Hotels near Spiaggia Vergine Maria in Palermo

I read the bad reviews on Skyscanner and was skeptical about it. But trust me, in complete Sicily we booked various hotels and this was one of the best, with complete English speaking staff, more than excellent freshly prepared breakfast and the variety in breakfast was uncountable, it was tasty and fresh.. The staff was amazing, car parking available, good Ambience... 5 star from my side...

The best five-star hotel in the area, which is right next to the beach and very quiet. The room is small but the bathroom is very spacious. The breakfast is very exquisite and the environment is very good. Parking is free. Wi-Fi is not good enough.

The location of the hotel is good, at the junction of the old city and the new city, on the second main road. With a long history and luxurious style, the breakfast room is like a small palace, and the breakfast variety is also rich. It is the old problem of this type of hotel. The air-conditioning on the upper floors is loud, but later it was changed to a lower floor. The service is good.

Friendly reception staff, very large hotel room with full bathroom and walk in wardrobe, lovely restaurant, lots of seating options and lovely pool (not heated though). Great walking distance from botanical gardens and the old town part of Palermo as well as the marina front.

All good, thank you.

You don't really get much for your money - rooms outdated, very simple furniture. Cleaning is done only on the surface. Staff work hard but under great stress. Sea view rooms are the only option, because with ”garden” view you will only get parking and backyard view. The pool ist nice, but it is hard to get sunbeds and umbrellas since some guests go down early in the morning to put their towels there and then don't show up until noon. Staff not really helpful in this respect. Access to the sea not recommendable for people with light handicap. Fine breakfast with good variety of pastry, fresh fruit. For lunch better go around the corner to the stabilimento (under same management as the hotel) for simple but authentic food at a good price. Dinner at the hotel expensive (100 Euro for two). Waiter told us to better come in September, August is really crowded, no late check-out possible if your flight is in the evening.

Nice hotel. Sea view from the room we were in. Comfortable room with spacious fridge, bed and plenty of storage space. A great little terrace to stand up and see the sea from the room. Top notch staff, very welcoming and make the effort to speak French when it is difficult. Extra breakfast with Italian specialties. Very original decor. Too bad the relaxation area was under construction. So no spa available. We did not try the swimming pool with the beach opposite. But the swimming cap is obligatory. Opposite the hotel, 2 minutes away, there are several coves where locals come to swim without too many tourists. To go to Mondello Beach you have to take either a bus in 5 minutes you are there (not very regular and punctual). Where on foot in 20 min. Next to the hotel there is a supermarket, restaurant and bakery. It was perfect!

We stayed for 4 nights earlier this month, using the apartment as a base to explore Palermo. Our one bedroom apartment on the second floor was very spacious with lots of living space, a handy kitchen/dining room and separate bedroom with a balcony. It was light and airy. The bathroom was functional although the shower was on the small side. It contained a washing machine which came in handy as the weather was very warm! The staff at this place were friendly and helpful. Even though the apartments are not in the centre of the action there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, grocery stores etc. Shout out to the Orient Express cafe. The only negative thing I have to say is that when we first arrived the apartment smelled strongly of cigarettes, which as non-smokers was a bit off putting. Luckily it dissipated quickly.

Shameful the treatment received by this hotel that after having booked and PAID for our room more than ONE AND A HALF MONTH earlier (attached payment document), warns us a few hours after arriving in Palermo that our room has been given to other people (is not available!). This is already outrageous, but in addition they allow themselves to try to deceive us by offering us accommodation on the outskirts of Palermo and on another hotel with lower category when the LAW REQUIRES that, in these cases, the client concerned must be given a room in the same or a higher category and in the same area. It is clear that I am going to warn everyone who comes to Palermo (Sicily) PLEASE, NOT TO BOOK AT THIS HOTEL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!. Because if they have done this to us going with a travel agency, I can’t imagine what they will not do with people traveling on their own, with kids or with older people who are easier to deceive. This is the type of management of a hotel that must be removed forever. This type of actions give a bad reputation to tourism in the whole country and should be monitored by the relevant authorities.
