Porta di Castro Boutique Hotel & Spa

We had a fantastic stay at this quirky little boutique hotel in Palermo, Sicily. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Even though we showed up earlier than planned, they had no problem letting us in and went out of their way to accommodate us. We were offered a massive breakfast completely free of charge while we waited, which was such a generous touch. Not only that, but we were also invited to relax by the pool until our rooms were ready — a perfect way to unwind after traveling. The atmosphere of the place is relaxed and a bit offbeat in the best possible way — full of personality and charm. It’s rare to find a place where the customer service feels this genuine. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a warm, welcoming, and slightly unconventional stay in Palermo!

This hotel was so welcoming! Even though we had to leave before breakfast they brought a breakfast platter up to our room with lots of yummy stuff on it! It’s a boutique hotel so it has a great personality and super cute rooms!

We loved the design that combines the old castle building with modern touches, including the scooters and bicycles used as decorations. The service was warm and full of personal touches. We really enjoyed the welcome cocktail and the cassata cake. A very generous breakfast and spotless rooms made the stay even better. In the end, it is truly great value for money.

Staff was helpful, generous and friendly. Accommodated early and late checkout. Took time to serve us a sweet and orient us with a map/list of restaurants. Breakfast was served at table with platters of pastry, meat, cheeses, fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt-very good!! The room was a little run down (we had Junior suite)-but for that it would have been excellent!!

The service where top class! Breakfast 10/10. Very good beds. Maybe the room could be a little more cozy….the walls are empty, no pictures. But overall really good.

Extremely enjoyable stay Outstanding staff and amazing breakfast. My room was small but perfectly adequate for a solo traveler Highly recommend

Porta Di Castro is a well placed hotel, but set in an edgy district of Palermo. Charming staff whom were very helpful and respectful.

What a wonderful hidden gem of a hotel this turned out to be. Staff was wonderful, breakfast was incredible and was close to all that we wanted to see. Would definitely recommend as well as stay here again in the future. OWNER WAS hands on and made our stay so enjoyable.
