The Liberty Hotel is in a very non-descript neighborhood, and the sign at the front is small. Once inside it is elegant and gracious. All the staff was terrific, the front desk is staffed 24/7 (and so is the bar) and the rooms are beautiful. It’s a short walk to a main shopping street and many restaurants, and easy to see the sights of Catania. There’s a great ceramic studio and shop just a block away, Maninterra, with beautiful traditional and modern ceramics. Breakfast is generous and can be taken outside on the beautiful terrace.
