What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Housed inside a centuries old former private palazzo, Casa Nostra Boutique Hotel offers the ideal base for exploring Palermo thanks to its central location in the heart of the city.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The stalls of Il Capo street market begin just outside, and Teatro Massimo is a short stroll away.
The rooms
Clean, minimalist rooms overlook the old town, and select suites add private rooftop terraces with outdoor Jacuzzis.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor plunge pool sits against ivy-covered palazzo walls, beside a heated Jacuzzi tucked into the garden.
Gym and massage
In-room massages and aesthetic treatments are arranged via reception, paired with on-call hairdresser services.
At the table
Casa Nostra Bistrot serves Sicilian dishes from land and sea. Mornings begin with spreads of fresh fruit and regional pastries.
How it began
The building dates to the early nineteenth century as Palazzo Bulè, a private residence restored for guests in 2019.
