“Fabulous stay! The best of our 2 week trip to Sicily!”
+The Palace was exceptional! Beautiful! The owners gave us a tour and the history. We wanted to stay here because of this! I wish we could have stayed longer than one night. The room was big and updated. The palace is just amazing.
−The location is a little hard to reach by car. Since we are from the US we are not used to navigating the small streets with the car we had (not a tiny one). The owners did give us directions but our GPS decided it wanted to go its own way. The owners helped us get there!! And it was worth it!

“Al Palazzo is an unforgettable experience!”
+An opportunity to live in a beautifully renovated magnificent 18th century palace, and be pampered by the lovely noblewoman and her husband. Not far from the beautiful mosaics at Villa Romana.

+Al Palazzo was the highlight of our Sicilian vacation stays! Raffaella was so gracious and she made the stay even more unique and wonderful by giving a tour of the palazzo. Breakfast was a bonus and was bountiful and lovely.
−Everything was amazing and beautiful!

“Wonderful historic palace - the perfect base for the Villa Romana mosaics nearby”
+It's an extraordinary privilege to stay in this wonderful ancient palace in the heart of Piazza Armerina - Raffaella and Claudio, who inherited this family home and have lovingly restored it, could not have been more welcoming and generous. They supervised parking (no easy thing in these narrow streets), shared excellent eating-and-drinking recommendations, and gave us super-abundant breakfasts. The rooms are comfortable, with all modern conveniences, and the atmosphere of the palace is soothing and timeless amidst the bustle of the town. It's the perfect base to see the glorious mosaics at the Villa Romana nearby - which should be at the top of anyone's list of things-to-see-in-Sicily. Just magic!

“Fantastic place and host. Highly recommended.”
+It’s a whole palace owned and run by a gracious Baroness and her husband. They couldn’t have been more helpful and warm. It includes a chapel and palatial ballroom and lounge. Rooms are very comfortable. Food is great. And the location is perfect. I can’t say enough about it. Wonderful!
−Nothing.

“The highlight of our trip to Sicily.”
+Our wonderful hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. They carried our luggage up the staircases, since there is no elevator. They also drove us to two of the most important destinations which we wanted to visit in their area, and advised us how to take the bus for a day trip to Enna. We had booked a room with no breakfast, but they invited us to enjoy the generous buffet breakfast every morning. They also recommended some restaurants for us. Every day the hostess checked to make sure that we were well informed about our sightseeing options and answered any questions we might have. Our spacious and comfortable room was in a family owned palazzo, which was beautifully decorated, and we enjoyed seeing the historic reception rooms and private chapel. We liked staying in the historic part of the city.
−It took a long time to get hot water in the bathroom sink, although the hot water in the shower worked OK.

+We had a wonderful stay here. Ideally located in the down town, this elegant historic residence boasts a charming courtyard, a classically decorated and art-filled drawing room, comfortable and immaculate rooms, and a generous breakfast. The hostess kindly showed us the magnificent family salon, bringing its former splendour back to life. Stepping inside felt like travelling back in time to an aristocratic salon in the early 20th century. We are especially grateful to our hostess for recommending the Museo Archeologico di Aidone, where we had the privilege of discovering some truly astonishing Greek archaeological treasures. A memorable stay, made all the more special by the gracious hospitality of our hosts and the timeless charm of the home.

“If you would like to experience genuine non touristy Sicily go to this place.”
+This property was a genuine beautifully restored Palazzo. We went to Piazza Armerina to see the incredible mosaics at Villa Romana dei Casale and stayed overnight in this jewell. The owners, who were descendants of the original palazzo inhabitants were an old family from this region and went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and interesting visit. It was our favourite place on our entire trip around Sicily.
−Absolutely nothing.

“Perfect location, spectacular views, wonderful hosts”
+Of all the places we stayed in Sicily (and there were many!), Al Palazzo may have been the most satisfying. First, the location is unbeatable, just steps from the Cathedral and Castle and shopping street. Second, the building is thrilling - in the owner's family for countless generations, lovingly preserved where it should be and modernized where it's helpful. Our room looked out over the shingled roof to the Duomo, one of the most beautiful hotel window rooms I've ever had! Raffaella and Claudio were incredibly helpful and also lovely people to get to know a little. Breakfast was delicious, parking free (just ask them), the bed comfortable, the shower strong and hot. Piazza Armerina was a stunning stop. Don't drive by after your visit to Villa Romana del Casale - make it a point to stay overnight!
−Just absolutely nothing. Loved it.
