About

Palazzo Arone Dei Baroni Di Valentino

Palazzo Arone Dei Baroni Di Valentino is a 19th-century building on Via Vittorio Emanuele, one of Palermo's main thoroughfares. The interior retains original architectural details, with parquet floors and period touches, while guest rooms are modern and functional. The property is a guest house rather than a full-service hotel, with a concierge desk, luggage storage, and tour assistance available.

Breakfast is a highlight, with homemade yogurt, fruit, cakes, and jams served in a communal setting. The palazzo is a 16-minute walk from Orto Botanico and within easy reach of the Royal Palace and local markets. Private parking is available nearby, and the property is entirely smoke-free.
