Mr. Paolo was very kind: he welcomed us with courtesy and showed us the main monuments of the city, also advising on the means of transport to reach them if necessary and on restaurants where to eat. We had a good time.

Great location for the historical center of the city, relatively easy parking (but we are in the center), good essential but very functional structure. Our reference point for Palermo.

Very convenient location, convenient parking in front of the property in the limited traffic zone, so license plate needs to be communicated in advance.

The property was good. However, I would say I would never use Bed-and-Breakfast it again. The website repeatedly asked me to inform the arrival time, so I tried to do that, but the only messaging icon I found on the website for the existing reservation actually made another, unnecessary reservation, which cost me additional euros. The correct way of informing the arrival time turned out to be the SMS with the telephone number shown from the telephone icon. However, for me, the telephone icon should be used for making actual voice calls, rather than a message. The UX needs to be improved. I would use a competitor's service for such booking in the future.

In the central area of Palermo, so convenient for getting around. However, it is unfortunate that the cleanliness is not exactly adequate and that the photos of the rooms are a little "embellished" compared to reality.

It is an apartment with large rooms, finished in a simple but welcoming way, clean, quiet and comfortable, kitchen available, used for the first coffee. The location is definitely strategic (adjacent to Teatro Massimo) and from there it was possible to visit the whole center on foot, Via Maqueda and the characteristic neighborhoods (Vucciria, Ballarò, Borgo Vecchio, la Cala). I happened to be there on the days of the birth of Libero, Paolo the owner's son, who was rightly taken by the most beautiful event in the world and with whom we only spoke on the phone for the necessary instructions; however, Paolo's father was present, a sweet and hospitable person. I hope to return there.

We used 'Bonus vacanze' and the owner has raised the price by 50€ compared to their normal price (which is quite high for what is offered - we found places not far from there at 33€ less per day!). The rooms are a bit spartan, but they are quite clean, the area is really central, but there is no parking (they say: free parking on the street) if you don't follow some strict rules. The owner is willing to help and recommend you some things to see or where to eat, depending on what you need.
stayed from 12/18/2021 to 12/21/2021
The answer from the host:
If you don't pay is free, nothing is strange. The Bonus Vacanze are not money and we can decide how to do with this, if you found an other building 33 € less why you didn't go there maybe they don't accept bonus vacanze? your review is absloutely without any reasoning and you don't accept that nothing is free and we don't work only for your happiness

I recommend staying at this Bed and Breakfast if you are undecided. The hosts, a very friendly and smiling couple, welcomed us very well and gave us excellent directions for our stay. The structure is quite new and well furnished, there is also a large kitchen with everything necessary to consume (if needed) your meals on-site. The rooms are clean and tidy, in the evening when we returned, the bed was even made! I would have never expected it! Very kind! The private bathroom was equipped with towels, soap, shampoo, shower gel, hairdryer, basically everything. Hot water always available. The street below the Bed and Breakfast is very quiet, even though just around the corner (about 100 meters away), the historic center is within easy reach, we walked all over the city thanks to its proximity to all the most beautiful areas of Palermo. The shuttle to/from the airport is also a 10-minute walk away, so I would say it's a convenient location for various reasons. All you have to do is book and enjoy the city.
