Description

Being hospitable has traditionally been a character of the Sicilian population and this sense of hospitality has induced us to open this new bed and breakfast: Kemonia, a warm and friendly house open to anyone who wants to experience Palermo.

Certain of the fact that our country will be loved by all who come here, we would like to guide you through the naturalistic and architectural gems of Palermo which will take you back in time and enable you to savour those ancient civilizations by which Palermo has been so deeply marked.

The rooms are extremely comfortable, spacious and well illuminated with two of them having access to a lovely balcony. All the rooms have the private bathroom opposite them.

Whilst relaxing in the dining room, you will be able to use our brochures to discover the obvious, as well as the unusual, sights to see in Palermo.

We want to not only provide you with a friendly and relaxing place to stay but also with helpful and precious advice. As a tourist, it is not always easy to know where and where not to go, but at Kemonia, we will ensure that you don’t have to work it all out by yourself!

Area Tribunale

We are situated in the historical centre of Palermo on Via Nicolò Turrisi, 38/b.

From this central location, you can easily reach the Massimo and the Politeama theatre by foot.

If you fancy it you could also dive into the folk district of Capo, by going through the Porta Carini (the oldest of the three gates that stand alongside the northern side of the city).

The Cathedral, The Royal Palace, the Chapel of Hermits and the Square of Independence are just some examples of the historical places that are to be found around this area and are all well worth a visit.

What guests say

Guests particularly value the central location, with many of Palermo’s sights within walking distance, as well as the clean, comfortable and often spacious rooms. Riccardo is frequently praised for his warm welcome, helpfulness and local tips. Breakfast is generally well received, and guests appreciate the value for money. Some note traffic noise, which comes with the urban setting.

We stayed for three nights. There aren’t many parks in the city centre, but from the room with a balcony you look out onto a small park and beyond that you have a sweeping view of Monte Pellegrino. The view is somewhat marred by a large number of mobile phone masts, but that’s the case throughout Italy. As well as a spacious, tidy room with a good bed, it is above all the host who makes a real impression. He is very friendly and service-minded. If there is anything at all you’d like to change, just say so straight away. He made sure we had a good time, including by providing an early breakfast on the day of departure. The way we have breakfast at home is quite different from the Italian custom of having lots of white bread and sweet treats. That’s not the host’s fault. The location is perfect; you’re in the pedestrianised area of the old town in no time. As mentioned in previous reviews, there’s a busy road running past and you can hear it. Our routine of going to bed early and getting up early meant we weren’t bothered by it much. In short: highly recommended. Excellent value for money.

Riccardo is an exceptional host: very kind, attentive, and always available for any needs. The accommodation is impeccably clean, well-kept to the smallest detail, and immediately conveys a sense of comfort and hospitality. The breakfast offers a pleasant variety. The location allows for exploring all the beauties of the city on foot, with restaurants, shops, and monuments just a few steps away. Highly recommended!

The stay at Riccardo's in Kemonia was an all-around positive experience that we would repeat at any time. The great advantage of the central location is also the only disadvantage: due to the street traffic, it is never really quiet, but we didn't expect it to be in the middle of Palermo either.

The structure is splendid, in a strategic position for those who want to visit the historic center of Palermo. Just a few steps from the Capo market and the Teatro Massimo. Riccardo is a delightful person who welcomed us with kindness and professionalism. Always available, ready to advise his guests in the best way. Excellent breakfasts. A structure that I highly recommend.

The manager has always shown cordiality, kindness, understanding, availability. The conditions agreed upon initially over the phone before the booking confirmation have been respected. The environment is quiet, comfortable, practical. Everything very clean, precise, welcoming. I highly recommend this property for those who want to spend a holiday or something else in the wonderful Palermo, because B&B Kemonia is located a few steps from the Teatro Massimo.

Writing this review is more than a pleasure. I recently stayed at this property with my sister and besides being able to confirm the excellent value for money, I must add that the manager is welcoming, kind, helpful, attentive to every need. In fact, given the hot climate of the city and the season, we found a bottle of water available in our room every morning. Furthermore, due to its central location, you can enjoy a modest view and a pleasant tranquility.

We stayed at B&B Kemonia from 3rd to 11th August.\n\nThe manager, Riccardo, was very kind and extremely helpful in fulfilling every request and need. The atmosphere was comfortable and very familiar. The croissants for breakfast were freshly baked, and jams and yogurt followed our preferences every morning.\n\nThe location of the B&B is very convenient to reach the historic center: literally steps away from the Capo market, in five minutes on foot you reach the Cathedral.\n\nHighly recommended.
