About

Residenza Tarzana

Residenza Tarzana sits on Piazza Tarzana in the heart of Palermo, within easy reach of the city's historic lanes and the vibrant Castellammare Vucciria district. It's a 3-star property that leans on its location and attentive service rather than grand facilities, with a 9.2 guest rating across 375 reviews.

Rooms come in two configurations — Deluxe Double and Private Bathroom Double — both with city views, balconies, and climate control. The residence keeps things straightforward: 24-hour reception, luggage storage, a lift, and free parking, which is rare in a city centre. Staff score a standout 9.9, and the general service rating sits at 9.4.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is limited to 14:00–20:00. If you arrive outside those hours, you may need to arrange alternative timing — there's no 24-hour check-in.
  • Early check-out time — Check-out is at 10:00, which is earlier than many hotels. That gives you a short morning to pack up and leave.
  • Paid airport shuttle only — While there's a shuttle service to Falcone-Borsellino airport, it comes at a cost. Budget for the transfer if you're not driving.
  • Limited room variety — Only two room types are listed — Deluxe Double and Private Bathroom Double — so options for families or groups are restricted.
