The location is perfectly placed in the Old City center. You are withing walking distance from any and every point of interest and restaurant. Manlio is a wonderful host and helped us with tips and trick for places to sightsee and restaurants and bars. We visited a couple of beaches as well and Manlio provided us with directions and guidance in getting tickets. One could not ask for more! Both Manlio and Manuela are fantastic warm people and hosts. We´ve had breakfast included in our stay and it has been a feast every morning. This has been the first time my spose and I have stayed at an BNB and the Golden Standard is officially set!

This is not an unlike, it´s just a comment so future guests know. :) Mattress is on the hard side, took some getting used to.

The location is great, minutes walk from historic areas of Palermo. Nice to have the whole appartment to ourselves. Very spacious. I appreciated being able to use this kitchen to cut up an apple and store something in the fridge as well. Breakfast was great and our hosts were really helpful with suggestions for dining and traveling in and around Palermo. I really appreciated that Mario got up early for breakfast on departture day and helped me take our luggage to the taxi stand down the street. That was super kind!

I appreciated our hosts asking if stairs are okay when I booked, and I didn't think it would be a problme, but there were a lot of them. As a reminder, the apartment is on the 2nd floor, which, if you are American, is the 3rd floor! For my elderly mom and sis-in-law who has hip probems, it wasn't the best option. It didn't bother me, but it was a lot to arrive and drag baggage up three floors. Just something to be aware of. Our bed was a little squeeky and I only noticed because I tossed and turned a lot one night.

The space is beautifully decorated, with very Palermo vibes. The host is always so kind, accommodating, and has great recommendations. Breakfast is a balance of healthy and decadent, good coffee, and during hours that make sense whether you want to sleep in or get out and see the sites. The sites are all within walking distance and the train station is nearby. This is where we stay every time we are in Palermo (several times a year). Yes, we have tried other places, but in the end this has been the very best and we always figure out how to stay again. We have stayed in both rooms and they are both lovely.

My sister said she was surprised by the stairs. I told her "welcome to Europe!". Nothing negative of note.

Absolutely loved the decor. Spotlessly clean. Kind host with great recommendations (Palazzo Butera was particularly gorgeous!). Comfy bed. Central location (I just walked everywhere). Wonderful breakfast. You do have to climb a few flights of stairs to get to the place (so maybe don't bring big luggage), but this was also unexpectedly pleasant because the building itself also has its charms.

Nothing!

A fantastic apartment set in a stunning building located perfectly to enjoy Palermo. Manlio, our host, was extremely welcoming and gave us some fantastic tips on where to visit, eat and enjoy an aperitivo, he couldn't have done more. The breakfast was really, really plentiful and tasty, and the room itself was very comfortable with a nice little balcony. We didn't find a problem at all with the bathroom being located outside the room, it's private and very luxurious. Thank you Manlio.

The accommodation was easy to get to and perfectly placed for exploring old town Palermo. We stayed for a week and were very happy to have done so. The owners were very welcoming and provided useful information on places to see, eat and drink. Rooms were comfortable, breakfast was delicious every morning, and Manilo keeps the place spotless. There are 70 steps to the door of the apartments, but it's worth it because once you've made it that far you enter an oasis of calm in the heart of the old city. Stepping out from the accommodation you find yourself on Via Divisi, with Via Roma to your right and Via Maqueda to the left, both bustling streets with plenty to offer. On our first evening the owners suggested crossing Via Roma and walking down Via Divisi towards (pedestrianised) Via Vittorio Emmanuele and that one piece of advice led us to what turned out to be our favourite area for wining and dining. We loved Palermo. We loved the accommodation, and we would return in a heartbeat.

Our host Manilo was a very interesting man, having been born in the home we had a large room in. He was chatty, multi lingual and prepared a lovely and substantial breakfast., 10 mins walk to the central station, bars and shops all around

Nothing, great entrance to the building, internal cobbled courtyard and dramitic staircase.

Manlio was an exceptional host. He gave us very useful information about the city and was extremely kind and friendly. The location is great, close to most tourist attractions but away from crowds

The 3 flights of stairs can be problem for some people but it was ok for us and Manlio was also willing to help taking the luggage upstairs

Great location, easy to reach from the airport but still central. As a solo traveller I felt safe, also when walking home at night. Manlio is a great host, always up for a chat and with great tips to make the best out of your time in Palermo. Breakfast is delicious, healthy and very abundant . Super helpful to be able to leave the luggage at the property after checking out with a very easy system to get it back when it’s time to leave.

I have nothing to complain about

We loved our stay and felt very welcomed and just like at home from the beginning. Manilo was super attentive and gave us great tips where to go and what to see in Palermo and Sicily. The location of his apartment is very central yet quite calm during the night for Palermo standards since it's located in a side street. As many of the Sicilian houses, it is not the prettiest on the outside, but once you enter you are in the real palace :) If you like slow travel, history and family guesthouses, do not look elsewhere and book this one!
