  Palazzo Biscari is an amazing privately owned home. It doesn't cost money to get in. The owner gives private tours and tells you the history of his home. Beautiful architecture and interior frescos.

  Rubbish. Walked all the way there on strength of reviews and sign outside which even said it had an audio guide in about five different languages. Looking for a way to get in an old man beckoned us to him and we asked where is was . . . . he shock his arm furiously and said privato to us gentle folk. Hmmm o dear . .

  We arranged the private visit with the owner Ruggero through email (email address can be found from their official website) ahead of our trip. Communication was easy and efficient. Charge was 5 euros per person, subject to a minimum charge of 50 euros per group. The place was quite easy to find though we were a bit uncertain when we got there as the main door was closed.Ruggero gave us a warm welcome. He was proud of his family history and gave us a lot of interesting facts about the house. It helped us understand not just the house but also the city itself. The house was exquisite, and gave us a sense of how the nobility in Catania lived back in those days. The visit lasted for about an hour. We would recommend this tour. Do book in advance / directly with the owner to avoid disappointment.

  Other reviewers have said that the owner does private tours of the building. This is not the case. When we arrived, we were told that it was a private building and were ushered out of the courtyard. Yet outside there is a sign which says 'audio guide'. Not acceptable, most disappointing.

  Take the little tourist road train for a tour of the city. Have coffee and little cakes in one of the cares and pose by the elephant fountain.

  This is a private property. Guided tours are irregular but if you are lucky then you must visit. The guide is a family member and co-owner. The public rooms are exquisite

  People who wrote bad reviews of this have misunderstood. It is private and the audioguide sign outside refers to a citywide street guide. The opening times are not regular, just ask at the tourist office nearby and if it opens when you are in Catania don't miss it. Charging 5 euros when we went, well worth it.

  A beautiful place with a fascinating history, told by none other than the present count Ruggiero, a most enchanting host!
