"Beauty room with view of the city and ocean. Can’t say enough about the staff. I booked twice because I never got a confirmation from Expedia so I tried again, then ended up with 2 reservations. The young man at the reception tried hard to help me fix the problem, while I was chatting with Expedia. He was able to to give me the booking number of the first attempt. The property is in the mountains in Palermo, a bit far from the center, but great for relaxing. The restaurant is very good with many dining options. Highly recommended."

"The room was spacious with comfortable beds. The staff were generally helpful and the breakfast options were adequate. There was plenty of places to sit, although we did visit in early October and I can imagine it getting very busy. The hotel is situated at the end of a busy road with lots of shops and restaurants nearby. The main sites are at the other end of road, but it’s just a 20-30 minutes’ walk to reach them. Overall, I found the hotel a good place to base ourselves to explore Palermo."

"Upon entering the hotel I was suprised how modern it was. My room was not ready but the receptionist immediately supplied me with coffee and pastry. She was very friendly and informative. My room was lovely and clean with a little balcony. I spent half an hour listening to a little girl and a middle aged woman happily chatting away together, from their respective balconies on opposite sides of the street!! Breakfast was fabulous, one of the best I have had! Oh, and the lift was glass!"
