Hotel Principe di Villafranca

  • Price range: $$$$
  • Location: Palermo

Fodor's Review:

Fine Sicilian antiques, imperial striped silks, creamy marble floors, and vaulted ceilings evoke a luxurious private home in the heart of Palermo's glitzy shopping district. It's easy to get comfortable in the understated surroundings: relax in the library with an aperitif or savor an authentic meal in the rustic Hippopotamus, which drizzles some of its dishes with a sublime, homemade balsamic vinegar. Rooms are elegant, with fine linens and more antiques. Ask for a room facing the quieter street side. Pros: Helpful staff, well-maintained building, safe neighborhood. Cons: Breakable knickknacks make it not suitable for small children, bathrooms are on the small side.
