I had a wonderful stay at this hotel located right in the heart of the old part of Palermo. The rooms were stunning and spacious, and the service was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location made it easy to explore the city's major sights. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, and it would have been nice to have more modern amenities available.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, situated in a charming pedestrian area of Palermo that allowed me to explore the city easily. The room was quite spacious, featuring an impressive early 18th century painted ceiling, but it did show some signs of wear. The staff treated us like nobility and their hospitality truly made a difference.

The hotel has a charming ambiance and is perfectly located in the heart of Palermo, making it easy to explore key sights. The rooms reflect the character of Palermo, although they could use some maintenance to enhance the experience. I found the staff friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast served was quite delicious. However, the area around the rooms can feel a bit dark due to nearby buildings, and some facilities are not up to modern standards.

I recently stayed in a charming Sicilian apartment right in the heart of Palermo. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore all the key sights within walking distance. The hospitality was heartwarming, especially when the housekeeper surprised us with a bottle of wine for our wedding. On the downside, while the apartment itself had a lovely balcony view, the lack of windows made it feel a bit closed off. Overall, it was a good value stay.
