Hey from Francesco

Member since March 2021 | 6,734 hits

I'm Francesco, the owner of the Palazzo al Carmine in Monreale, an accommodation facility a few steps from Palermo. In 2010 I opened my first Bed and Breakfast (B&B White) in Palermo; later in the following years I continued this activity by opening other accommodation facilities and in 2020 I decided to invest in the splendid Monreale, imagining to create a design structure with all the high-level services. I love to travel and for this reason I have visited many beautiful places in my life. I am a design enthusiast, I listen to light music and I dedicate myself with passion to my accommodation facilities. I renovated the Palazzo al Carmine in Monreale in 2020, taking advantage of my travels abroad and based on my experience with the B&B White and the other accommodation facilities that I have opened over the years. I have dedicated a lot of attention to detail and to the search for maximum comfort for my guests. I hope to offer Monreale a charming and relaxing stay as well as leaving my guests with an indelible memory. Have a good stay at all.

Very nice property, except for the stairs to reach the top floor. They are a bit tiring to climb, especially with luggage. There was a problem with the water, which was available only on the ground floor. Fortunately we were a group and were able to use the water there. In the bathroom of room 103 there are no windows and no ventilation fans, or perhaps the fan is present but broken. All in all the stay went well. Credit also to the young woman who welcomed us. Very kind and professional.

We really enjoyed the room. Very clean and fresh with nice amenities. Our plans changed on the day of our arrival so we did not arrive until late in the evening. But access had been pre-arranged and we got in without a hitch using the detailed instructions (in English!). Unfortunately because of our late arrival and early departure, we did not get to explore and enjoy the neighborhood.

The structure is clean and welcoming, super technological (background music via Bluetooth). The bathroom is completely equipped with a jacuzzi and beautiful relaxing colored lights. The host is available and courteous (they allowed us to return to the room despite the expected check-out time). The location is central, but not very easy to find. The only flaw is that the sofa bed is not a real double bed, but only a single one with an additional mattress, so it is not really comfortable. The double bed, on the other hand, is top-notch.

The structure was welcoming, clean, and complete with everything we needed (it would be useful to also introduce a washing machine for a better service!), so I always gave the highest marks but I feel I have to give 9/10 on the value for money ratio only because during the period we went they were resurfacing the road right in front of our structure, so getting there was a bit more complicated and rather noisy, especially in the morning.
