Those who check in at Asmundo Gisira have decided to live in the heart of Catania – more precisely, next to the famous fish market. Piazza Duomo is also only a stone’s throw away from Palazzo Asmundo, and if you stand on the roof terrace, you can sometimes even see the smoking summit of Etna, hear the hourly bells of the cathedral and if the wind is blowing, you can smell not only the fish from the market but also the sea! The suites and rooms are decorated according to different themes and each room offers a charming view of the turbulent Marktgasse. Only those who have a noise-sensitive sleep should be aware that in the early hours of the morning the merchants set up their picture-book stalls with sumptuous bouquets of fresh vegetables, bright yellow lemons and wild artichokes.
