We stayed at the B&B for one week and can agree with many of the other reviews. The villa was charming, the garden around the buildings and pool is very green and inviting. The pool was a big plus, especially since it was really hot in August. The whole area is like a little oasis, with a beautiful ocean view. The room hat good air conditioning which was important because it was over 30 degrees every day. The staff were friendly and spoke enough English that we could communicate (as we only speak German and English, not Italian). The proximity to Mondello beach was good- we took the bus there easily. We also took the bus into Palermo center and did a day trip to Cefalu.

The area was quite run down and the villa behind the metal gates is clearly the nicest property in the area. We still ate dinner at the restaurants in Aranella and enjoyed some really good seafood. The area had almost 0 tourists, even in the high season, so as a non-Italian it was a bit intimidating. The town was full of trash and was run down. The beach was also full of trash and stray cats, so we didn’t spend much time on the Aranella beach. We tried to rely on the local busses as much as possible, but they came very irregularly so sometimes we were waiting for almost an hour. Also, as soon as it was dark out the busses seemed to stop running so it was best to get dinner in the town of the B&B or else rely on overpriced taxis and drivers which rip you off.

An old villa, in an romantic fashioned italian style, directly located at the sea. A very good place to calm down, enjoy the sun at the pool or the sea, reading in the garden or going to Palermo/Mondello by public transport. The area isn’t as bad as described in other reviews — there are some restaurants in the area & if you walk 20 minutes you can be in the city. The staff is very helpful, open & friendly. Totally recommend

Nothing really, but if there was something that could be done to even improve is to give bikes to the guests to get around.

It was very clean and Raju was very friendly and made us feel welcome. He was very accommodating and helpful. Very cute cat on site

The breakfast was very basic, not worked out bad for or paying for it. I didn’t realise where the car park is you have to come through a derelict area and didn’t feel safe at all , not pretty , not advertised properly.

Everything was good standard , staff is lovely and helpful. 20 min to city centre by local bus cost €1,40 . Rooms are spacious . Around 2 bakeries with delicious pastries and very good restaurant next to the port . Walking distance 10-15 min. Recommended be staff beautiful Mondello beach - by local bus 25-30min.

the staff were very helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. The room was very clean and comfortable, the breakfast was great lots to eat, ideal with having a pool and near the beach

the air conditioning didn’t blow cold enough

Very spacious, air-conditioned room in a luxurious villa with a really great pool. Friendly and effective host lady in charge! Very Italian breakfast (sweet), but large and tasty. Located in a picturesque neighborhood, little run down but not dangerous and pretty quiet in normal time.

Bad connection to the center of town: busses not dependable (especially in the evening they tend to get canceled). The villa is used for social gatherings that can get pretty loud with music and karaoke.

The hosts we're extremely nice to us, and provided everything we asked for. Especially the food at the location was really great, we could easily say that we didn't eat better in Palermo than at the hots. Seriously, they made us feel like part of the family. Big Thanks to Elena, Serena, Raju, Sayd.

We couldn't identify anything that we didn't like.

Truly outstanding service from Serena , who was so kind to all of us and went out of her way beyond the call of duty especially to find food for us as we arrived late evening on the Easter holiday - and arrived back with the most scrumptious Italian pizza ! The breakfasts were wonderful and showcased the warmth of Sicilian hospitality- again through the marvellous Serena who is a fantastic host.

Quiet and very comfortable hotel with so confusing location at first sight. But just right after you can find beautiful classic sicily style hotel with big pool and good location. We enjoyed local restaurants, bakery, coffee near the hotel.

little hard to communicate with staff in english.

The villa is great. My room was cool even in the warm weather. The sea is beautiful. The staff is very responsive.

It can be noisy in the evenings on weekends.
