Beautiful Hotel in the heart of Palermo. We stayed a couple of nights in August 2025 during our Honeymoon road trip around the south of Italy and Sicily. We couldn’t have made a better choice, all the staff are very friendly, the hotel decor is quality and our room was first class. We were fortunate to get one of the best rooms in the hotel that was located just off a small lounge area that provides free pastries, coffees and complimentary whisky! The lounge also had a mezzanine library area. We had a hire car which the hotel garaged for us during our stay for only 15 euros per day. The best hotel we stayed in during our little tour and the one that was the best value for money. 🙂
