"We loved the view from the room over Palermo. The room was clean and comfortable, bathroom modern. It would have been nice to have a kettle or coffee maker in room and some tissues! The staff at the desk were so helpful. Breakfast and dinner were a little limited in choice but tasty and well prepared. The pools were closed but it was too cool anyway. It is a half hour from Palermo center requiring a car or taxi up a winding road but the staff were helpful in arranging rides."
