Bastione Spasimo Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the hotel. It was modern and clean and comfortable, while being in a historic building in the wonderful historic neighborhood of Kalsa. The staff and owners were warm, welcoming, and very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay. Only wish the AC was a little stronger in the extreme heat. Thank you, we will be back!!"

Porta di Castro Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"All I have to say is this was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had.. The room was clean and large.. the owner of the hotel was very hands on.. he parked our car and retrieved it for us.. served us breakfast every morning. The staff was great!! The desk girls were great and very knowledgeable.. They definitely made you feel like family here and would definitely stay there again.. the hotel was in a great location too.. we were able to walk just about everywhere except for The beach…"

Palazzo Natoli Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The sit-down customized breakfast was wonderful, and the next day they gave us a to-go breakfast because we needed to depart very early. The folks at the concierge desk were very, very helpful. They drew on a map the places that we could explore nearby. They arranged a driver for us for an excursion: the driver drove us to a site and waited for us as we visited the site, and then took us to the next site and waited for us, and drove us some more - it was great. Later that day, the concierge helped us out of a jam. We were stranded at the beach, and she arranged for a taxi to get us back to the hotel, at a much cheaper rate than other options. They spoke to the drivers in Italian for us. Palermo is a little gritty (but with an infectious energy), and this hotel was definitely not gritty. It is luxury - very clean, with modern decor. The room was very comfortable."
