It was a rainy day on our entry, we parked our car at the gate and walked under rain and waited at the main gate for 10 minutes more until the receptionist opened the door. We were as wet as rats until welcomed to main building after a 100 meters more walking. Hotel is a fantastic old palace like building, architecture is breath taking, it gives a different sprit, however rooms are at base level with small windows, most probably which were servant rooms originally, not suitable to spend much time. Hotel is away from Palermo center, if you don't plan to use car, it will be very hard to manage your Palermo visit. Breakfast was excellent, the lady serving the breakfast was so friendly and so helpful. After spending 4 days in Palermo, I would say, Gattopardo was ok but we saw better alternatives in the city center with the same price range.

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.

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.

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.
