The Massimo Theatre, Palermo Cathedral, and Palazzo dei Normanni are all within walking distance, as well as Via Liberta and Via Roma, known as the city's best shopping areas. The rustic guestrooms are decorated in bright colours and soundproofed for a good night's rest, to ensure you are energised for a day of exploring this exotic destination.
