Single mum traveller with 3 children. Lovely property in the centre very if the town. The accommodation is on the 2nd floor but there is a lift. We stayed in a large room with double bed and 2 singles. Very clean accommodation. Beds are comfortable and shower is great. WiFi is good. Air conditioning is good. Mauro is a great host and really knowledgeable and helpful about where to visit in Sicily. The breakfast was great, plenty of variety and fresh pastries and local foods, fresh juices and coffee and cereal and fruit. The airport bus stops at the top of the street. Everything in Palermo was walking distance. Lots of local buses around town and to Mondello beach which was worth a visit. Tourist bus stop is only a few metres from the property and will take you around Palermo, which was great for seeing the city, especially in the heat with children! Central train station is approx 30 minutes walk away. We got the train to Cefalu in under an hour. There are lots of bars and restaurants beside the property but the room in the property was very sound proof. I highly recommend staying at the B&B.

Central (but quiet!), attention to detail (e.g. an array of books about Sicily displayed in the entrance hall), tastefully and attractively decorated (e.g. historic maps and b&w photos of old Sicily and a piano 🎹 in the passage) and a first-class breakfast (with the option of having it at the cafe downstairs if you want to get going early!). Owner/manager Mauro - responsive and generous in sharing fascinating facts, stories and recommendations - has created a wonderful haven in the noise and chaos of beautiful Palermo!

Great A.C and the bed was firm which I like so very comfortable. Lovely decor, everything was clean, and there was complimentary chilled water. Mauro is a gentleman and the place is secure.

Only complaint is the private bathroom not being attached to the room and some awkward. For room 2, you would have to cross the hallway which leads to room 1 to reach your bathroom. Also although it was correctly inputted into Booking.com on his end, my confirmation email had the wrong check out time so be wary of that it's 10am which is reasonable

Loved to have Mauro present every morning during breakfast.It was wonderful to be able to ask questions and chat with a nice, knowledgeable and helpful person! I am so over the self check-in where you only communicate by phone. Breakfast was tasty, varied and plenty. Having the option to take the elevator was very much appreciate by these two 70 year old seniors. We had the family room which was spacious and also had a ceiling fan, besides air conditioning. The bnb is located in a pedestrian area with plenty restaurants and bars to choose from. No noise during the night, slept well.

Did not stay long enough. Should have stayed a week instead of 3 days. The only thing that could be improved on is the breakfast area. It is a little too cosy and gets a bit warm...but did not stop us from enjoying our breakfast

Perfect location close to the port and to all the areas of interest. Mauro made my stay as a solo traveler very special. Nowadays, it’s easy to find accommodation, but difficult to find hosts that take great care in giving you advice on places to visit, good cafés and restaurants, transportation and provide breakfast. He cares about the guests’ needs, is always available and has extensive knowledge about Palermo. I was very pleased with my room, as it was quiet, clean and everything was in working order and very happy with my breakfast too. I highly recommend this B&B and will definitely be back next time I am in Palermo.

With not many reviews but highly rated, I decided to take a chance on it. I am so happy I did. This B&B is a gem. As a solo, female, late 70s traveler, I appreciated the safety aspect Mauro, owner/manager, has provided. Simple but tasteful, clean, and quiet while located in a vibrant part of the city, it has everything you could ask for. Mauro, friendly and helpful, is a wealth of information about Palermo and its history. This has been a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it and would give 5 diamonds, not just stars.

Perfect location easy to access from the airport and to get to many of the historical buildings and locations in the city. Very clean and comfortable room with everything you need. Mauro was very friendly and so helpful guiding through the map telling me lots of useful information, made my stay so much more enjoyable! Also gave me wonderful restaurant recommendations!

Everything was perfect thank you!

Mauro was a wonderful host running the hotel. Friendly and helpful and always ready to answer questions and provide knowledgable local information to make the visit more fun and stress free. There was clearly a lot of thought and care put into the rooms, breakfast and other considerations around the hotel. Great books, interesting furniture and decorations. Would definitely recommend this place and stay again.

Staying at this beautiful place was such a nice experience. Mauro and his staff are very kind. Everything is well organised and same time relaxed, which made us feel very welcome. At our arrival Mauro kindly explained about the city in a clear way, thus it was easy for us to make the most of our days in Palermo. Thank you Mauro!

Excellent location . Mauro was very friendly and also very knowledgeable about Palermo.He was happy to give us ideas and some history info on places to visit. The shower was very good

The bed was quite old , soft and bumpy but the room was large and clean although a little dated. I appreciate it’s an historic building but the furnishings were quite eclectic
