What guests say

Travelers consistently praise the property’s peaceful setting in a well-kept garden, creating a relaxing atmosphere despite being in the city. Rooms are modern, clean, and well-equipped. Guests frequently highlight the kindness and helpfulness of the host. The breakfast is abundant, often served in the room, and features fresh products. Private parking is available and convenient. A few guests mention that the location can be less practical without a car and that it’s a bit removed from the city center, but overall, stays are relaxing and comfortable—also suitable for families.

The structure is immersed in a beautiful garden, the room with bathroom is comfortable and cozy, the service is excellent and the owner's courtesy is top-notch. It was a real pleasure to stay in this B&B.

A truly wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the kindness and availability of our hosts. The house is absolutely beautiful and incredibly welcoming — it honestly exceeded all our expectations. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged to ensure maximum comfort. We felt right at home. Thank you for such a lovely experience.

Everything was very good, but the breakfast could have been more abundant and varied compared to what I saw in other farm stays.

Salve mi dispiace per la colazione...ma noi siamo un b&b...non un agriturismo In ogni caso potevate chiedere una integrazione anche con il salato... siamo sempre disponibili Alla prossima Grazie.

We were warmly welcomed in a comfortable room with a private bathroom upstairs. The environment is quiet and the balcony overlooked a very beautiful garden. Italian breakfast with still warm pastries from the bakery next door.

The structure is very well-kept, immersed in greenery and quiet, even though it is in the city. The manager is very kind, helpful, and very precise, the same goes for the staff. The breakfast is excellent, suitable for our needs and kindly served at home, meaning just outside the room. The latter is very nice and essentially an autonomous structure. The only note concerns the mosquitoes, but only outside, which depends on the presence of the garden. However, we were promptly equipped to deal with them. The overall judgment is more than positive!

A bit inconvenient to reach (in Cruillas), once arrived it feels like being in another world. Beautiful garden, very well maintained. Personally, I stayed in a room with an independent entrance from the garden (bungalow type) and I felt very good.

Beautiful structure, with pleasant furnishings inside and every kind of comfort; 4 days surrounded by greenery, tranquility. During the afternoon, with the beautiful sunny days, I could relax on the loungers provided by the owner and even though I was at the structure to go to Cervello Hospital, staying at Il Giardino dei Merli made everything much more enjoyable. Excellent breakfast brought to the room at the requested time. Both for the proximity to Cervello Hospital and Via Regione Siciliana and for the beauty of the place, I will return 100%. Many thanks Mr. Drago.

Splendid green oasis in Palermo. Stunning place immersed in an orange garden where you can relax on sun loungers or sunbathe and also cool off with the shower available to guests. The place is very close to the Cervello Hospital (5 minutes walk) and there is the possibility to park the car inside the property. The room where I stayed was brand new, clean, and equipped with all the comforts (fridge with water, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, table and chairs for dining, sofa) and the bathroom very large and spotless. Breakfast is served in the room at the requested time and you can choose from a wide list whatever you prefer. A special mention goes to the kindness and availability of the owner who did everything to meet my needs. I cannot say that I found anything negative in this property and I hope to return soon.

We were guests at 'Il Giardino dei Merli', a lovely place with a very well-kept garden where you can sunbathe on the deck chairs and also use the outdoor shower. The room was large and also had a space with a sofa. Both the room and the bathroom were brand new and very clean. Very abundant breakfast served in the room at the desired time with the possibility to choose what you want to eat. Ideal for a vacation, especially for the possibility of parking the car inside in a monitored parking lot. I highly recommend everyone to stay here and will be back soon.

The accommodation is a wooden house in the hosts' garden. The room and the bathroom are comfortable, clean, and spacious. Unfortunately, the wood creaked at night. We couldn't open the windows because of the mosquitoes in the garden. There are no mosquito nets. The breakfast was sweet and plentiful. And the hosts were very friendly. The residential area didn't seem particularly good to us.

Nice place with well-kept outdoor garden, spacious room, well-furnished, cozy, clean, with all the comforts. Manager quite available to various needs, price within the norm, place a bit tucked away to find for those not familiar with the area. We were sorry to have to stay only for a few hours, we will definitely return. I recommend to everyone!

This Bed and Breakfast is a real green oasis in Palermo. It is immersed in a wonderful garden, where you can have breakfast or relax on the sun loungers. The room where I stayed is very modern and tastefully furnished, the cleanliness is impeccable. The place is very close to the Cervello hospital, easily reachable on foot. I highly recommend it to those with a car, as it has a monitored parking lot and with the car, the city center can be reached in a short time. The owner is a very kind gentleman and the breakfast is very abundant and served in the room at the requested time! I will definitely come back when I am in Palermo!

I highly recommend it to everyone.

I stayed with my partner at the B&B "Il Giardino dei Merli" and I must say that we had a great time, both for the structure that hosted us (the wooden cottage is delightful) and for the cleanliness of the B&B as well as for the availability and kindness of the owner. It was two relaxing days, especially when we returned tired from the excursions to Palermo. We will definitely return when we visit the city again.

Il Giardino dei Merli is one of those Bed and Breakfasts that you can't help but recommend. Nestled in the greenery, the property is clean and well-furnished, and in the morning you can enjoy a plentiful breakfast brought directly to your room. Despite the distance from the center (a car is recommended), I recommend it especially for those like me who not only want to visit Palermo, but also discover other locations such as Mondello or Monreale, easily reachable from the place.

We stayed at this property for only one night and had to leave very early in the morning so we could not enjoy the abundant breakfast that everyone talks about. But the owner of the property, very kind and helpful, provided us with a small supply of cookies, snacks, and coffee for a quick breakfast before departure. The property is really beautiful, new, and very clean. It has a wonderful garden that can be used for a day or evening of relaxation. In short, a perfect score for this property, very well-maintained and with very friendly owners. The location is also excellent as it is halfway between the city center and Mondello.

I had a wonderful time in this B&B, it is very convenient if you're coming from the airport. I was welcomed very warmly by the two owners, who are very friendly and always willing to help you. Breakfast was excellent, with a great choice, including fresh fruit, and is served to you in the room at the time you require. It is also possible to eat it outside, in the stunning garden full of trees and plants. The room is very beautiful, clean and cosy. It is easy to drive to the city centre from the B&B. What I enjoyed the most was chilling in the wonderful garden at night, when I was back to the B&B: so relaxing! I have no doubt I'll come here again the next time I'll be in Palermo.

I had a great time, the manager is very kind and helpful. The structure is well done, very suggestive. The room is very well cared for, tidy and clean. Beautiful garden available to guests, all very clean and tidy. Exceptional breakfast, there is a wide choice and everything is of excellent quality (the fruit collected in the home garden is the best). The location is great, parking is available for guests and it is easy to move around with public transport. 5 stars are not enough.

I stayed in this property for one day and one night to go to the nearby Cervello Hospital. Despite the Hospital being just a 10-minute walk from the B&B, the owners were very kind and drove me to the Hospital and even offered to pick me up. The property is inside a well-kept garden and the room is very nice. Breakfast is served in the room by choosing what you want from a menu and is brought at the specified time. In the fridge, you can find water, soft drinks, and juices available to the customer, coffee from the coffee machine in the room, a kettle for making tea and herbal teas. Breakfast can also be enjoyed outside in the garden and is really very pleasant, you can also sunbathe and relax at the end of the day. For any need and necessity, they are available and you can call them at any time because they live inside the same garden as the B&B. I felt at home. I thank them for their availability and kindness.
