My family, of seven including wife, son, brother and sister in-law, and niece and her husband, just spent the most enjoyable time with Paolo and his family at Vittorio Emanuele. We all collectively said this was the pinnacle of our vacation, and we just started 12 days in Sicily. Paolo was beyond accommodating. Our flights were delayed meaning a late arrival, and he checked in on us to ensure a smooth transition. Our luggage was lost and later found. He met the Airline delivery service while we were out on tour. He and his mother ensured we were well fed, as is typical of Italian families (being married to a Sicilian). The property is beautiful with many period restorations, including a fresco on the ceiling of our room (Matteo). Their location is central to many of the attractions in Palermo. You must stay at Vittorio Emanuele! You will not be disappointed.
