Room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were amazing. They were friendly and courteous and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. The owner was incredible and made sure that all our needs were taken care of. Driving in Palermo is not easy and he willingly escorted us to a main road. We are so gkad we chose to stay here

Whimsical but charming accommodations

This is a whimsically decorated place and not your traditional hotel atmosphere but meets all your needs. The hotel staff was very helpful especially Dalila was very friendly and provided excellent guidance.

We loved the location, the staff and vibe of the hotel. The breakfast was wonderful- quite the spread! There is a pool but it was icy cold and not really usable so I would suggest heating the pool to make it nice for guests to use.

We loved the design that combines the old castle building with modern touches, including the scooters and bicycles used as decorations. The service was warm and full of personal touches. We really enjoyed the welcome cocktail and the cassata cake. A very generous breakfast and spotless rooms made the stay even better. In the end, it is truly great value for money.
