An antique building just renovated and transformed in a beautiful hotel palace with very large room, impressively high ceiling (4 m or more) beautifull marble stairs or pavements... Very confortable beds , cleanness of the bathroom! The overall central position and quite environment

Unfortunately the breakfast -included in the price of the room - was not at the level one would expect in such a category! Indeed croissants and cakes, but industrial bread, lowest quality mozarella and sausage, and powder tang-like orange drink served in plastic glass... a real paradox in Sicily, where if not fresh orange spremute, at least decent orange juice should be served !

The location is on the border of the historic city so walking to places to visit and eat was very easy. The rooms are very spacious. The host was very gracious and had a lot of information for us. The location is more quiet since it’s next to a park and some other residential buildings. Don’t need to worry about tourist or night life keeping you awake. Breakaast in the bistro downstairs offered good choices. Staff at the bistro were very friendly.

Rooms are sparse in appointments. If you want coffee, shampoo, etc., you’ll need to supply that yourself. The rooms were very spacious but lack of appointments kind of gave it a warehouse feel, large rooms with not much in them.

A masterpiece – pure passion turned into perfection Wow. This place is incredibly stylish and full of character. In the hallway, you'll find photos of the original, crumbling building – and it’s almost impossible to believe it’s been transformed into this absolute gem. Only someone with true passion, dedication, and a deep understanding of taste and architecture would dare to take on such a project. The result is stunning: soaring 6-meter-high ceilings, original wooden beams beautifully exposed, and old doors creatively turned into side tables. Every detail has been carefully considered. The owner is just as remarkable – kind, helpful, and clearly devoted to making every guest feel at home. The location is fantastic too – just a few hundred meters from Palermo’s shopping district. But don’t get stuck there! Palermo has so much more to offer, so make sure you explore this fascinating city. Honestly, I didn’t want to write this review… because I’d love to keep this place a secret. We’re absolutely in love.

It's next to a busy road but it was way quieter than I thought, I had no problems sleeping (with the window closed). The staff was super nice and the receptionist told us everything about Palermo. The room was very modern with a touch of antique. The breakfast was a nice Italian style buffet breakfast, with cakes and some savoury options and good coffee. The building had a super modern big lift.

The sea view room had only a bit of sea view, when I went out to the loud balcony. But the view otherwise was quite nice, looking at a very pretty tall mountain.

It is a beautiful building, modernised and well decorated inside. We had 3 rooms between family and all was good. The staff were very, very helpful - not just while we were there, but beforehand in the lead-up to our stay, they gave so much helpful advice and information via WhatsApp, as well as recommendations that helped us organise our wedding and our stay in Palermo. We also had a rental car and used the garage Parcheggi Maggio who give an excellent and very professional service conveniently just around the corner from the Boutique BnB Dolcevita. Thank you so much to all the nice staff for making our stay so comfortable and unforgettable!

Location is quite near to the main tourist zone. We used bus for half of the walking distance from the train station, and then walked 7 min to the building, so travel time was 15 min in total. Reaching main landmarks is simple by walking and the buildings are very nice everywhere along your way. If you plan day trips, the train stations is 25 min walk that is still not too much. The accommodation is very modern, looks newly renovated building. All zones are very clean (corridors, rooms, stairways, breakfast room). Modern room with comfy beds and proper AC. Breakfast is great, many options, satisfying for most travellers. Staff is friendly and helpful.

The green park around the building was conquered by homeless ppl who were pretty harmless but it disturbs the view from the balconies in some direction. Parking is a nightmare, so in case you rent a car, I would propose to book overnight stays at your destination cities/villages. Parking lots are a bit messy. Look for the ZTL signs on the streets and avoid them because without a permission you easily get a fine. Parking on street is only possible in placed marked by blue lines (might be faded very much). It is better to buy scratch tickets in nearby cigarette+newspaper shops that are valid for hour each. Parking application is recommended only if you are 100% sure about your parking zone code as it has no GPS integration.

Lovely people, good location for the old town, lovingly restored charming building, lovely fresh breakfast and great coffee. Big family room with nice views across the city and mountains, very helpful What's Ap line that was great for booking taxis etc.

Whilst the communal areas were really nice, the room itself was generically furnished and pretty basic. No safe, no tea/coffee facilities (although can use kettle in breakfast room), random light switches all over the place, internal bathroom so bit mouldy etc. Just wish the bedroom matched the rest of the building.

Location: Very good, central location. Close to the harbour and a short walk to the main sights. Walking distance to many excellent bars and restaurants. Room: Romantic Suite with Balcony and Sea View was very spacious and comfortable. Excellent water pressure in the shower. Room is well sound-proofed and we had no problems getting a good night's sleep. Service: Excellent, professional service throughout our stay. We enjoyed speaking with the owner who shared some very good recommendations for places to visit. Breakfast: A good selection of sweet and savoury items available each morning. Overall: We really enjoyed our stay. This B&B offers excellent value for money due to the size of the rooms and the central location.

Everything. I initially picked this BnB as it had the highest rating (still have!) in Palermo and is very close (10-15 mins) to the old town. I stayed seven nights there and my belly didn't feel well most days but the hotel owner, Eugenio, and his daughter, Federica, always goes beyond and above to help, making me feel safe and looked after in a foreign country when travelling alone! Eugenio said to me once, ' Please just ask if you need anything!', and my stay with them proved that he really means it. The whole family does everything from the bottom of their heart! I eventually got to taste their coffee on the last morning of my stay when my belly felt normal again, and it was sooo good! Thank you very much for everything and the generosity!! ❤️🥰🤗 P.S. They also helped me book a taxi to the airport. It was so spacious as it's a Mercedes-Benz and almost 30% cheaper than getting a taxi by myself upon my arrival in Palermo to their BnB! Peony

The hotel is in a beautiful old building that the owners have done a fantastic restoration job on - our room was huge, bright and airy. Hosts were excellent, breakfast was fine - all in all, we liked the place a lot. Very conveniently situated for a stroll into the old town which is where most of the action is in central Palermo. Yes, it's next to a busy roundabout and a rather scruffy park but don't let that put you off - recommended!!

I think the only additional thing that would have been helpful is a safe in the room but that isn't essential.
