THE INTRODUCTION
Ignatius Paternò Castello, the fifth prince of Biscari, realized his dream of preserving his imperial baroque residence founded on the fifteenth century city walls of the city of Catania.  

 The palace occupies an entire block and is kept as an exemplary abode, honouring the city of Catania. Its entrance is on the homonymous street, Via Museo Biscari. 

Palazzo Biscari is kept as the most beautiful and well kept palace in Catania, just as Prince Ignatius dreamed, a treasure to be enjoyed by all. Preliminary construction of the palace itself began in 1702 after the catastrophic earthquake of 1693 that destroyed half of Sicily.

THE HOSPITALITY
The Biscari Palace is one of the oldest palaces in Catania, a precious relic of the Sicilian rococo past. Its walls are ornate with frescoes that are still intact, hosting meetings, concerts, and events with a capability of 350 people. 

For foreigners we can organise banquets with traditional menus and musical entertainment with waiters.  

Furthermore, the palace is available for guided tours in the private apartments as well, with refreshment offered. Palazzo Biscari is conveniently located in the heart of the city near all the historical treasures such as the Cathedral,Via Crociferi, the Teatro Bellini, Piazza Bellini, Piazza Universita', Palazzo degli Elefanti, Via Etnea and Castello Ursino.  

THE GUEST-QUARTERS
A valid alternative to a medium or long stay at the hotel is provided by the guest quarters where conventions or meetings can also take place. Located in the historical center, in the inside of the fifteenth century foundation facing the port, the guestrooms have their own entrance at number 22 of Piazza Duca di Genova.

A climatized flat complete with bathroom, kitchen area, courtyard, balcony and terrace, with two single sofa beds and an extra one if needed.
