    Excellent few days in a charming hotel

    rating11 Apr 2026

    The Principe is a well-situated boutique hotel (32 rooms) with minimalist inspiration but extraordinary staff. From Monica on Front Desk to the Breakfast Room ladies, from the room cleaners to the male maintenance operatives, one couldn't wish for a more friendly and welcoming group of people. The downstairs sitting area is pleasant and can even boast its own small library. The shower is tip top, the ceilings are high, the neighbourhood safe and quiet and the only thing we would have appreciated - given the minimalism - was more space to place our clothes! Otherwise, an excellent stay! Giulia Briguglia, Altro at Hotel Principe di Villafranca, responded to this review Dear Guest,thank you for this wonderful review — what a pleasure to read, and what a kind portrait of our team. Monica and all the colleagues you mentioned will be delighted to hear your words, and we will make sure they do.You have captured the spirit of the Principe di Villafranca beautifully — the minimalist design, the high ceilings, the quiet neighbourhood and the warmth of the people who bring it all to life. We take note of your observation about storage space and we very much hope to welcome you back soon.Giulia BrigugliaSales Manager — Hotel Principe di Villafranca

    It would be hard to beat this hotel for what it has to offer for a great price. Just loved it!

    rating10 Feb 2026

    We just finished a one week stay at this amazing hotel. The lobby was very modern adorned with beautiful wall art and antique furniture. The room we had was modern, very clean and quiet through the night. The bed and linens were some of the best we ever experienced. The mattress was incredibly comfortable. Good sized shower with rain head, great water pressure and very nice towels. The breakfast was very good with lots of fresh fruits, breads, pastries, assorted cold cuts, hard boiled as well as hot scrambled eggs with bacon. The staff also provided freshly made coffees and were on top of keeping the food well supplied. Just excellent all the way. My only suggestion would be that they could have signage to be respectful of other diners and no cell phone conversations. We experienced a group of people that acted as if they were the only ones there. It spoiled our experience that day. We had to ask them to consider the other diners. Giulia Briguglia, Altro at Hotel Principe di Villafranca, responded to this review Dear Guest,thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and enthusiastic review. We are truly delighted to read that you loved your week-long stay with us and that you felt our hotel offered great value for the experience.We are very happy that you appreciated our characterful lobby, as well as the comfort and quietness of your room. It is especially rewarding to know that the bed, mattress and linens stood out as some of the best you have ever experienced — restful sleep is something we care deeply about. We’re also glad you enjoyed the shower, water pressure and towels, details that often make a big difference in overall comfort.Thank you for your kind words about breakfast: we are pleased that the variety, freshness of the products and the attentiveness of our team, from replenishing the buffet to preparing freshly made coffees, contributed positively to your mornings.We sincerely apologize for the behaviour of other guests during breakfast and for the discomfort this caused you. Your comment is absolutely understood, and we truly appreciate your suggestion. We will certainly keep it in mind and reflect on how to better encourage a respectful and relaxed atmosphere for all our guests.Once again, thank you for your wonderful feedback and for choosing to stay with us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future for another excellent stay.Warm regards,Giulia BrigugliaSales Manager

    Perfection

    rating16 Jan 2026

    We stayed at this wonderful establishment for five nights and we loved the experience. The reception was warm and courteous; she provided all the dining and sightseeing needs in the proximity of the hotel, which we had great dining experiences based on her suggestion. Our junior suite is spacious and house keeping did an immaculate job during our stay. The hotel is situated within walking distance of almost all major attraction, which is really convenient. The breakfast at the lobby lounge is great and service is attentive. Highest compliment to the management of premises which made our stay in Palermo memorable.

    Nice hotel in a great location

    rating16 Oct 2025

    This hotel is a very nice hotel in a great location. Staff was excellent and very accommodating. Good restaurant recommendations. Walking distance to main thoroughfare in Palermo along with most restaurants, the market, opera house and marina. No onsite restaurant but excellent complimentary daily breakfast. Location was very quiet. Fitness room was available but we did not use it. Room was spacious and clean. Overall very happy with this hotel and would definitely recommend.
