Santa Maria Vacation Packages

Beautiful centuries-old ceilings in modern spacious rooms. The newly renovated rooms and common area are clean, bright and cool. Centrally located next to main roads and tourist neighbourhood - this is a great stay in Palermo. Valentina and Michelle were very helpful with check-in, valet parking coordination and restaurant recos. We opted for breakfast which was provided in a new nearby cafe. You can walk to the famous Via Emanuelle for evening strolls amongst the nightlife, or explore nearby chapels and markets in the day. The famous cannoli monestary is about 25 metres away on the same street.

The staff was amazing and very helpful. They moved our room after our first night because the people in the room above us were so loud we could hear everything. The rooms are nice but have some drawbacks: in order to have your windows open to get fresh air at night, the room is flooded with all the uplighting surrounding the hotel. The windows have wooden shutters inside which means in order to block out the light, you must close the windows and then close the wooden shutters. Either turn off the floodlights at night or provide some curtains. The walls are also very thin and you can hear everything in the room next to you. We couldn’t get any of the TV apps to work so only had access to Italian TV. Did a fun (but very long) cooking class. The pool area is interesting but not inviting. It’s in a corner in the main area of the courtyard and faces 2 walls so there is no view. Also not very private. There is no lobby bar or any soft seating to relax anywhere. There is also not a set restaurant at the hotel - you have to do a cooking class or a private chef cooking for you (which would be nice but it’s in the cooking class/breakfast room so you have to experience it while a class is going on beside you). It’s a very pretty hotel but not really designed for the best experience for guests.

The resort is extremely well maintained with staff who go above and beyond to make your stay welcoming and comfortable. The room was amazing with private pool, great view of temple of gods and comfortable bed with AC. Dinner was enjoyable and the grounds are clean with several fruit, olive, carob, pistachio trees growing everywhere. Definitely recommended this hotel.

Very clean! Staff very helpful and friendly! Personally i didn’t enjoy the area around, although there are a lot of restaurants in walking distance. We had an issue with the AC but staff did try their best and gave us a fan in the room. If you looking for a clean and quiet place in this area, this hotel is an excellent choice!
