Leaving

Everything was exceptional. We have never stayed in such an amazing place -private quarters in an old palace in the centre of Palermo old town. You will have privileged access to an enormous bedroom and adjoining salon/dining room, all furnished In the best possible taste and with displays of beautiful ornaments, plates and even miniature shoes. In fact you might want to spend your time just living the life of a minor noble without venturing outside! Breakfast ( in the private dining room is copious and delicious - eggs, bacon, ham, cheeses, fruit and pastries all created by your hostess Paola. It appears as if by magic at the time you have requested. There is parking in the enclosed courtyard and once there you are unlikely to want to move your car until you leave - everything is nearby. In the immediate area there are some wonderful restaurants.We enjoyed Quattro Mano and even the simpler Pot Cucina opposite the appartment is excellent. Most places that you will want to visit are also within walking distance - even for us septuagenarians. If you can book it don’t hesitate.

Located right in the city center and was lively and noisy .. we couldn’t keep our windows open during the night due to the loud partying in the neighborhood. However it was quiet when we closed the windows , and the AC kept the place cool.

Gorgeous palazzo filled with antiques and gorgeous and sumptuously decorated! We couldn’t believe we had the whole lush suite to ourselves ! Paola prepared all the gourmet breakfast dishes herself! Could not have asked for more!

This is one of the best places I have had the chance to stay in during my numerous travels. My boyfriend and I literally stayed in a palace and were treated royally! To have an amazing breakfast served in a our own private dining room was an unforgettable experience! Loved spending time admiring the authentic decorations and furniture which transported me to another century. Donna Guia Suite is walking distance from restaurants and numerous attractions. The host was courteous and attentive to our needs. The parking is in an interior piazza and very secure. A must if you plan to visit Palermo!

A sumptuous apartment with a gorgeous terrace and the most amazing breakfast. Great location - easy walking to all of Palermo's treats. Felt like royalty! Paula couldn't have been more helpful.

Nothing, exceptional experience.

Breakfast was a delight with more options than we ever see. We had cakes, croissants, wonderful fruits, eggs, cheeses, meat selections, biscuits, very good coffee and even more. Apartment location is in the very center of the city, short walks to restaurants or sights. Paula was a great host.

This place is absolutely stunning. Authentic Sicilian living.

Beautiful apartment and the breakfast was like having a room service that brought you everything and was very fresh. The host was amazing and very sweet.

Second time at this magnificent accommodation. It is unique and accurately described in all the other rave reviews. I endorse those and confine my comment this time to thanking our hosts for another wonderful stay. In particular- what a comfortable bed. Quite possibly the most comfortable bed ever!

Wow! What a wonderful experience having a huge part of a historic Palermo palazzo all to ourselves. Location perfect - in the Centro Storico but away from the crowds. Breakfast was royal. You descend 5 marble stairs into your private ballroom/dining room to fruit salad, eggs, bacon, bruschetta, avocado, pastries,...or have coffee on your private terrace. Paola was the perfect host. Best meals in Palermo were her restaurant recommendations.

Wow, it is like stepping into history and luxury! We loved experiencing Palazzo Life, if just for a few nights. Our gorgeous room was enormous and we had access to the dining room which became our own private salon for breakfast and a few work calls. The whole place is ridiculously over the top but exceptional authentic. There is an air of mystery and history in every piece of furniture and decor. Paola made sure everything was perfect—down to our morning coffee and custom fruit breakfast. We truly felt like Sicilian Royalty!

Hard to find the entrance from the street but not a problem as Paola was on hand and rang to assist.

The breakfast was superb and the host was very helpful. A very large apartment within a fascinating building, full of character. A quiet retreat within the historic centre.

We couldn't fault anything.

It was very spacious, very grand and royal. Location was amazing. We travelled by train. Which was only 6 minutes walk away. Paola, the host was very professional and has thought of everything. Her breakfast spread was probably the best we have ever had. I'm gluten free and she accommodated that very well.

There‘s nothing to complain about.

The suite is simply fantastic. It feels like spending time in a castle. The hostess is incredibly accommodating. She is always available to answer questions and check that everything is okay. The breakfast was top notch. There is nothing missing and the selection is great. There was a surprise for breakfast every day. Frankly, this is a place you want to be.

Nothing to complain about.

Breakfast....better impossible, location: walking distance to every place not much than 15 min Room size and decoration (it is a Palace), Access to the room by elevator, safety property. Parking in the same property. Same amount booking.com declare in terms and conditions. The best part is the personalized attention we received by Paola

Practically everything about this accommodation was gorgeous and incredibly special. The family made us so very welcome and even allowed us to invite our family whom we were visiting for a pizza supper which they kindly ordered for us. The breakfasts were superb and plentiful. The bed very comfortable. It was a stunning retreat and so quiet considering the central location. Altogether fabulous!

The only downside is that there are only two available accommodations, limiting the opportunity for our whole family to experience this wonderful stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment in Palermo! The stunning 500-year-old apartment was beautifully decorated with an array of pictures, old pieces, and portraits, which added to its charm. We had access to the main entry, living room, dining room, bedroom, and a full bathroom. The breakfast provided was superbly prepared and the dining room setup was done so professionally that we couldn't hear a sound. The location was conveniently close to various attractions, making it easily accessible. Thank you for everything!!

The only thing negative was our navigation found the location difficult .

The property is beautifully decorated and every detail is of a very high standard , beautiful cotton bed linen , comfortable bed , breakfast is amazing with a large selection of fruit , eggs , juice , pastries etc. I would return your Donna Guia suite when next in Palermo . I would recommend

Most comfortable beds and pillows I've seen in a hotel in a long time! The private balcony was very perfect, the room spacious, and we were so pleasantly surprised when we realised that the huge dining room was all to ourselves, so although this is a shared apartment, one has all the privacy one needs. Paola's breakfast is a delight and although it is a very lovely neighborhood, the accommodation per se is very quiet. Would definitely recommend.
