8 best pet-friendly hotels in Catania

Pet-friendly hotels in Catania suit travellers who don’t want to leave their dog or cat behind, while still enjoying a memorable Sicilian city break. The best base for guests and pets is typically central Catania, where daily life is walkable and you can pause for shade and a slower pace at key green spots such as Giardino Bellini (Villa Bellini) on Via Etnea. For landmark-hunters, staying near the Piazza del Duomo area places you close to Catania’s historic core—an intersection where major streets converge and the baroque heart of the city comes into view.

A hotel that is genuinely pet-friendly goes beyond “allowing pets”. Look for practical touches that reduce stress for both you and your animal: clear pet policies, staff that can advise on the local routines, thoughtful room layouts, and an area where short walks are easy to organise. This is especially appealing to couples exploring on foot, families needing flexible schedules, and responsible pet owners who want daytime sightseeing without long transfers.

Within the Catania core, good examples from our bookable inventory include La Casa di Marcello (2★) and Palazzo Sisto Exclusive Rooms (3★) for a comfortable stay with an easy rhythm to the city’s main sights, plus Il Gattopardo House (3★) and B&b Scirocco d'Africa (3★) as solid options for travellers who prefer a central base and straightforward access to neighbourhood life.
