I highly recommend this B&B. It was immaculately clean and well appointed. The hosts were lovely. The view is one to remember. It has a great location in the old town of Salemi. They provide breakfast, but I did not need it due to other arrangements.

Manuela is the perfect host always ready to help and make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The property is located on one of the main street, but not too close to any bars, so the nights are quiet. I would definitely recommend this property if you're planning to stay in Salemi.

It was so nice to stay at B&B Conte Umberto. We got completely stuck in the narrow streets upon arrival, but Nicola helped us and guided us down to a nearby parking lot and then drove us up to the apartment. Every day we got a delicious breakfast with croissants, fresh fruit, yoghurt and coffee and tea. The apartment had two balconies and a fantastic view from both the kitchen and bedroom. We enjoyed ourselves very much and were very well looked after by Nicola and his mother.

Wonderful place and wonderful and helpful host. The rooms are fantastic and the view from the balcony is spectacular. The property is located very close to the Salemi Ceramics (only a few steps) and 5 minutes walk to Piazza Liberty and town center. All in all, very perfect. Very charming Italian city.

Franca was very welcoming, the apartment was at street level in the Historic district near museums, a castle, and beautiful churches. The rooms were beautiful and cleaned every day. The view from the back windows with balconies was a beautiful vista of the countryside. The breakfast was incredible! Croissants, cakes, yogurt, and many fresh fruits. Organic teas, coffee, tea, and bottled water were included.

This is an entire apartment with full kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living room. Both the kitchen and the bedroom had balconies with sweeping views of the Belice Valley of grape vineyards, wheat fields, and olive groves, ultimately with the Mediterranean Sea in the distance. The host was very kind and accommodating.

The B&B is spacious, clean, within a 5-10 minute walk of everything you need in Salemi. The host is friendly and kind. The views from the balcony across Sicily towards the sea were amazing!

The owner is kind and nice. The room is very comfortable and clean. I particularly enjoyed the view. The B&B Conte Umberto is located right in the historic center near the monastery where the Salemi Ceramics course is held. The rich breakfast is included. I am very satisfied with my stay.

Very welcoming B&B and certainly very clean. The location is central and fully met our needs. Mrs. Franca welcomed us warmly and provided us with everything we needed for a pleasant stay. So, it was a satisfying experience in itself. The only downside, if you can call it that, was the excessive noise coming from the apartment above, from evening until late at night, which created quite a few problems for us who travel and need rest, making it difficult to fall asleep and waking us up later on. Another issue was breakfast, as Mrs. allowed us to have it at an affiliated bar, which, however, remained devoid of any kind of food until almost 11, making us go back and forth with the ticket several times and only managing to complete the breakfast included in the price late in the morning. So nothing to object to in itself, but just a piece of advice for Mrs. Franca, who was so helpful, to also manage the stay-related services a bit better, as they make a difference in an experience to possibly repeat or recommend.

Salemi, a clean, welcoming and exquisite B&B. For some time I had been thinking of visiting my birthplace Salemi. From Monday 23 to Wednesday 25 September I did it and I found a modern and well-kept B&B Conte Umberto. Already when booking it, I was curious to see what this B&B Conte Umberto was. Upon arrival, I could see and appreciate the harmony of the warm and welcoming decor right away. At my age (80 years old) I don't know if I will stay again in this magnificent B&B Conte Umberto. However, in hindsight, I would like to thank Mrs. Gandolfo for her courtesy and spirit of collaboration. Tonino Armata.
