Description

"Quattro Canti di città" (or Ottangolo, or also Teatro del Sole) is the name given to the open space - Piazza Vigliena - formed by the intersection of Corso Vittorio Emanuele with Via Maqueda. In this place, where the four seventeenth-century quarters of the city meet, where the sun dances from sunrise to sunset, Palermo had its own gravity center. Here there was the fulcrum of city life, a place for walking and hanging around; here they information about shows, events and happenings conveyed and spread; here workers and servants gathered in search of work and masters to serve.

A constant coming and going, from all sides and in all directions has always characterized the square. Yesterday and today. The nerve center of the historic center of Palermo, an indispensable destination for tourists and visitors, "Piazza dei Quattro Canti" represents the ideal starting point for any exploratory route in the city.

It is to this place Quattro Incanti reconnects; a base in the historic center, easily accessible, dedicated to those who choose Palermo for their trip in Sicily.

500 meters from Piazza Quattro Canti, right next to Real Teatro Santa Cecilia (the oldest in the city), Quattro Incanti is located in a early eightteenth-century building, which looks onto the elegant Via Roma, on one side, on the Piazza Teatro Santa Cecilia, on the other, with access from via Piccola del Teatro Santa Cecilia n ° 5.

Breakfast

The breakfast at Quattro Incanti is designed to offer a first taste of the culture and culinary quality "made in Sicily". It features a wide selection of flavors, a presentation rich in colors and shapes, and a careful selection based on the season of the year, local celebrations, and their culinary peculiarities.

Located on the second floor (which can be reached via a comfortable internal staircase), the living room and terrace are entirely independent of the sleeping area and provide the perfect setting for breakfast. Guests can enjoy a sweet Sicilian festival of flavors, scents, and colors, which includes a buffet of typical products, seasonal fruits and jams, yogurts and juices, pastries and croissants, biscuits and cakes, as well as the inevitable cappuccinos, latte macchiatos, and coffees, served directly at the tables.

The panoramic view from the terrace available to guests frames the nearby Real Teatro Santa Cecilia, Palazzo Valguarnera Ganci (a set for some scenes of the movie "Il Gattopardo"), the rooftops of the city center, and reaches Montepellegrino, "the most beautiful promontory in the world," the final resting place of Santa Rosalia, the patron saint of Palermo.

Italian breakfast is served from 8:00 to 10:00 every day. Any requests for specific products related to food intolerances, allergies or diets can be communicated at the time of booking.

Great location. Large and clean rooms. Excellent breakfast on the terrace with homemade cakes, cookies, and focaccia. And last but most important, the presence of Alessandro who with his availability made our stay a real vacation.

martina

First impression with Palermo and I chose this accommodation for its central location. Certainly, in the evening (especially on Saturday), the streets below the accommodation were crowded with noise. But inside the room, it was not very loud, thanks to the triple windows and earplugs provided by the manager. Then there's nothing better than breakfast on the terrace! Magnificent view and great food! Impeccable cleanliness and lots of suggestions to visit Palermo at its best. I recommend this B&B to everyone.

Lovely bed and breakfast near the old town. Very clean, spacious, and comfortable. We had a lovely breakfast provided by the host who was very knowledgeable and helpful. He arranged our transfer back to the airport and arrived early to provide us with breakfast before our flight.

stayed from 10/11/2023 to 10/13/2023

The answer from the host:
Thanks very much Frances! It's been a great pleasure being your host!! See you soon.

elia

The highlight of the property is its manager Alessandro who provides very precise instructions for self check-in. The property is located in an old building on the second floor but inside the bed and breakfast is impeccable for comfort and cleanliness. The breakfast on the terrace is sublime, made with artisanal products and the jams are delicious. Moreover, if there is friendliness, courtesy and humor that accompany everything, it's all much better and here at Quattro Incanti, Alessandro ensures it!

I stayed at the Quattro Incanti for only one night. Pleasant, spacious, clean room. Super breakfast. The owner was available, attentive to every need. We were able to leave our luggage at the property. Everything was perfect, I recommend it.

Alessandro was very kind and caring. He provided us with a multitude of useful tips both before and during our stay. Everything is organized to perfection from booking, to welcoming, and throughout the stay. New, spacious and comfortable beds as well as the rest of the B&B (brand new bathrooms/top insulation/very spacious and bright room/breakfast terrace). Very central. We will gladly return.

gian luca

Regarding breakfast, the rating is not 10 but at least 12! Already from the detailed instructions for fast check-in that you receive before arrival, you understand that you are dealing with a precise and competent person. The structure is clean, tidy, with a beautiful terrace available for guests. The rooms have excellent sound insulation, an air conditioner that, used in dehumidifier + silent mode, is not noticeable and not forceful with the cold (no risk of summer cold!). The location is perfect, close to all the main points of interest in Palermo. The host, Alessandro, you can see that he is passionate about his work! Friendly, reserved, and helpful, truly competent. A person with whom it is impossible not to have a pleasant conversation. Okay, there is the limit of the slightly annoying stairs, but the luggage is taken up only once and the effort is worth the stay!

stayed from 08/18/2022 to 08/20/2022

The answer from the host:
Carissimo Gian Luca, Grazie di cuore per questa valutazione positiva. È stato un piacere conoscervi e ospitarvi, sono lieto che siate stati bene. Un grande abbraccio da Palermo e da Quattro Incanti.

daryl

Alessandro and his staff were the perfect hosts. His wife and mother-in-law made daily breakfast cakes in addition to homemade fruit jams and jellies, orange, lemon, fig and strawberry. The rooftop seating area was spacious with a fabulous view of the surrounding city. The beds/mattresses in the rooms were so comfortable. Air conditioning was also great. Rooms spacious. We took the advice to take the local bus from the airport to the central station for 6 euros pp, then a 15-minute walk to the property. A great savings compared to $40 euros for a taxi. You do have to walk your luggage up to the 5th floor but it was well worth it. If we get back to Sicily we will definitely stay with Alessandro again.

Alessandro proved to be a truly professional and friendly host, very beautiful and clean room, super central location of the structure, and last but not least a fantastic breakfast served on a beautiful little terrace!

I randomly chose this accommodation and I was satisfied. The environment is very familiar, it is an apartment with 4 rooms, extremely clean, spacious, and comfortable. The manager has always been kind, friendly, and helpful. The location is strategic, we reached all the places of interest on foot, and the area itself is enriched with numerous venues and a lively atmosphere. The breakfast time is very convivial, to be enjoyed inside or on the lovely terrace with excellent homemade cakes and other local products. I recommend it!

stayed from 10/14/2021 to 10/16/2021

Comfortable structure compared to the train station and the city center. Comfortable and well-maintained rooms. The terrace where you can have breakfast is a gem. The manager is very kind and helpful.

I can only give the highest rating to this property. The location is excellent, just a stone's throw from Palermo station and the center, you can walk everywhere without needing a car or public transport. Our room was spacious and well organized, equipped with all the comforts, cleaning is done every day. Excellent breakfast, both sweet and savory (homemade cakes were much appreciated), served on a very charming terrace on beautiful days. Finally, the welcome from the owner Alessandro made us feel at home! Our stay was truly pleasant. Highly recommended!

lucia

Let's start with the owner, who was infinitely kind, supporting us in every request with extreme courtesy and promptness. The bed and breakfast is a real gem. It is located in a somewhat run-down building that could be discouraging at first, but as soon as you open the door on the second floor, you enter an apartment divided into rooms that welcomes you with its light colors and well-kept details, immediately putting you at ease. The room is just as well-kept, spacious, welcoming, new, and equipped with every comfort. An additional value is the terrace that can be reached by an internal staircase and allows you to have breakfast outdoors. We also really liked the location, a stone's throw from Quattro Canti and other places of interest, lively even in the evening if you don't want to go far in search of a restaurant. We found parking near the property without difficulty. Therefore, recommended from all points of view.

stayed from 07/29/2021 to 07/31/2021

Strategic B&B, located in the historic center of Palermo, easy to reach on foot. And with public transport, it is easy to reach the nearby beach of Mondello. Very good and abundant breakfast, friendly, kind, and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

The rooms are very charming and the cleanliness is excellent. The breakfast is also excellent. Finally, Alessandro, the manager, has been extremely helpful and friendly. If I were to return to Palermo, I would definitely choose this structure.

Cara Vesna, Caro Piero, in questo soggiorno, trascorso insieme in un periodo di zona rossa di Palermo, è stato piacevolissimo ritrovarci la mattina a conversare e condividere le nostre storie.

Structure in the center of Palermo that I recommend. The B&B is in an ancient building on the second floor. Simple but very clean structure. Alessandro, the owner, is very kind and full of attention towards the customer. He is precise and meticulous. All the anti-COVID regulations are perfectly followed, from the sanitization of the structure to breakfast and the use of masks. Perfect location to reach on foot, within a few minutes, any tourist attraction in the center of Palermo. Excellent value for money.

The B&B is located in an excellent position. \nIt is just a few minutes from the central station of Palermo and the bustling heart of the city. \nThe premises and rooms of the structure, despite being in an ancient palace in the center, are all completely renovated and modernized. \nThe breakfast offered by the owner is more than abundant, with a wide variety of products, even homemade and artisanal, ranging from sweet to savory. \nLastly, but not least, it is worth mentioning the hospitality offered by the owner Alessandro, who is always ready to meet any need of the guests and to introduce the places where you can find the most authentic and lively Palermo, making the stay pleasant, as if you were guests at an old friend's house. Highly recommended!

Cari Stefano e Alessandro, grazie per aver valutato positivamente il vostro soggiorno. La vostra soddisfazione è importantissima. A presto. Alessandro.

vincenzo

Well-positioned structure within the historic city center! A few minutes from the cathedral, Piazza Quattro Canti, and the two historic markets of Palermo, Ballarò and Vucciria, and many other tourist sites. Structure in an old nineteenth-century building, the only flaw... climbing fairly high steps! But otherwise everything is magnificent! Lots of professionalism and courtesy from Mr. Alessandro. Rooms very clean, air conditioners working well, given the intense heat of the city, very satisfying breakfast to be enjoyed in a small room upstairs, where you can also find a small terrace to take some relaxation time. And to finish... I was granted the possibility to leave my luggage on site until late afternoon. Certainly on my next visit to Palermo, I will return to this B&B.

stayed from 08/26/2020 to 08/30/2020

We spent this short vacation in the wonderful city of Palermo! Besides the beauty of the city, full of folklore and magic, we were lucky to stay at this very well-kept bed and breakfast located in the center of Palermo and managed by Alessandro.
