Lovely hotel, made to feel very welcome by the staff. The breakfast was amazing and could have fed at least 4 people and there was only 2 of us! Very comfy bed in air conditioned room with fridge in it, and lovely bathroom with nice walk in shower, ticked all the boxes.

My husband and I are blown away by the level of care and service at Porta di Castro. The breakfast here every morning is great (it’s impossible to leave here hungry) and they were so helpful with everything we asked about. The hotel is well located to several attractions here in Palermo, it really is a must stay. We would come back to stay here if our future journeys bring us back to Palermo. Just, wow!

Excellent location, beautiful building with 500 years of history, amazing team and extremely helpful owner. Unfortunately there was only one room available - basic triple. This is the most basic room in this property. Definitely worth the stay. Breakfast is overwhelmingly rich! Ah, yes, there is also a 100 year pool with amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend the place.
