Torre Artale Hotel & Residence  

On Sicily’s northern coast in the friendly village of Trabia, minutes from Palermo. Close to Villa Giulia, the Palermo Botanical Garden and Piazza della Kalsa, and about 2 km from the seaside hamlet of S. Nicola l'Arena with a private sandy beach. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, it’s a convenient base for both beach days and city sights.

A renovated 18th‑century property done in a traditional Sicilian style with 68 air‑conditioned rooms. Expect classic touches, a panoramic restaurant terrace and the Marquise’s gardens dotted with olive and lemon trees. Rooms include satellite TV, direct‑dial phone and a mini‑bar, with 24‑hour reception and practical services like laundry and parking.

Big draw: an Olympic‑sized pool plus outdoor pool and a private sandy beach a short stroll away. Active guests get tennis, volleyball, mini‑golf and bowling; families will like the kids’ club and playroom. There’s a sauna, library, bar and TV lounge—perfect for sea‑breeze mornings and relaxed evenings in the gardens.

A spacious congress hall and conference facilities serve meetings and events. Wi‑Fi is available on the property, and the hotel offers parking and transfer assistance for groups.

On‑site dining includes a panoramic restaurant and a café, plus a charming bar tucked into the garden. Menus lean local—think Sicilian flavors—paired with terrace views for warm summer nights.
