“Quirky hotel in a prime Old Town location with some very fine artworks. Full of character, with old fashioned rooms filled with antique furniture and pretty stained glass. A sun terrace with a wonderful city view. The spa sits in genuine Roman baths. Well positioned, intimate, informal and romantic.”

Hotel review

You will either like the Palacio a lot, or you will find it too odd. Not content with being a 12-room five star in a fine situation it has a number of themes. There is a sort-of reconstruction of Monet’s Giverny kitchen, a genuine Roman bath in the basement, the focal point of a fitness centre and spa, and a coffee shop themed as Rick‘s (Casablanca) Café. Interesting ’state’ rooms with antiques and stained glass, the antithesis of the boutique hotel look. Some fine modern art (Miro, Calder) and other works rather less fine. Special attention has been paid to service recently. Rooms seem a little old-fashioned.
