Porta di Castro Hotel & Spa

Porta di Castro Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"A wonderful experience and stay. Staff is awesome and so helpful. Anticipating requests. Our suite was huge and very comfortable and clean. Some rooms smaller. Breakfast is generous and delicious. Note: no room safe and pool & hot tub are beautiful but not warm enough for most guests. A great location to access historic center of Palermo. Glad we stayed 4 nights."
