There is a brand new Living Boutique Hotel in the heart of Catania. It is conceived to welcome all its guests with the typical Sicilian hospitality, made of warmth and special care: it is called Moresco.
The property is located in a historic building from the 18th century, recently restored to provide modern comfort without affecting its identity.
The story being told inside the palace speaks about the Arab occupation, which began in 827 in the Trapani area and then extended to all the Sicilian land.
Two and a half centuries of power, opulence, opulence and new architectural concepts.
At that time, many buildings were made in perfect harmony with nature: palaces, mosques, minarets, gardens and fountains. The refined hotel rooms evoke all this, thanks to the wonderful frescoes painted by a local artist.
The garden scenes, in particular, recall those of the rooms of Roger II of Altavilla. In 1130, in fact, he decided for a complex pictorial reorganization of all the rooms of Palazzo dei Normanni (built by the Arabs in Palermo two hundred years earlier) to represent sort of exotic paradise, where creatures of various species – such as parrots, barn owls, elephants, camels, monkeys and peacocks – roamed around: those animals also represent power, royalty and the beauty of the spirit, through a symbolic reading.
Moresco offers total privacy in its rooms, combining the whiteness of the walls with fabrics inspired by precious gems: ruby, sapphire, topaz and turquoise.
This kaleidoscope of colors, Art, Architecture and comfort is called MORESCO.

La struttura si affaccia sulla storia di questa terra con arredamento che ripercorre il passato di questa terra senza dimenticare le comodità del presente. Un tuffo nel Passato e nel decoro antico nel pieno centro di Catania.

Daniele / Google My Business

La location ci ha davvero stupiti, non avevo visto mai strutture così curate nei particolari soprattutto per i dettagli dell’arredamento e nei confort che abbiamo trovato nella nostra camera e nelle stanze comuni. Staff disponibile e professionale, si trova in una posizione strategica per visitare Catania

Amos / Booking

Luogo raffinato, elegante. Rappresenta pienamente la ricercatezza e il buon gusto tipico di una Sicilia ancorata al suo passato ma che strizza l’occhio ad una modernità che la catapulta nel terzo millennio. Consiglio vivamente un soggiorno per godere dei piaceri del relax e confort assoluti.
