Description
Location and style
Our B&B is located in the historic center in the heart of the Historical Market of Ballarò, which has been existing for 1100 years.
Leaving the '60s property building, you will immediately find yourself immersed into the market, made up of old scents of exhilarating presence, delicious food, vivacious merchants of spices, meats and fish, vegetables and fruit, accessories and souvenirs. All accompanied by folkloristic local habits and customs, perfectly mixed with those of faraway lands. In the market, more than 25 different languages are spoken.
From our terrace it is possible to listen and watch the market with its unique "abbanniata", the selling-goods style of the merchqnts evoking the glorious Arabic Golden Age.
STREET FOOD
Finding a lot of food for all pockets. From the classic and famous sandwich with spleen to arancina. Or panelle (chickpea flour) and crocchè (potato balls). And then again the stigghiole, the cuarume, u mussu, the boiled octopus, salt and lemon and a glass of wine, cannoli with sheep's milk ricotta, fried aubergines, artichokes and boiled potatoes. Cardoni in batter, fried squid, pomegranate, orange and lemon juices.
RESTAURANTS
First courses and more. Pasta with sardines, pasta palina, pasta with sauce and aubergines, swordfish rolls, grilled or baked fish, side dishes of all kinds, parmigiana with strictly fried aubergines, fish or eggplant caponata, and much and much more.
SURROUNDINGS
Our guests will have the opportunity to fully enjoy the riches and beauties of our areas thanks to the precious suggestions of the managers.
A short distance from our residence, guests will find everything they need to fully enjoy their holiday.
The main monuments and palaces within the archaeological tour, the ancient Cortina Muraria, Villa Bonanno in Piazza Vittoria, the Punic necropolis, the former convent of the Magione, the early Christian catacomb of porta d'ossuna, the grotta della malora, grotta Niscemi and the archaeological parks of the province (Monte jato, Solunto, Himera).

Hey from Rosario

Hello everyone. My name is Rosario Cicciarella for friends Saro. I am originally from Modica in the province of Ragusa.
Since 2019 I have been living in Palermo with my partner Caterina and my 9-year-old daughter Viola.
I lived abroad for many years in London and then in Brussels. We have decided to return to our land and to bring a little European breath to the neighborhood of the Historical Market of Ballarò.
We speak English, French, Italian, Arabic and a little bit of Spanish.
We are passionate about cooking and music and we like to travel with the mind along with your adventures.
A glass of wine on the terrace at sunset, going around the city, concerts, art exhibitions, cultural events.
We are part of some third sector associations in the hotel district, we are in favor of inclusion and hospitality policies and we put the concept of humanity first. Our land is where our feet rest.
We are waiting for you in our structure and we will try to brighten your stay by giving you all the possible advice to be able to experience an unforgettable stay in our beautiful land.
The sea, the sun, in street food, enjoy a good glass of wine talking and dreaming with you.
Soon!
Ros.

Great place to stay, Rosario was amazing as he responded quickly to our messages and suggested a great place to have dinner. It's a little difficult to find, but the rooms were great and a five minute walk to Quattro Canti and the market is right outside the building. Views from the room were magnificent and would definitely stay here again when returning to Palermo.

Wonderful place, area verging on the old Arab district, may look creepy to many, but the experience is unforgettable. The view from the room, the non-obvious safety of the place... will come back if opportunity arises.

Ottima struttura vicinissima al centro. La camera aveva la terrazza con vista spettacolare sul centro e sul mercato di Ballarò. Si sentivano i rumori del mercato anche a finestre chiuse ma personalmente non mi hanno dato fastidio. Gentile e disponibile il gestore.

Il B&B è comodissimo e molto ben tenuto, le camere sono belle con viste molto buone. Il solo punto sorprendente e abbastanza sgradevole è il quartiere un po' oppressivo che può impaurire al di fuori dei giorni di mercato.
Nonostante, la localizzazione permette di accedere velocemente a tutti i punti d'interesse e alla stazione, una posizione strategica per percorrere la città a piedi.
