Arenella - Vergine Maria Vacations from ￥566,313

A GEM in Palermo!!!! Safe gated parking… Wonderful menu at the restaurant on site and the staff could not have been more helpful. In fact, we met the owner who was welcoming and extremely gracious. Compared to the hotels in Palermo Center, this is truly the best option outside of the center. WE WILL RETURN.

This hotel alone is reason enough to visit the Valley of the Temples. From the moment you step through the door, the magic begins. The most important thing to know: book a room with a temple view — no matter the price. That view will become one of your most unforgettable memories of Sicily as a whole. The hotel has direct access to the entire archaeological park, and the entrance is not only convenient but also scenic, leading through a charming tree-lined path. Set aside at least an hour for breakfast — it's a full experience in itself, again with a breathtaking view of the temple. The entire hotel is filled with the fragrance of flowers. The rooms are brand new, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, with every detail carefully thought out: ultra-fast Wi-Fi, strong water pressure in the shower, perfect mattresses, excellent soundproofing. There’s also a picturesque pool, and throughout the hotel you’ll hear beautiful music playing in different corners, adding to the overall sense of peace and elegance.

This a very elegant and grandiose hotel!

Fabulous location in centre of Palermo within easy walking distance of the major sights & numerous cafe’s restaurants & shops. . The staff were very friendly & helpful. It’s an old building & our room was a bit tired, don’t expect shiny & new. The bartender was fab & we had a great cocktail on the roof terrace.

Property has its strengths and weaknesses. The location is fantastic, but the rooms are quite simple and lack some amenties like rugs, slippers, and mirrors in the lower chambers. AC doesn't work properly, making ut hard to cool down. The stairs feel a but rickety and aren't entirely safe when wanting to go to the bathroom if you sleep in lower chambers. The supplies in bathroom can be upgraded as you are paying a good amount for first class service. The pillows were soft and hard to sleep in but the bed was firm and perfect for a good nights sleep. On plus side the staff particularly Andreas, were really helpful and calm, even when dealing with issues like the room not matching what we booked. The coffee lady is also super kind and does a great job . Ultimelty, its up to you to decide if price is worth what you're getting. I prefer everything posh when paying $300 euros per night.
