“Fantastic views, friendly staff, relaxing stay close to Palermo without the bustle of the city.”
Rob,
London
The hotel is situated at the top of a hill in the small settlement of Monreale, away Palermo, yet within easy access by bus to the city. The hotel is 3,500 ft above sea level, in a charming location overlooking the Conca d’Oro (the golden shell) famed for its large quantities of orange, almond and olive trees that adorn the surrounding countryside. Most rooms have a balcony or a terrace where you can enjoy a refreshing drink while you experience some breathtaking views of Palermo and the Sicilian coastline and breathe in the clean mountain air. The hotel is ideally situated for walking into Monreale or for a bus trip into Palermo; an attractive alternative to staying in the hustle and bustle of the capital of Sicily. Hotel Rooms: 30 Most recent booking for this hotel was yesterday at 09:31 from Russia.

Big and comfortable room with gorgeous view (particularly at night time and breakfast at balcony) from peak and excellent service - so "value for money" :)

The situation of the hotel is fantastic, incredible views from front facing rooms across Palermo and the sea beyond. The public rooms are from another era, charmingly old fashioned which just adds to the hotel's unusual character and makes it a different, but wonderful place to stay. The bedroom was comfortable and spacious but the toilet awkwardly placed, especially for the elderly. The breakfasts a little sparse but the view from the terrace made up for that. The management pleasant and helpful. We would love to go there again! The hotel is difficult for access along a narrow road full of parked cars. But we got there ok! Access is no fault of the hotel, blame it on the motor cars which really shouldn't be there! No different from so many Italian towns/cities.

Beautiful situation with tremendous view over the countryside to Palermo. A good place to stay to see the stunning cathedral of Monreale. It was quite difficult to find. Parking in the town is difficult and for restaurants etc you really have to leave your car in the hotel car park and walk .It's about a 15min walk maybe a problem for some. A minor point -a bit disappointing breakfast for the money as the orange juice was very watery as was the coffee.

Wonderful location just outside the hustle of Monreale but near enough to walk to the cathedral, the main local attraction. Great views over the valley and Palermo for breakfast.

The view from the breakfast room/lounge and the rooms on that side is truly spectacular. It really is only a short walk from the centre of . Proprietor is helpful and speaks several languages. Free parking is a bonus and it's 20 mins to the centre of Palermo by reasonably frequent bus. Decor is a bit old fashioned. It was hard to work out how to drive there, but this is a problem everywhere in Sicily!

The position 1000' above Palermo was spectacular. Breakfast was good with fresh ricotta part of the offerings every day. The hotel owner Armando and the two Robertos were very friendly and informative. Armando especially is very knowledgeable about Monreale and Palermo. Parking was excellent. The hotel is situated about 800 m from the center, which might be a problem for people not used to walking very far. We did it twice a day with no problems. The bus into Palermo is temporarily suspended. Talk to Armando for alternatives.

Good location for visiting Monreale. On cliff so nice views of Palermo and surrounding area Very hard to find Monreale turnoff in the dark from main road in Palermo - no signs apparent. Rescued by some friendly locals who showed us the way. Once on right street, hotel was ok to find but very narrow, steep and car lined streets in Monreale - beware if arriving in day.

the location of the Hotel with the wonderful view. Breakfast on the sunny terrace where whole Palermo is lying under your foot. The cleanliness of the room and the bath (especially the daily fresh towels wich are dried on the roofterrace). the narrow street what leeds to the hotel with a bit to much traffic for me

The view over Palermo Harbor was magnificent, both from my room and the breakfast room/terrace. The host greeted us warmly, helped us make dinner reservations in town, and laid out a breakfast buffet that included good pastries, good Americano coffee and heated milk, ham and cheese with so-so bread. The grounds are landscaped with beautiful, healthy succulents. The host allowed us to leave our car in his parking lot until we were ready to leave Monreale at 3 in the afternoon. Terrific value for the off-season tariff of about 80 euros double. If you are afraid of driving in very tight streets, often facing opposing traffic with few places to turn off, this is not for you. Park somewhere else and take a taxi to this otherwise delightful hotel. The shower was a tight fit in the corner of the bathroom, but the water was hot and consistent.

Die Lage des Hotels mit Blick über Palermo und die Nähe zum Zentrum von Monreale. Fußweg zur Besichtigung des Domes. Die Bezahlung der Rechnung nur mit Cash wegen Ausfall des Computers. Wenn dies vorher bekannt ist, kein Problem.

Sin duda, su ubicación .pocas veces hemos estado en un hotel que tuviera tan espectaculares vistas ,en este caso de Palermo,tanto nocturnas como diurnas.La paz y el silencio son maravillosos Es un antiguo hotel,que debe haber sido lujoso en su momento, pero esta muy DESCUIDADO,humedad en las paredes,lamparitas quemadas,plantas muriendo de sed,óxido en las rejas,sillas y mesas desteñidas,,manteles arrugados.El desayuno bastante pobre y el personal,con el mínimo de cortesía.Hasta nos reclamaron que nosotros pagábamos menos por Booking que lo que ellos cobran.
