The owners of this hotel have opted for original features and old-fashioned charm over ultra-modern minimalism. Six high-ceilinged rooms all come with private balconies, and the rooftop jacuzzi provides a further suntrap. So far, so Palermo, but what marks this out from the rest is its wine bar and cellar, an atmospheric setting for sampling local and international wine, including often under-appreciated smaller bodegas. And if you overdo it on the grapes, soak up the hangover with a proper fry-up for breakfast the next morning.
