Artisan Maison

The property was quirky and obviously under development. The quirkiness was quite nice, and the owner provided breakfast to order himself. We needed a transfer to the airport on the last day, this was facilitated for us, and the owner offered to prepare breakfast especially early in the circumstances. The one problem was the shower door was missing (due to an accident with a previous client), and this was directly open to the room. In the circumstances and due to my size, this was quite awkward for me.

A wonderful place to stay in the heart of Palermo, walking distance to the old city with plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby

Slightly quirky rooms, that were super nice with fresh and well done finishes. The girl that did check-in was super friendly and helpful and made me breakfast to take to my room for the next day due to being an early check-out prior to normal breakfast times. The room was very comfortable and modern, with an arty twist. Easy enough to find and access in what felt to be a safe location. I had a super good last nights sleep in Sicily here before heading to the airport. Parking was a challenge due to it being a bigger city. There are some close paid parking lots, but some of them charged extortionate fees and wouldn't negotiate down from a full 24 hour day rate to less hours for overnight. I ended up finding free parking on the street about a 6 minute walk away which was convenient enough. Around a 10-15 minute walk down to an area of restaurants and bars, or to the main Cathedrals and other signs of Palermo. I would really recommend this hotel - I loved it's quirky edge, and the terrace looked lovely to sit on for breakfast if I had been around. There is also a cool cat Nikola and the staff were super friend and helpful!

This place is magical and beautiful. I loved my stay here and to say all of this is an understatement. The breakfast is exceptionally good! The eggs that the staff and owner make are so good. Niccolino, their cat, is a sweetie and makes the space feel warmer. Our room was absolutely beautiful and clean! The bed was comfortable and we also had AC in the room. Maurizio and his staff were so kind to us and gave us tips on how to arrive, depart, where to eat and go all around Palermo. I am already planning to come back soon. I am hoping to stay in a different room next time since they’re all themed. If you love architecture, art, design and Italian charm, stay here. This is not a resort and so you have to also help care for the space. Places like this are rare so I hope it continues to be available for decades to come.
