Your private driver will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel set in the heart of Palermo. During your two night stay, we’ll recommend the best places to enjoy traditional Sicilian dishes and sweet treats like cannoli.

Explore iconic sites like Quattro Canti and Teatro Massimo with an expert guide.
