The Principe di Villafranca is an excellent hotel choice in Palermo. It is modern, conveniently located, and extremely well run. I must single out front-desk hostess Monica for particular praise. She is highly knowledgeable about sights and museums, and she spends as much time as needed with maps, directions, and neighborhood restaurant suggestions (which were wonderful). She is fluent in...

We had an extremely enjoyable stay at this hotel, experiencing high standards of both accommodation and service. We liked the light, modern decor complete with interesting 'legs' artwork, the contemporary fittings in the room and bathroom, and the firm mattress with fresh pillows and quality cotton bedding. We were treated to a larger room with a bath at no extra... More

We stayed three nights at Hotel Principe di Villafranca in Palermo and greatly benefited from the very comfortable and quiet room, the best bed we'd slept in in all of Sicily, pleasant, helpful staff, a breakfast in the morning that was better than adequate and included fresh fruit and cereals along with a nice assortment of sweet rolls, cakes and...

Newer and safe part of Palermo within walking distance to good quality restaurants. Cozy reading area with access to WIFI.

Certainly this hotel seems to be in a nice part of Palermo - try the fantastic cafe (cakes and biscotti) just a few yards from the entrance (turn right). Helpful, friendly staff. An amusingly idiosyncratic lift - try it if you dare. Comfy bed and ample choice at breakfast. More

We arrived at the Villafranca to join a Jolly Sicily Tour; check-in easy as the tour guide had made all the arrangements. Sitting rooms and lobby create pleasant atmosphere; room was spacious; bed very firm which is to our liking. Excellent location minutes to main shopping area along Via della Liberta, fabulous restaurants, and piazzas. Staff was wonderful; cheery, and... More

Good base in otherwise unspectacular city, few minutes from the centre. Charming hotel with atmosphere, nice decoration and decent breakfast. Probably the only complain - our room was too small and they have some problems with free wifi connection which is (or should be) available in the lobby area. I would recommned this hotel if you really must to go... More

Having arrived at the hotel, it was better than we could have expected. The whole place seems to have undergone a renovation, and was a perfect blend of rustic and contemporary designs. The breakfast was probably the best we've ever had in a hotel, and the location was great - a quiet side street but only a few minutes from... More
