"The location is very central to the historic center so most of the historic attractions are with a fifteen minute walk, as are the train and bus terminals to go to other cities. Do keep in mind that this building requires you to carry your luggage up stairs so not a good choice if you pack heavy and will struggle taking heavy bags up two or three floors of stairs."

"Clean, neat and in a residential area so taxis were not close to the B&B, but the onsite manager was superior in her directions and recommendations for both bus and train access. Air-conditioning was excellent, water pressure in shower was excellent the room even across the street for a church bell site was sound proofed. Breakfast in a breakfast room was well appointed and the food was good - the on-site manager made cappuccinos every morning. Without doubt, when next we visit Palermo, this will be the B& B that we stay in,"
