Feel the pulse of old town, Palermo, in this chic B&B! Set in the heart of the city, this beautiful collection of rooms and apartments are divided between two elegantly distinctive palazzos. We like the vibrant designer pieces and decor that mix the best of modern style with the Baroque antiquity of Sicily.
Located in the center of old town Palermo, this distinctive B&B behind Piazza San Domenico places you squarely in the heart of the city. Comprised of two separate palazzos, the stunning 15th-century Baroque hotel houses seven of the eleven rooms with four additional rooms in the neighboring early 20th-century townhouse.
The former home of a noble family, the elaborate history of the palazzo has been fully restored to its former glory with authentic period detail and new modern luxuries. The early 20th-century townhouse is within a couple of minutes' walk and has much of the same personality with imaginative contemporary styling and cheerful refinement.

SICILY'S CAPITAL
Sicily's capital city is a chaotic slightly unpredictable place with several cultural and social influences. Placed perfectly in the heart of the old city, you're at the ideal jumping off point to explore and are just a few minutes walk from either side of Piazza San Domenico and the city’s main street, Via Roma.
A fascinating mix of Roman, Arabian, Baroque, and Norman influences, the city is a melting pot of style and culture. The Vucciria, Ballarò and del Capo street markets are a must, as is the harbor and Foro Italico waterfront with its glittering yachts.
Lined with small beaches in along the Gulf of Mondello, the coastline also includes some of the best on the island including Mondello which is the largest and closest to the city center. Don't miss Cefalu, Isola delle Femmine, San Vito Lo Capo, Aspra, and Arenella about an hour away from Palermo’s city center. Parking is limited and very restrictive in the old town but you'll want to take your time and stroll.
