Sicily - a family friendly hotel, Palermo

Hotel Villaggio Torre Normanna, Altavilla Milicia

This hotel in Palermo is part of a new development overlooking one of Sicily's sun-soaked beaches. If the blue seas outside the complex don't tempt you, you have the choice of two large pools to swim in. A family friendly hotel, one of these pools is for the use of children only. Parents also might like to take advantage of the babysitting facilities, which are available on request.

The six suites, and most of the 137 rooms in the Hotel Villaggio Torre Normanna, have a sea view and all have en-suite bathroom, air conditioning, telephone and satellite TV. The hotel has an impressive number of facilities: there's an American bar, a piano bar, restaurant and lounge areas, as well as a grand terrace and shops. Sporty types can take their pick from a vast number of activities including mini-golf, volleyball, football, gymnastics and archery. If that isn't enough there are also five tennis courts in the resort that guests can use.

The front desk at this Palermo hotel is open 24 hours, and friendly staff will be able to help you organise any sightseeing excursions into the city or other tourist destinations and transportation to the airport. This is the perfect spot for those looking for a relaxing and fun-filled holiday: as well as the stunning beach outside the hotel there are a number of natural bays along the coast which are within easy reach for exploration.
