Chiesa di Santa Oliva Tours

Fantastic staff; both front desk and restaurant

Beautiful boutique property with views of the rolling hills! We were traveling with two children and the suite was comfortable for us all. Smaller pool but perfect for cooling off. Breakfast was lovely!

We arrived to locked doors (for security) and when we were greeted she told us she wasn’t expecting anyone to check in. I showed our reservation and she apologized. We were given a different room than we booked, which had an upstairs, which is where the bathroom was, but not the bedroom. I specifically avoided booking this room type. I was then told our original room was not available and we would have to pay more to get another room type. Finally the settled and gave us the room on one floor. Our interactions with the staff were neither positive or negative, but neutral. It seemed we were a bother when we would engage. I didn’t like having to rattle the door every time we tried to come in. The location is good, not far from the market, and not far from the 4 corners. With the days being shorter in January, it was a bit uncomfortable waking some of the side streets in the dark. If I was to return to Palermo, I would consider staying here again, bit my preference would be to stay on one of the busy main streets, with the short dark days. Maybe longer sunny days would have felt different.
