Cool artsy hotel
Really enjoyed our stay. Owner, hosts, service and breakfasts were great. Room very comfortable. Hotel decor is very eclectic/bohemian. Location is good for those who like to walk … if new to area, difficult driving and locating hotel. Don’t recommend car rental. Really get a taste of Palermo living. Loved it ❤️❤️❤️

We LOVED staying at the Porta di Castro, very beautiful property with attention to detail. The staff were amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable and always greeted you with a smile. They made you feel like family. The property is very central to all the shops and attractions. You must try the spa its relaxing and so tranquil. The pool is prefect for a quick dip to refresh after a day of sightseeing or just to unwind, especially in the summer months. The breakfast is plentiful as well and delicious with lots of variety. Grazie Mille💚🤍❤️

We loved our stay! The breakfast was the best we had on our whole 2 week trip. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the hotel was within walking distance to many of the main attractions. They had valet underground parking that was perfect. The room was clean and they upgraded us free of charge. Overall, we had an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this hotel. We did not use the pool so I can’t comment on it.

There probably aren’t enough stars for me to rate this perfect little boutique hotel . If I could rate a 20 I would . From reception the night we checked in to where Rosalea warmed us in as if we were family with homemade cannoli to Margaret who went over and above in helping us with suggestions for eating & item of AC to be quickly fixed to the array of delicacies placed in front of us for breakfast to the location of this hotel to walking distance to everything . They welcomed us as if we were the only ones in their home ( of course everyone treated the same . What a gem . It’s an artsy boutique hotel & spa . Don’t miss

What to say. The team could not have been anymore welcoming. There was an issue with the booking but we were upgraded. We had to move rooms but they did all the work. Super helpful, attentive, great with tips and tricks for our visits, and the breakfast was huge! Car looked after and ready when needed (and trust me you don’t want to worry about parking in Palermo). Would recommend to anyone.

The hotel is in a very conveniently and centrally located neighborhood, which unfortunately also means all street-facing rooms are quite noisy. As far as the interior, Porta di Castro is taking ‘shabby’ chic a bit too far, with comforts and convenience frequently sacrificed for quirkiness. Breakfast is generous but impresses more through quantity than quality. Overall far too expensive for what it is.

The staff are over the top helpful, friendly, kind, engaging, and do what they can to make your stay more comfortable. We came in early on the train. They took our bags before room was ready (they were waiting on us in our room by time we came back), and had an amazing breakfast for us (that same morning - which they didn't have to do) - as well as local map, and information for us upon arrival (and plenty of literature/travel books if interested)! They gave us a complimentary upgrade (for a room that was quiet/bigger - lovely), and accommodated our request for wine glasses for nighttime. There is an elevator even (which is a huge plus after a long day on our feet)! We even asked (and they arranged) a personal driver for a day to visit the ruins at Segesta - which was so much better/more convenient than the other trip options available on travel sites. Went way above and beyond what we expected. Would definitely stay again.

If you like minimalism and sterile hotels this is not for you. Eclectic decor, interesting art and a Cuban feel greets you. The staff were really friendly and helpful and breakfast is exceptional. Good location for exploring but not the quietest area.
