We were looking for one of a kind and found it. Our stay in the water tower was like stepping back in time. If I had long hair I would have felt like Rapunzel. The tower sits in the corner of a lovely, quiet and protected courtyard. Like your own mini castle in the heart of the old city. And steps (literally) away from Casarro Alto Cathedral in the historic section of town. If your driving into town be prepared for super tight streets. Not for the light-hearted. Parking in gated parking lot was a big plus. You will need some stamina for all the steps in the winding staircase but worth it to reach the 6th floor private rooftop balcony with sunset views. Rooms are simply and thoughtfully decorated with very nice linens, good heating and cooling, hot shower with good water pressure. Host is a great communicator and always available to answer questions. I highly recommend this space for anyone visiting the historic part of Palermo. The location can’t be beat for restaurants, shopping and historic sights. We enjoyed it immensely.
