Villa del Gattopardo Suites & Spa

Hotel located somewhat out of town with little ‘neighbourhood’ to speak of - need transportation to go anywhere. A slightly complicated system of remote control arrival gates to get in/out. Extensive gardens are newly developed with a feature water fountain but core villa building is historic. Re-modeled rooms lack light and layout is fit around old building structure, with tight bathroom facilities. Bed linen is elaborate vintage with crochet and handmade embroidery. Comprehensive breakfast in classic dining room and a ‘to-go’ box when needed for early checkout. Staff were very helpful.

This property is lovely with beautiful gardens and incredible antique furniture. Our room was huge and impeccably decorated. The coffee machines made excellent espresso, which we drank out of delicate porcelain cups. The air conditioning worked so well, critical given the heat/humidity even in late September. Breakfast was divine. There was a selection of amazing pastries and cakes, freshly made (I highly recommended the bombolini and the pistachio layer cake with lemon pastry cream) as well as yogurt and cereal with toppings, fresh fruit, and a savory station with scrambled eggs, frittatas, ham and cheese fried sandwiches and a selection of the amazing local cheese and salamis. The staff will make a coffee to your specifications and you can enjoy it inside the charming dining room or outside in the beautiful gardens. The spa was delightful, with a very lovely pool and steam room, and we enjoyed our spa services. There are two restaurants next door/attached - a sushi restaurant and a hopping pizza restaurant. The hotel staff were very helpful, and there is a free shuttle in the morning. Mondello beach is worth a trip! Be aware you will have to pay for a taxi to take you back, most locations around seemed to be about 30 euros. Overall, we really loved the villa and the east location. It was gorgeous and I would stay here again.

Very beautiful and stylish interior, spacious rooms , great spa ( swimming pool and steam) and excellent massage, very friendly staff . Good location not far from Palermo , beautiful and well maintained gardens. Secure parking, 2 restaurants( fine and pizzeria ) in 50 meters from hotel.

From the moment we arrived we knew we had made a BIG mistake! The staff were too busy to help us. The room was OK, we were put above an empty conference room, the place was empty. They advertised a spa, but were told when we arrived that we couldn’t use unless we booked in advance. The breakfast was a depressing affair with other diners there that were equally unimpressed with the selection of food. In fact, there was hardly any good available. The orange juice was out of a packet! Crazy, when there are so many oranges growing in the area. I would not recommend you stay here. It’s also in the middle of nowhere.

The villa is beautiful and we felt very safe while at the villa. You need to take a taxi to get into the city for shopping and sightseeing. There is a restaurant on the premises, and the breakfast was superb!! The staff is so friendly and attentive. We enjoyed staying at this lovely villa and walking through the garden.

This is a beautiful, historic home with modern amenities. Staying here was one of the highlights of a very enjoyable trip to Sicily. The breakfast is well worth it, too. The neighborhood is safe, although its appearance belies the beauty that lies beyond the gates of the Villa Gattopardo. It's like entering another century and world. The staff is very welcoming and professional. Highly recommended!! My only caution is that this is not the place for children under the age of 14 due to all of the beautiful antiques.

The staff was incredibly helpful and kind

The location was super peaceful, but a very quick cab ride into downtown, the team was amazing helpful, and the room was very comfortable. There is construction work being done on the main villa, which will be incredible when completed. And the pizzeria next door is outstanding - truly a must try.

Just beautiful!
