Villa del Gattopardo Suites & Spa in Palermo

Located in a private gated location . With your key is a fob for opening the gate to the hotel and parking . It is a small hotel about 12 rooms . Check in was slow because they couldn’t find our reservations , but eventually , after a phone call to the tour operator we got our Keys. The room was large with nice furniture , the bed was comfortable . The bathrooms nice size with good shower . The hotel was a former residence and built in a quad with a small plaza with a few tables and umbrellas . It was cute and had a restaurant on the property . The drive to the center of Palermo was easy and the huge parking lot reasonable . There are a few restaurants within walking distance to,the hotel and the beach boardwalk is just a few miles away . The breakfast was typical small hotel fare ,,just the average continental type with croissants and cappuccino. The staff was friendly. There was another hotel just adjacent to ours that was very private. I have no idea what it was but we wandered onto the property and took a few pictures when we were approached by security and demanded we erase our pics from our phones on the spot .
