Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Lower overall rating than the area average — While guests praise the stay, the property scores 7.9 against the Palermo average of 8.9, suggesting it's not universally loved.
  • Check-out is early — You'll need to be out by 10:00, which can feel rushed for a leisurely morning.
  • No pets allowed — The property doesn't accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you travel with a dog or cat.
  • Limited room options — There are just four unit types, all with a king bed or twin configuration — no suites or multiple-bedroom options beyond the family studio.

“The rooms were nicely furnished with a TV, living area, and sofa. The spot was great, especially being a 5-minute drive from a monumental fountain. Since there was a kitchenette, we made our own breakfast.”
