Amazing location in the heart of Palermo city. It is not a modern hotel but a well kept traditional property - but it does have a lift! Rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable with working AC. Both Giuseppe and his colleague Dario were super friendly and helpful. A typically European style continental breakfast is offered daily. Parking onsite is free - you do have to drive into the pedestrian zone but it’s very close to the top of the street so you don’t have to drive far. Would recommend for short stays.

Lovely propert and convenient location to explore Palermo on foot. We also used this as a jumping off location to explore the surrounding area by car.

Breakfast was continental style, owner very friendly and helpful, location great, restaurants close by. Enjoyed our stay

We stayed at Palazzo Pantaleo for one night and had a wonderful experience. It offers a rare combination in central Palermo: the main attractions, restaurants, and lively streets are within walking distance, yet the hotel is remarkably peaceful. Set in a secluded courtyard behind surrounding buildings, it feels like an oasis in the heart of the action. A major advantage for anyone traveling through Sicily by car is the private parking directly in front of the hotel. Although the property is within a pedestrian-oriented, restricted-access area, guests can drive in and park on the premises—an extremely valuable and almost unique convenience in central Palermo. The rooms have the character of a traditional Sicilian palazzo, with impressively high ceilings of about 4–5 meters (13–16 feet). This creates a sense of space and preserves the atmosphere of an elegant early-20th-century residence. The owner is a charming older gentleman who makes every effort to care for his guests, often with a joke and distinctly Sicilian humor. His manner is authentically European—direct, witty, and refreshingly free of scripted smiles. American travelers may notice the cultural difference, but it is part of the property’s personality and charm. C’est la vie—and very pleasantly so! Breakfast was enjoyable, with fresh pastries and savory options. Overall, Palazzo Pantaleo offers historic character, tranquility, an unbeatable location, and the rare luxury of on-site parking. Highly recommended.
