Should You Book Desire'- Le Caprice?
Worth considering if you want an adult-only, quieter base in Palermo and you’re comfortable with a smaller guest-house setup. The 7.3/10 rating from 18 reviews suggests generally positive experiences, but it’s not a slam-dunk choice.
Best For
- Couples seeking a tranquil, adult-only stay while visiting major Palermo sights on foot
- Travelers who prefer a non-smoking environment and allergy-free room options
- Guests who like flexible, self-directed stays with shared kitchen and shared lounge/TV area
- Visitors planning day trips or airport transfers who want a central base near Palermo Cathedral, Fontana Pretoria, and Quattro Canti
Not Ideal For
- Travelers who need late or flexible check-in, since check-in is only available from 03:00 PM to 08:00 PM
- Anyone who strongly relies on fully private facilities, given the presence of shared kitchen and shared lounge/TV area
- Travelers looking for a highly reviewed property, since the guest rating is 7.3/10 based on a relatively small number of reviews (18)
What to Expect
Check in is scheduled within a defined window, so arriving and planning around the 03:00 PM to 08:00 PM timeframe will set the tone for a smooth start. The atmosphere is positioned as calm and adult-only, which should feel more relaxed than typical mixed accommodations. From the property, you can walk to key landmarks like Palermo Cathedral and Fontana Pretoria, with Quattro Canti also within easy reach. In the morning, the shared lounge/TV area and shared kitchen setup can make for a low-key routine before heading out to Palazzo dei Normanni and other nearby sights, aligning with the generally positive feedback reflected in the 7.3/10 score.
