About Palazzo Cartari

Guests arrive at Palazzo Cartari to discover a centuries-old Palermitan palazzo where stone archways frame intimate courtyards and candlelit galleries.

From the moment the first guest steps through Via dei Cartari's entrance, they move through restored rooms that hold the weight of Sicily's history while accommodating modern celebrations.

The venue transforms historic architecture into ceremony spaces and reception halls where the building itself becomes part of the storytelling.

Wonderful staff, here’s looking at you Silvio for making me all those coffees. Front office super attentive and friendly. Room was great. Enjoyed the shower and bathtub and the endless room. Great curtains.
