My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The location was perfect, right in the center of Palermo against the mountains beyond and just off the alley. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I loved having my own private terrace with a stunning view. The service was top-notch, with a welcome drink upon arrival and helpful assistance for anything I needed. The dining experience was delightful with homemade patisserie and different homemade cakes. However, the hotel could improve on their facilities as some were outdated. The price was reasonable, offering good value for money.
