The B&B is very nice and super clean. The rooms also felt very private, and has a nice balcony to see life in Palermo. The area is centrally located, but still a lot of local life around. Emmanuele is an amazing host, with tons of information, great communication before/during your stay, and great breakfast to boot! It's a peaceful little oasis in a very hectic city.

The B&B is in an absolutely perfect location for exploring Palermo and is just off from the pedestrian street and near the four corners. A superb host making sure my stay was ok and providing plenty of local information.||||A clean and comfortable room and very good tasty breakfast too. ||||A great stay and would definitely look there first if visiting Palermo.
