The house
Natoli GroupRestored aristocratic palazzo

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
History, it goes without saying, seeps from every corner of this magnificent house, and indeed from the whole of the neighborhood, close to the cathedral.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Palermo Cathedral and the baroque crossroads of Quattro Canti are a short stroll down Via Vittorio Emanuele.
The rooms
Rooms in the main palazzo have high ceilings and tailored Italian furniture, buffered from the busy city streets.
At the table
Lucite chairs face a rustic tufa stone bar, where organic breakfast spreads give way to evening craft beers.
How it began
A Bourbon high-court judge commissioned the palace in 1765, and his family line later produced Sicilian novelist Luigi Natoli.
