Fodor's Expert Review Palazzo Pantaleo

Accessed from a quiet courtyard situated between Palermo's two great theaters, with large, airy rooms and a charming host, this top-floor apartment is part of a beautifully renovated palazzo dating from the mid-19th century. Everything is clean and tidy, the bright, high-ceilinged guest rooms are well-equipped (including mini-refrigerators), and the bathrooms are spacious. Generous buffet breakfasts of pastries, cannoli, hams and cheeses, and fresh orange juice are served in a conservatory area. There's an elevator, too.
