In the historic heart of Catania, right beside the Roman amphitheatre and the Church of San Biagio, you’ll find Elle Dimora di Sicilia, an intimate guesthouse with just three suites, created by the young owner Elle in her former family home. This is not a standard place to stay, but a sensory experience shaped by colour, light, art and stories. Everything feels carefully curated: from the hand-painted ceilings and sculptural furniture to the pastel-toned rooms where old and new blend in soft harmony.
Each suite feels like its own little world: frescoed ceilings, a wealth of artworks and contemporary design pieces, natural fabrics and a serene, refined atmosphere. All suites have luxurious bathrooms, one with a freestanding bathtub and another with a beautiful circular shower.
In the morning, a thoughtful Sicilian breakfast awaits in the blue breakfast room, with soft velvet seating and the iconic oversized portrait by Sergio Fiorentino. Afterwards, the rooftop terrace may well be the most magical spot in the house: a sheltered garden high above the city, with views over rooftops, ruins and the amphitheatre, an open-air stage of light, scents and Sicilian atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to have breakfast, read, reflect or simply watch how the sun changes the colours of Catania throughout the day.
Elle Dimora di Sicilia is a place for art lovers and travellers looking for something intimate and authentic, a stay where history, beauty and emotion come together naturally. And as soon as you step outside, all of Catania lies at your feet: lively streets, baroque squares, market sounds, street food and the powerful presence of Mount Etna, always close by.
