We stayed at this small Bed & Breakfast for a few days and were very satisfied. The location of the establishment is optimal as the Mad Bed & Breakfast is in the middle of all the places of interest and a short distance from the 4 corners. Also, despite being close to many popular venues, it is located on a secluded street that is quite peaceful. The place, despite its simplicity, is very welcoming, furnished with original furniture and paintings designed by the young managers. Another strong point is the remarkable attention to cleanliness both in the rooms and common areas. We stayed in the red room, which is quite spacious, furnished rationally, and with a adequately sized bathroom. For breakfast, quality products are made available, necessarily packaged due to regulatory provisions. The hospitality of Antonella and Santino was commendable, they followed us efficiently and discreetly and provided us with useful information to enhance our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Mad Bed & Breakfast. Antonella made our trip with fantastic recommendations for food and places to visit. She also gave us an overview of the city which made it easier to navigate around. The accommodation was lovely, clean, and in a central location (just a short walk from the train station and right by the main tourist area). I would highly recommend MAD B&B.

Great Bed & Breakfast in the heart of the city, just a stone's throw from the most beautiful monuments and picturesque areas of the beautiful Palermo. The room is very beautiful and clean, the breakfast is excellent, and the owners are very kind, providing advice on how to fully enjoy the stay in one of the most incredible cities in our country. And if there's a rainy day, don't worry: there's even Netflix in the room! Highly recommended.

Nous recommandons ce B&B charmant. Extrêmement bien situé au centre ville. Avec un accueil très chaleureux, Antonella se coupe en quatre pour vous rendre votre séjour harmonieux. On se sent à la maison, Merci Antonella. Je recommande aussi la petite gargote indienne dans la même rue, délicieux, dépaysement assuré.

Questo B&B è veramente una sorpresa nascosta!in una zona che, per chi arriva dalle campagne padane come noi, è di forte impatto, ma è praticamente vicinissimo al centro e ai più famosi siti storici da visitare, a pochi passi dal famoso e pittoresco mercato di Ballarò (da vedere assolutamente!) ma ciò che rende speciale questo alloggio sono innanzi tutto L'ospitalità la gentilezza la disponibilità dei proprietari di casa Antonella e Santino, pronti a soddisfare ogni richiesta e a dare informazioni utilissime a livello turistico. Un appartamento funzionale perchè non manca proprio nulla e pulitissimo, arredato in modo originale, colorato, vivace, con oggetti di recupero sapientemente riusati in modo creativo!Se dovessimo tornare a Palermo il nostro alloggio sarebbe ancora questo senza ombra di dubbio. Consigliatissimo a chiunque, single, coppie, famiglie. Una sola nota negativa avervi fatto solo 3 giorni! Grazie di cuore per aver reso la nostra mini vacanza ancora più piacevole.
