"Palermo’s lovely Palazzo Natoli bears the name of the 18th-century marquis for whom it was built, as well as that of the famous novelist who came later in the family line. 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, along the Via Vittorio Emanuele. In its present incarnation, however, it’s a surprisingly contemporary and satisfyingly luxurious boutique hotel, its interiors designed in that inimitably Italian contemporary-meets-classic manner." - Tablet Hotels
