Frommer's "Located in the suburb of Acquasanta... this is still arguably the best place to stay in town." Full review
Insight Guides "Set out of town, in Acquasanta, on cliffs above the bay, this is Palermo’s prestigious landmark hotel."
DK Eyewitness "Set above the west end of Palermo’s harbour, the city’s most romantic and deluxe hotel is a favourite of the international and political elite."
Rough Guide "This classic Art Nouveau building of 1900, originally a villa of the Florio family (the people who pioneered tuna canning), stands outside the city centre above the marina of Acquasanta."
Star Service "On a scenic point beside a peaceful cove, just north of the more commercial Grand Hotel et des Palmes, 2 kilometers north of the ferry terminal, this ornate traditional tease is a solid offering." Full review
