Guest Reviews
- Ann (10/5): - This B&B was absolutely wonderful! Daniella great us upon check in, and sat down with us to explain the areas around the B&B, and show us the high points of what not to miss, since it was our first trip to Palermo. All of the staff were so helpful and kind - can't say enough. The room was very nice. All in all, a fabulous stay within easy walking distance to the Ballero Market ( a must see and experience!), the famous four corners and everything that bustling Palermo has to offer. Parking was easy, which is a definite plus. Highly recommend - we would stay there again in a heartbeat!!!
- Lorraine (10/5): - Lovely hotel, gorgeous decor ,great location
- Sergio (10/5): - The property exceeded our expectations, it’s more of a hotel rather than a bed and breakfast. The room and property was excellent, the staff superb and the breakfast was delicious and plentiful. When we checked in the hostess Daniela took the opportunity to provide us with a map and highlighted key sites to visit and appropriate walking distance, this was extremely useful. We would highly recommend this location for exploring Palermo.
- Elaine (10/5): - Quiet oasis, great for foodies wanting to explore the markets. Loved the styling and space.
- Dianne (10/5): - This property is in the heart of everything… we were the crazy Americans that rented a car a drove it to this property. We made it but extremely stressful and unless you are an experienced driver for very narrow alleyway and pedestrian all over the road I highly recommend not driving… fortunately there is a parking lot and we parked our car until we left the property. The stay was awesome you are located in the best for walking everywhere. The staff were amazing. Room was nice a few steps to climb but not an issue if you are use to steps. Great place to get and the market is fantastic. We enjoyed our visit and highly recommend…
- Linda W (10/5): Fabulous stay! - The hotel was amazing and the staff couldn’t have done more to make it a fantastic stay!
- Maria Beatriz (10/5): Orima localização e atendimento - A localização é excelente. A Donna nos atendeu com muita simpatia e também uma linda ragazza da recepção que fala espanhol e nos deixou bem à vontade. Recebemos um upgrade no check-in. Enfim, agradecemos bastante por todo o acolhimento e gentilezas.
- Mia (10/5): Lovely oasis - Really lovely little gem in the heart of Palermo. Lovely gardens, breakfast and staff, would highly recommend it!
- Leif Ove (10/5): Amazing - Amazing little hotel with a amazing personal. I loved it. Just book if you want a cosy little hotel in Palermo.
- Dawn (10/5): Calm Hotel in the Chaos of the City - As we jostled our way through the chaotic Palermo food market under the blazing heat, we could not believe it when we opened the heavy wooden doors into the oasis of cool calm of the hotel. Daniella had fantastic customer service sharing us with us info on the hotel and then a printed map with an explanation of the layout of the city of Palermo. Our room in the attic was perfect and we loved the decor a combination of Tunisian and Italian, The hotel organised us a taxi for our airport transfer and as we had an early start a packed breakfast was delivered to the room
- Elizabeth (10/5): - I would thoroughly recommend this B&B. The staff are amazing and couldn't do enough for you. Our room was lovely and the breakfast was 10 out 10. It would definitely stay here again. It's so close to shops, restaurants and all the sights. Aurora, Daniella, Donna and Paulo thank you for a wonderful stay.
- Hélène (10/5): - Accueil exceptionnel et attentionné Chambre spacieuse et confortable
- Thomas (10/5): - Beautiful interior. Fantastic staff. Aurora is very attentive and helpful! Large rooms. Nicely decorated.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful stay - Highly recommend. We had two wonderful days in Palermo and best stay with everything on our doorstep.
- rich (10/5): - Outstanding in every way. One of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in. Staff goes out of their way to insure everything is just right
- JAC (10/5): Top hotel - Excellent stay. Very nice hotel and close to everything and very gentle. You feel at home and the rooms and hotel is very cosy and nicely decorated.
- Fischer (8/5): - Zentrale Lage, freundliches Personal
- Verified traveler (8/5): - super mooi en midden in palermo makkelijk te vinden en prima service
- Verified traveler (4/5): - In fairness, we literally only slept there, and only for 1 night. Still, its in a rough neighborhood, we felt compelled to take a taxi home at yhe end of the evening and the room had NO windows. The common areas were pleasant enough. When we arrived, the greeting at the front desk was not particularly nice.
- Jacqueline (8/5): - Dans un quartier populaire à 2 pas de tout, un établissement charmant, un personnel efficace et pro, seul bémol, chambre un peu sombre et forte odeur de remontée d'égout dans la salle de bain
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Cadre tres agréable, calme et chaleureux. Superbe accueil. Je recoppande tres fortement.
- Ron (10/5): - The hotel is extremely convenient to all the major attractions in Palermo. We also felt that the staff was especially friendly and helpful. Parking is available in a public square nearby which at first appeared to be somewhat risky, but we had no issues with it. The breakfast buffet was excellent.
- Z (10/5): Beauty in the Historic District - Beautiful and comfortable B&B, with a wonderful staff.
- Françoise G (10/5): Un bijou de B&B! - Nous avons passé trois nuits dans ce B&B et nous avons beaucoup aimé. Très bon accueil en anglais par Ludovica et Aurora, deux jeunes femmes charmantes, serviables et toujours souriantes. Au rez de chaussée, de jolis meubles avec de nombreuses décorations en céramique colorée et artistique. Chambre confortable et décor soigné et original. Petit déjeuner buffet copieux. Bien situé dans le centre historique. La liste des restaurants recommandés est très utile et à suivre.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - HOTEL MOLTO CARINO E CONFORTEVOLE
- David (6/5): Nice but falls far short of ideal - The best thing about the hotel is the enthusiasm and helpfulness of it's young staff. We stayed in early December and the weather was cold and with occasional rain. Although the entrance off the street is spacious and welcoming the large reception areas were unheated in spite of there being an open but unlit fire. The bedroom too was dark and chilly. Warmth...especially a lit fire in cold weather, and a towel rail to dry out wet clothing, better lighting, and a little more luxury such as fluffy towels, real soap, extra bedding for cold weather, and real Orange juice at breakfast would make this into a lovely central place to stay
- Heather (10/5): Fabulous! - Gorgeous ancient bakery renovated into a fabulous B&B in the old part of Palermo within walking distance of all the must-see sights. Near the vibrant Ballaro market & some wonderful coffee & street food places. Welcoming, helpful & friendly staff who provided maps & verbal info without being asked. They also gave us much needed refreshment on arrival after a hot stuffy 4hr train journey from Messina. Great breakfasts, clean comfortable & quiet rooms with lots of character & a courtyard garden. This was my absolute favourite accomodation in 6wks of travel in Italy. Get a taxi there from the railway station as old Palermo is a labyrinth & it would be difficult to find this place on foot. Once you're there it's fine & easy to wander from & return to. Tip: barter the taxi down to €12 if you can. They start at €20!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Moyen! - Hôtel mignon. Bien situé pour visiter le vieux Palerme. Personnel plaisant et agréable. Internet fonctionne dans notre petite chambre mais pas dans le magnifique salon d'entrée donc beaucoup de fauteuil confortable mais.....
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We were welcomed by a very friendly staff, even though they had to wait for us since we arrived later than announced. The journey was very stressful but we felt that we could relax from the moment we stepped in. Spacious bright rooms. The garden is beautifully lush for your tasty breakfast. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. And our little son enjoyed the stay as much as we did.
- David (10/5): Comfortable & Clean B&B L - Though our stay was rather short and we did not get to enjoy all the aspects of this B&B we were very impressed with the overall quality and comfort of the room. The location of the B&B is rather hidden away but easy enough to find with GPS and we found free parking right outside. Once you step inside the lobby its very peaceful and tranquil. We were promptly checked in by reception and shown to our room. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable and the only negative thing I can say is that the AC wasn't as cool as desired but other than that it was perfect. Unfortunately we had to depart before breakfast so we did not get to enjoy that or the lovely garden out back. Highly recommend for the property itself and we were recommended to a lovely restaurant around the corner called Al Fondaco Del Conte, which was a great meal! Hotel was within walking distance of all the main sights!
- Therese (10/5): Great service and great location! - We had a great stay at Il Giardino di Ballarò. The location is perfect on a genuin sicilian street and it is walking distance to everything. The girls at the reception and the breakfast were all very service minded and helpful with advices to sightseeing and restaurants. The breakfast in the garden was really nice and it feels like a very good value for the money to stay here. I can definitely recommend it!
- Agnes (10/5): Kleine Oase inmitten des Stadttrubels - Kleine Oase inmitten des Stadttrubels.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful setting in central location - The staff was extremely helpful, offering suggestions about dining options, assistance with urban transportation/directions, and other kinds of support.
- Jill (10/5): - A lovely hotel right in the heart of the real Palermo.
- David (10/5): A little bit of Heaven - Short stay before flying home, the B & B was excellent and the location was good for exploring the old part of the city but the immediate surroundings took some getting used too, but we encountered no problems.
- gianni (8/5): nel pieno della casbah - il B&B corrisponde perfettamente alle descrizioni fornite: è un vero gioiello all'interno di un quartiere famoso per le sue particolarità e per i suoi eccessi. personale gentilissimo, disponibilissimo e competente, arredi di gusto e molto eleganti, camera accogliente e sufficientemente spaziosa. bene anche la colazione, ricca e servita in una sala molto accogliente. poi metti il naso fuori dalla porta e ti ritrovi a Beirut appena dopo un bombardamento... ma non è certo colpa dei gestori se la zona è così! noi siamo stati molto bene per tre notti, ma sinceramente il rientro in hotel dopo le 22 ci metteva un po' di ansia.
- Claire (10/5): Court et extraordinaire séjour à Palerme - Court et extraordinaire séjour à Palerme dans un lieu enchanteur.
- Yves (10/5): Un petit nid douillet - Dans ce PALERME animé et surchauffé, cet hôtel est un hâvre de paix ; on rentre et c'est le calme, très joliment décoré ; prendre la chambre IL GIARDINO qui donne dans le jardin auquel on accède par un petit escalier ; juste devant notre porte-fenêtre, il y a un immense bananier ; en fin d'après-midi, on peut se prélasser dans le jardin ; il y a fauteuils et relax, en dégustant une boisson fraîche ; et, le matin, on déjeune, sous les bananiers ; Tout est parfait ; et, le soir, à 20 m, on peut souper au restaurant. Un grand merci à tout le personnel ; hôtel proche de tous les sites importants à visiter ; si l'on a besoin d'un taxi : on demande à la réception, et il arrive aussitôt. Bref, nous avons arpenté PALERME de long en large, et avons adoré, et nous recommandons cet hôtel à 100/100.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Eine ideale Unterkunft in Palermo! Ruhige Lage, üppiges Frühstück, netter Service und W-Lan Empfang im Zimmer.
- Zippy (10/5): A boutique hotel and a warm welcome! - Il Giardino di Ballarò is a small boutique hotel located right in the center of the old, historic part of Palermo not more than a 10 min walk from most of the sights. It is a very cozy and modern accommodation, and has a lot of character. We felt very welcomed as soon as we walked in - the staff is very welcoming and friendly, offered us refreshments and then provided us with a lot of useful sightseeing and dinning tips. Nice breakfast that you can have inside or in the outdoor private garden. A lovely quiet place to stay in a busy city!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Un havre de paix dans le vieux Palerme - Nous avons séjourné 4 nuits dans ce B&B du vieux Palerme. A l'arrivée dans une rue étroite et bruyante, typique de la vieille ville, nous avons découvert une maison fraîche et accueillante, à la décoration originale, et qui s'est avérée très tranquille, ouverte sur un petit jardin. Nous y avons trouvé un accueil chaleureux. De là nous avons pu facilement visiter à pied tous les superbes sites de la ville. Tout à côté, le pittoresque marché de Ballaro vous offre de multiples possibilités pour prendre des repas simples et délicieux, à un prix peu élevé. Ayant eu des problèmes d'avion pour le retour, l'aide de Ludovica (adorable) a été plus que remarquable. Nous recommandons aussi le service du très gentil chauffeur agréé du B&B pour regagner l'aéroport, à 35 euros seulement.
- Verified traveler (10/5): wunderschönes Ambiente - Große und angenehme Überraschung nach einer abenteuerlichen Fahrt durch enge und teilweise sehr schmutzige Gassen. Das Hotel kann man nur weiterempfehlen, das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Zimmmer sind recht interessant eingerichtet wie übrigens das gesamte Hotel. Das Ambiente ist wirklich schön; toll, was man aus einem alten Pferdestall machen kann! Frühstück ist sehr reichhaltig und wunderschön präsentiert. Die Zimmer sind ruhig und gräumig. Altstadt ist fußläufig bestens zu erreichen.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfectly placed bed and breakfast - Lovely B and B in a great location. Really handy for station, all sights etc. Enjoyed staying in the Ballaro area.
- Frank Chailey (10/5): Calm stay in busy Palermo - Il Giardino di Ballarò,is right in the center of the historic part of Palermo not more than a 10 min walk from most of the sights its lovely calm place to stay in a busy city.Breakfast is nice and there is a wide choice.The staff are all excellent and one of the best things we did was a shop and cook morning with one of them they laid a table in the garden for us to eat our fresh lunch. They reccomended good places to eat local.The best to our taste was at Da Carlo`s we went there 3times 5 Stars excellent and good value wine and meals 56-80 euro.Reccomened plus***
- steve (10/5): Great location and staff - My title says it all. Great restaurant recommendations, in old town clean and quiet.
- Joyce (10/5): A boutique bed and breakfast with a lot character! - Bed & Breakfast Il Giardino di Ballarò locates in the old town of Palermo. It is a very cozy and modern accommodation yet has a lot of character to it. It was once a stables then it turned into bakery and now a boutique bed and breadfast. I felt very comfortable and welcomed as soon as we walked in the Bed and Breakfast. We arrived Palermo early in the morning from overnight ferry from Naples. We arrived at Bed & Breakfast Il Giardino di Ballarò at 7am, no room was available for us as we were very early. We were offered for breakfast and coffee when we arrived. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, they provided us with a lot of useful travel tips. We had a very wonderful stay in Bed & Breakfast Il Giardino di Ballarò.
- Raquel (10/5): Un paraiso dentro de Palermo - El mejor B&B en el que nos hemos alojado. Maravilloso desayuno en el patio. Habitaciones muy limpias, todo muy nuevo. Las chicas de recepción super majas, nos llamaron para alquilar un coche. Un 10l
- Verified traveler (10/5): Überraschung - Sehr schöne, große Unterkunft, die in dieser Lage nicht zu erwarten ist. Gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Die Umgebung ist nicht sehr einladend. Am Abend abgeschieden, Taxi ist zu empfehlen. Um die Ecke befindet sich ein ebenfalls neu eröffnetes Restaurant, das zu empfehlen ist. Eingeschränkte Parkmöglichkeiten. Sehr freundliches Personal.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Soggiorno incantevole - Ben ristrutturato, curato ed arredato, il B&B è un luogo delizioso per una sosta palermitana. Nel cuore del vivo quartiere di Ballaró, il soggiorno è trascorso in un contesto pacato ed immerso nella quiete dell'incantevole giardino.
- Michael (10/5): Très bel endroit - Situé dans un quartier "très populaire", le B&B rassure ensuite par son niveau d'excellence en terme d'accueil, décoration et propreté. très central pour visiter le centre historique de palerme, parfait.
- Verified traveler (8/5): good - a good B and B , nice area and nice helpful staff
- Julie (10/5): Lovely oasis centrally located - Welcoming peaceful helpful and very pleasant bnb close to most sights in Palermo. Highly recommended.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautifully renovated building and a warm welcome - We appreciated the friendly hospitality, beautiful building, comfortable and elegant lobby with a nice wood fire on chilly evenings, peaceful courtyard on a warm afternoon, central location and recomendations for restaurants in the area.
- Verified traveler (10/5): close to sights, great service - Il Giardino was really nice, clean, secure. Bathroom was newly updated. We stayed in Palermo just for the night - visited the markets and saw some of the sites in the evening. The staff was really helpful, especially when we had to rearranged our trip because of the weather. Breakfast is great - you can smell the cornetti baking when you come down the stairs.
- Smoke (8/5): Good location - The hotel is in an old building but is modern and stylish. Rooms are comfortable and staff are very friendly. Free wifi
