This may be the best hotel that we have ever stayed at. The space is beautiful and elegant. The…read morerooms are awesome. We upgraded and had a beautifully appointed room with a patio. The staff couldn't do enough for us. The outdoor spaces are amazing. The restaurant and bar offer well shaded dining areas with an ocean view. It's a lot of fun to linger over the excellent breakfast or a cocktail. The poolside area is ringed with lounge chairs and attentive staff. At first I was concerned because the hotel is located outside of downtown Palermo. There are shuttles that drop you off downtown.

Style and class is combined with a relaxed approach and a beauty that stuns you. Palermo at its best. And you can in fact stay here without ruining yourself.

Sad to say this kind of experience probably will not last for ever...
