Location perfect, view from the balcony just incredible, easy checkin and correspondence, very warm welcome and a authentic elevator.

The airconditioning wasn’t working properly even when we put it on 16 degrees (!) and when we mentioned this they told us to close the stores and lights to keep it cool (6th floor). It was 44 degrees outside. Not really acceptable for the money we’ve paid sorry. Luckily we had a ventilator :) And the fridge was also not working - so forget about the cold drinks.

It was a delight to stay at Pietro’s B&B. We arrived amidst a spell of bad weather but Pietro welcomed us warmly. The building is historic and accommodations are on the 6th floor - but the views of Palermo and surrounding hills, more than compensates for climb. The unit was spacious and comes with wide windows, multiple balconies, comfortable beds and modern amenities. We even enjoyed the wall paintings in the unit. Finally the building is smack on Via Maqueda which is full of top rated eateries and a short walk from Quattro Canti. Thanks Pietro!

Nothing. It’s quite an experience riding the 100 year old elevator but I won’t complain!

We had the pleasure of staying in this unique building, occupying a wonderful big room, located on the 6th floor. Our hosts, Pietro and Vittorio, a charming father-son duo, provided exceptional hospitality and valuable insights into Palermo's hidden gems. The building's location is ideal, with all major attractions and activities within easy reach. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable experience in Palermo.

This establishment is the best I've stayed in since I started traveling. You'll find more than just a place to stay, you'll find a soul, a family. La maison del Sole is aptly named because its owner is a sun. I came just to sleep and had a more than incredible stay. This place is exceptional. The owner is an incredible, exceptional man. I can recommend this establishment a billion times over, because you won't just find a hotel here, you'll find a family. You'll experience a unique moment and taste what we call Italy from the heart. The Italy of love. The Italy of family. Thank you, my dear Pietro, you will always be in my heart. Thank you and your family for this exceptional moment. This timeless moment. The discovery of this inspiring and unique region. Thanks also to Rosalba who delighted my taste buds with her cooking and her love. Don't hesitate. La maison del sole is the house of love with a capital A!

Location is the bonus for this property. You are in the middle of the city, everything available at walking distance. The parking was arranged through the help of the owner for 15Euros p/day in a garage close to the hotel. Nice city view from the balcony. Good value for money!

Check in was arranged at a specific time and delayed 30 mins. We were waiting at the entrance with no air-con or fan (temperature in Palermo in August are crazy!). The bedroom we got had 2 beds, but one of them was with no bedsheets. Just one flat pillow for each guest. At the end Pietro's savoir faire fixes everything, as he is definitely a special host you won't forget!

It is located in the heart of the historic center, but removed from the noise and glow of the city. The views from the balcony were fabulous. A refrigerator and hot pot for tea were provided by the owners. The building had a vintage lift, great security, and three keys for your comings and goings. The artwork featured on the walls was painted by local artists that featured Palermo and its surrounding areas. Cleaning and towel exchange was available daily. The proprietor connected us with a network of drivers who picked us up and returned us to the airport, as well as, took us all over the city and surrounding area for a fair price.

The bathroom had a consistent odor that smelled like sewer gas; however, this seems to be an issue in most old buildings in old cities.

Great location in the city centre with amazing view from the balcony. The apartments are on the 6th floor, there is an elevator. The room was clean. Pietro was a very helpful host, who provided us a lot recommendations on what to see around and restaurants to visit. Although you might be surprised by the amount of messages you will receive from him :) It is possible to leave your luggage after check-out - there are special sets of keys left for this cases. Walking distance to all sights. Keeping that in mind, should be mentioned that Palermo and the area around the apartments were very dirty with trash around on the streets. But we experienced that almost everywhere on Sicily, so we were not surprised.

The toilet was not very clean. And should be mentioned that it's an eco toilet, so you cannot through toilet paper in it. This seems to be common for the area.

We stayed in this characteristic building for two nights, in two different apartments. Both on the 6th floor, hosted by the wonderful father and son team of Pietro and Vittorio. Great hosts, with excellent tips about Palermo. Location is the best, near everything worth seeing and doing in Palermo. Parking nearby needs some luck, arriving on a Sunday helped. The larger suite we stayed in is especially wonderful, highly recommended!

More time there would've been better 😊

The location was incredible - everything was close by, via Maqueda was just around the corner complete with shops, restaurants, cafes, you name it. We also loved being so close to the where the airport Prestia e Commande coach would drop off and pick up - took 3 minutes to get to Via Roma and be right there for the bus - absolutely no reason to take a taxi to and from the airport - even with late and early flights.

We had no issues with this property during our stay. Quite happy with the accommodation, the host, and the amenities. So, not applicable.

My family and I loved everything! The place is in the heart of Palermo, right next door to excellent bars and restaurants, and walking distance to all the monuments of the old town, you really won't need a car. We stayed in a room for 4 people, and it was lovely, very clean and comfortable. From our window we could see the all the movement in the busy street downstairs. Another reason to love this place is definitely Pietro, he is the best host you can wish for, really. Since before our arrival he was already taking care of us to make sure everything would be fine and it was more than fine, it was perfect. He even drove to the parking place with my husband. I highly recommend La Maison Del Sole, and for sure will stay there if we have a chance to go back to Palermo.
