palazzo pantaleo

The stay was amazing right from the start. They arranged a pick-up from the airport, which was easy and cost 60 euro's. The taxi took us right to the front door. The room and double bed were both huge and the shower & toilet were also very modern and clean. We also appreciated the lift. Another big plus was the lovely breakfast every morning. The location was perfect with plenty of lovely restaurants and cafe's in the area close by. We did the "No Mafia" tour which we thought was exceptional and only a short walk from our accommodation. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Breakfast - It was varied and delicious. The staff was constantly refreshing the table and there was an abundant selection of the most delicious breakfast foods: Meat, cheese, fresh croissants, orange juice, cereal, milk, and coffee. There was also an apple cake that was so wonderful that we are trying to replicate it at home, but without success so far. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The towels were big and soft. We appreciated the remote control air-conditioning which helped us to sleep well every night. The owner, Giuseppe, accommodated our request for an additional room and answered all of our questions even though he is a very busy man. He seems to work from early in the morning until late at night to make sure that his guests have the best stay possible. By the way, this hotel is just minutes away from all the main attractions but it tucked into a quiet and safe courtyard. It was really the perfect location!

Seven beautiful rooms on the upper floor of a converted palazzio. All rooms face onto quiet courtyards, the main road at that point is also pedestrianised. Entrance is via a private lift which is well hidden, phone Guiseppe who will come down to find you. There is a stop for the airport bus just 100 yards away and the opera and cathedral are 10 and 20 minute walks away, we never used a taxi during a week in Palermo. Breakfast is Italian with breads and cakes, yoghurt and fresh fruit, and slices of ham and cheese. The staff are very helpful and host Guiseppe is a gem. The TV is Italian only but the wifi is strong enough for Sky news etc. A well to do part of Palermo with Prada etc nearby, the greatest danger comes from hordes of electric scooters that plague all of the pedestrianised areas across Palermo - look both ways before crossing junctions.

The location was fantastic! We were a few steps away from a quiet, beautiful pedestrian area with many shops, bars and restaurants. There were 12 gelato shops within a 300 meter radius! Staff was extremely helpful. The room was quiet and spacious. Breakfast was very good, and served in an attractive area. Having an elevator was very helpful for us.

B&B location is very convenient, and less than 5 mins away from the airport limousine bus stop by foot. The owner of the B&B met us personally and upgraded 1 of the rooms to a suite without extra charges. The B&B has lift access, and gates are closed after 8.30pm. Owner will provide instructions on how to operate the lift and gates. The rooms are spacious, though some might feel that the room/furniture looks dated. Mineral water provided in the minibar daily. Breakfast was provided with fresh pastries and fruits daily. Do check out the perfume store "La Profumoteca" right beside the B&B.
