Staying at this B&B gives you the option of being within easy walking distance of the tourist herding zones without having to fully stay within them. It's easy to get access to the major bus lines (although the trams will be a hike), there's plenty of food in the area, you're right next to the harbor, and the room itself is very nicely rendered and maintained: the only real flaw is not having an outlet near the desk. It takes multiple keys to get in -- four in total -- but the owner has taken the unusually sensible step of numbering them for you. And if you can read Italian, there's a lovely little library section on the second level. This is not only a good central base of operations for Palermo, but also offers the option of retreat when the tourist portions turn too noisy. Would absolutely stay here again.

Communication difficulties

We arrived at the B & B at about 5pm and there was no one to answer the door bell. We later found an email from the owner asking us to phone him with our ETA, but we could not receive this email without WIFI, which in turn required us to be in the property.. Fortuitously, a friend of the owner saw our predicament and let us into the B & B. We recommend that any email asking for an ETA be sent to guests 24 hours in advance. We found the breakfast very basic compared with other B & B's visited by us in Sicily

Little gem of a place

Friendly, relaxed stay for 3 nights. Staff were just lovely, couldn't be more helpful. Clean, large room with a view out over the street, but still quiet. It was a little bit out of the main town, about a 25 minute walk to the train station, but there is an airport bus stop just a 5 minute walk away, and all the sights are walkable - Palermo isn't a large city. Breakfast was usual Italian fare, plenty to start the day, and great strong coffee to wake you up! Great choice of restaurants and bars nearby too. Would definitely recommend.

Härligt boende till bra pris

Fantastiska värdar som pratade mycket bra engelska, läget är perfekt med gångavstånd till i stort sett allt som kan vara av intresse. Ovan samt att det hela bokades till ett väldigt överkomligt pris gör att jag om jag besöker Palermo igen så kommer jag med största sannorlikhet att bo här.

The property was located in a convenient area, within walking distance to the main markets, other sights, and the airport bus stop. The host was kindly enough to arrange check-in at a time convenient to us, and the communication was smooth. The room itself was large, but the mattress felt a bit old. We loved the balcony and the view it offered. The breakfast spread was good! We also appreciated the elevator, a rare amenity in older European buildings.

Palermo History

Palazzo Benso is a great 19th century historic building with the flavor of Palermo. Beautiful interior and fixtures. Comfortable bed, perfect for us. Breakfast is lovely with a nice variety of treats. The hosts, Germano and Maria Giovanna, are very gracious and helpful with our Italian language learning process. The location is in the heart of the city with nearby historic sites and great beauty. Interacting with people of Palermo was a wonderful experience.

B&B in centro citta

Stanza ampia, letto molto confortevole e molto buona la conessione wifi. Ha un piccolo terrazo esterno, molto buono l'isolamento dal esterno mentre che dal interno non tanto. Ogni mattina c'era una colazione buona con materia prima di eccelente qualita anche se si puo migliorare. Ogni mattina trovavo il letto stirato, punto. Si vedeva che era stato fatto di corsa o con poca cura. La padrona di casa molto gentile ed anche lui ma non mi è piaciutto trovarlo una mattina leggendo il giornale in sala di collazione guardando un po tutto e tutti, metteva un po a disagio. Ho potuto lasciare il bagaglio a mano fino alla mia partenza ed questo è un valore aggiunto.
