Arimatea Accommodations

Loved the location. Beppe so accommodating. Considering so central was very quiet. Nice bowl of fruit and water in fridge. Very clean. cute little side street right by main attractions and nightlife very close by. An ideal choice

Excellent location! Right in the centre, but because it’s on a side street it’s very quiet. Beppe was an amazing host, very welcoming and friendly, and happy to provide suggestions for places to visit and eat. I will definitely stay again!

My husband and I enjoyed a delightful four-night stay at the Arimatea. Having visited Italy on numerous occasions and stayed in various accommodations across the country, we possess a basis for comparison. I must express that the Arimatea not only met but exceeded all of my expectations, providing a truly exceptional experience. Situated along a calm, historic local street, the Arimatea boasts a great location, with proximity to main avenues and key historical sites within the city. Our Oriental room, overlooking the Salvatore Church and the charming local quarter, was cozy and comfortable. The attention to detail was remarkable – from the fully stocked amenities upon our arrival (including water, coffee capsules for the excellent coffee machine, fresh fruits, biscuits, muesli, cutlery, cups etc.) to the meticulously maintained interior. Every facet of the room, including the shower, toilet, air conditioning, refrigerator, and Wi-Fi connectivity, functioned just perfectly. Regular cleaning was executed diligently, leaving no room for hygiene concerns. Furthermore, Beppe, the owner of the Arimatea, is an excellent host. You can easily talk to him, and he responds to messages really fast. He is always ready to help you out in any way possible, just feel free to ask him - I am quite confident he will do his utmost to assist you. He knows a lot about Palermo since he was born and raised there. He can help you with advice about your plans, like how to easily see historical sites and enjoy the sea without a car. He is also knowledgeable about local food, and most importantly, he is an architect who can tell you about the city's history and culture. His suggestions helped us discover hidden gems that most tourists don't know about. In short, I would give more than 10 points to Arimatea if I could. Palermo is an incredible multilayered city with many stories to share, and I am glad we visited it and stayed at such a welcoming place.

There is absolutely nothing to complain about.

The space is very fun and clean and in an excellent location, and “Uncle Beppe” is hilarious and so kind and considerate!

Great location in the heart of Palermo and our wonderful host Beppe was gracious, communicative and helpful.

First of all, Beppe is a great host. Caring, funny, and respectful, he makes things easier all along the stay.The room and bathroom are great, clean, quiet, and u get pastries, sicilian candy, and coffee... amazing. The location is good and safe. I recommend 100%!

Fantastic host, central location

The location is great - right in the city centre, but on a side street, so it’s actually quiet in the room. The host, Beppe, was very welcoming and had not only some soft drinks, but also a bowl of sweets and fruit for us, which worked perfectly with the 1st espresso after our arrival. :) In general, Beppe was always very responsive and helpful, especially helping us switch to a studio apartment from a shared flat due to an error on Booking’s side. The room was spacious enough, constantly kept clean, the shower facilities were modern. The room itself was very nicely decorated, one could see that every detail was well thought of, everything arranged with a lot of care and personality, contrary to the usual tourist accommodation. It felt nice to get back after a busy day and relax. In general, good value for money, an overall pleasant stay at a great location. We only ever used a bus once to go to the Capuchins tombs, everything else in the city center was a max. of 25 min walk. Can recommend!

This did not bother us, but something to keep in mind is that there are quite some stairs to climb (they are more stable than they look from the 1st sight though).
