Fodor's Expert Review Nuss Hotel

Housed in a former convent on one of Palermo's most happening corners, the Nuss is a great option for those who want to be in the heart of the barrio's action. The 22 rooms are clustered around a Spanish-style open-air patio. All the rooms are bright and breezy, with large beds fitted with stylish leather headboards. The vast rooftop terrace has cozy lounge chairs and a small pool surrounded by dozens of trees that make for a natural oasis in the midst of the urban buzz.
