Loved by guests
"The big garden at the back has that all important quality of being slightly overgrown - with ripe grapefruit and fig trees."
"As we jostled our way through the chaotic Palermo food market under the blazing heat, we could not believe it when we opened the heavy wooden doors into the oasis of cool calm of the hotel."
"Even before we arrived the help that the girls at Il Giardino offered was invaluable; happy to arrange taxi collection from the airport, good information about the best rooms for our party and very timely with their replies, nothing seemed to be too much trouble."

It's a place that clearly appeals to those seeking authentic Sicilian charm and a peaceful city retreat. A find, indeed.”
