  : Very lovely and spacious rooms, top quality bathroom, furniture, and a comfortable bed. The location is excellent being central for the old town. This is a beautiful old palazzo well converted for hotel accommodation. The staff were very helpful and responsive to requests.
  : The breakfast is fine but is more 3* - no hot food is provided, just a buffet of bread, cakes, and fruit etc.

  : What you see on the website is exactly what you get plus a bit more! Upon approach to the Palace there was absolutley no doubt in where we were heading. We were met by a member of the staff at the front door and from there on in, our experience simply got better. The concept of staying in a 'palace' became a reality once walking through the front door. Everything about the palace says opulence, welcome and enjoy. We chose a room with a balcony and a view over the canal plus the option for people watching. High ceilings with our own ceiling fresco added to the experience. Breakfast was outstanding. Everything in Scicli is within easy walking distance and the restaurant choice is outstanding.
  : Nothing to add.

  : Staff were very accomodating to our request to have breakfast to take away as we needed to leave very early for our flight. The room and building interior was stunning.
  : The communication prior to arriving. This accomodation has NO on-site reception. I had been communicating through booking.com and so It was a surprise to me that there was no reception and instead was contacted via whats app which I missed due to no internet - not all tourists will have internet. They whats app you telling you to call them when you arrive and then someone from the satellite office comes to meet you. We didnt know this and were sat outside the accomodation for over 2 hours as its impossible to get in without a swipe card. The building looks like its shut down and I actually dont even recall there being a sign above to make it clear it is the palace!!! Really poor start to our trip and wasted our time.

  : The Palazzo is a modern type accommodation housed within a refurbished Palazzo. It is managed by a central agency that looks after multiple properties in Scicli. It was easy to find and there was free parking nearby. Staff came and met us at the property after a short wait. The rooms are large and airy but somewhat sparsely appointed. The bathroom was excellent with a large shower. The staff were very helpful and allowed us to stay longer in the formal dining room after we had checked out. The wifi worked well and we were able to stream live television from abroad. Perhaps the highlight was the breakfast which is served in a lovely little cafe housed in the lower floor. The food was amazing and plentiful and the cafe staff were lovely!
  : There were no glasses or other eating utensils in the room, nor any coffee facilities. We had to ask staff to bring some wine glasses from another property. There is no lift access to the upper floors which makes suitcases difficult. This is not really like staying in a real palazzo - very good accommodation but set your expectations realistically.
