While in Palermo, Sicily in February 2024, I was fortunate to spend three nights at a guesthouse on a quiet side street in the historical part of the city. Owned by the gracious and welcoming Rosa di Stefano, Palazzo del Poeta (Poet’s Palace) has been completely restored over a six-year period. Comfortable and luxurious, it felt like I had my very own Sicilian palace, complete with beautiful art, scrumptious breakfast including Sicilian pastries and a lending library. If you want to treat yourself this is the place to do it. Prices start under $200 and include breakfast and other perks
