Guest Reviews
- Ochodková (9/5): -
- Milan (10/5): -
- Angela (9/5): Top hospitality - Definitely the highlight of the place is Anna’s hospitality. The place is as described in the pictures with everything that you need. The location is very central, really nice restaurants to try out around the area and easy to walk to the city center. Easy to arrive from the airport taking the train, then is an easy 5 min walk. The flat has an amazing terrace where you can enjoy the view of Palermo. Nothing comes to mind!
- Толкачева (10/5): Exceptional - Staying at this apartment was absolutely wonderful! The place has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the terrace with a view of Palermo is a huge plus—the scenery is breathtaking ❤️
The location is also excellent: a bus stop nearby takes you to Mondello Beach, and the train station is within easy reach. The city center is just a 15–20 minute walk away.
A special thanks to Anna, who gave us great recommendations on must-visit spots and was always helpful with any questions. She also prepared a delicious Sicilian breakfast—it was amazing! 🥰🥰
I highly recommend this apartment
- Anonymous (10/5): Feels like home🩷 - The best was Anna the host🩷
Beautiful terasse,perfectly equipped kitchen,comfortable bed.
Anna was the best host u could ever wish for,she brought us oranges from her garden,made homemade almond milk🩷was at our disposial for everything,thank you so much! Grazie mille cara Anna🩷
- Grace (10/5): Highly recommend! - A wonderful, quiet hotel with beautiful views and a lovely host who went above and beyond to make our trip great. Would stay again :)
- Łucja (10/5): Would definitely recommend for a stay in Palermo. - Excellent value, a nicely located apartment with an amazing view of Palermo. The host was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!
- Fiorella (9/5): Superb -
- Lisette (9/5): Superb - Anna was wonderfull. Even when we woke her at midnight because of our own stupidity, she stayed friendly and helped us.
She gave us good tips about what to see and to do. She surprised us with cookies and fruit at arrival and during our stay we got coffee and something to snack in.the morning.
- Lodewijk (7/5): Good - Plenty of room, good location Tiny bathroom
- Ervin (9/5): Superb - - very nice view
- housekeeper was very kind - we did not know that there was a second guest there
- Maksymilian (10/5): Great stay :) - It is a large apartment with rooms for rent. The residents do not disturb each other because the common areas are very spacious. Large and well-equipped kitchen. Probably the best view from the large terrace of the whole of Palermo. Ideal for relaxing in the evening and welcoming the day with breakfast on the terrace! The hosts are very hospitable and very helpful. They waited for me with the key and all the instructions. The building is not far from the train stop going from the airport. From the building you can walk to the strict center in a few minutes. On the ground floor there is a cafeteria, around the corner a grocery store and in the area many bars, restaurants and two bakeries. I will definitely come back for another stay in Palermo. None
- Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nikita (9/5): Very good experience with a fantastic host who made us feel welcome and at home. - Beautiful view and cozy atmosphere. Very attentive personable host. She brought us enough food to have a free breakfast with coffee every morning. The location is good, but not perfect. One of the elevators is a bit old (there is another, more modern one), the bathroom is a bit cramped.
- Margot (9/5): Perfect for a city get-away! - Anna was the friendliest host! She gave us lots of sightseeing tips and provided us with a map of the city, even though we were only in Palermo for 2 nights.
The terrace is definitely the biggest plus. The apartment is on the 10th floor, so it's very windy up there. This was a perfect way to cool down on hot summer days.
- Ali (10/5): Exceptional -

- Gunther (10/5): Exceptional - Best B&B in 4 weeks traveling through Italy. Anna & Ugo have been overwhelming. Information about Palermo getting nice little snacks and coffee. The view from the terasse 10 floor just beautiful. parking the motorbike around the corner now problem. All most important view points from palermo you can do by foot. It just like being part of family.
- Sylvia (10/5): Fantastic stay, we’ll be back! - Casa Riccio is the perfect place to stay if you’re a Palermo first-timer looking for a comfortable room in a stunning apartment with the loveliest hosts and want to be close to all the city has to offer. Besides being super easy to get to from the airport (Lolli train stop is a few metres from your front door, even quicker to get to than Central Station) you’re only a short walk away from Politeama, Teatro Massimo, Maqueda Street, Zisa Castle, and much more. The area is also very safe, there’s a pharmacy and supermarket down the road, restaurants and delish breakfast spots - we often walked around until late and never once felt uneasy. Finally, we were blown away by Anna and Ugo’s hospitality and their genuine care towards their guests - you will feel at a home away from home, and I’m sure I’ll be staying here next time I visit Palermo! Nothing.
- Marcela (8/5): Very good - The apartment was fully equipped. Close to the city center. Very nice and big terrace. The bed was quite hard.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Casa Riccio is one of the best accommodations I have ever stayed in. The room was always clean, well-lit, light and airy. The hostess and host were friendly and very helpful. They were always available for advice about places to see and how to get there. It is close to transportation and major shopping and sights. It was truly a pleasure to stay there. I highly recommend Casa Riccio as a wonderful place to stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - B&B in downtown Palermo, 10 minutes walk from the heart of the city. Located on the top floor of a 10-storey building, superb view on the city from the balcony and the rooms. Friendly owners live next door.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good location - B&B NOT a hotel - A private bathroom was advertised, this turned out to mean we had sole use of a bathroom across the corridor, we were not expecting this. The owners refer to this place as a B&B, however we were expecting a hotel. The breakfast is great if you have a sweet tooth as everything is exceptionally sweet, no cheese or sliced meats That said, the location for us was great, 30 mins walk to the place & cathedral, owners were very friendly and helpful
- Kathy (10/5): A Quaint Place To Stay - This is a terrific buy with historic charm. The host, Anna, is very helpful and wants to make sure your needs are met. Comes with breakfast and no charge for WiFi. It also was modernized but still carries charm. A very special place to stay on the top floor of a residential building near the Nortabartolo Train Station. Don't pass this one up.
- Hamed (10/5): - We had a great stay. Nice staff and breakfast, the WIFI was a bit slow though.
- Mathias (10/5): - Rummet var rymligt, rent och badrummet var kanon. Läget var jättebra med många transport möjligheter i närområdet. Personalen är fantastisk och hjälper till med allt.
- Verified traveler (8/5): This is a charming hotel pretty well located. -
The owners of the hotels are running it in a very friendly way to the customers. They are keen about your well being and your safety and this is an immense plus.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff very kind and cooperative.
The hotel' position is good and served by transport.
We recommend strongly.
- Alexía (10/5): Loved Casa Riccio - Awesome place, clean and a good location. Besides that mrs Riccio was extremely accomodating: she picked us up from the bus stop, provided us with all the information we needed and was the perfect host.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft unweit der Altstadt. Die Besitzerin ist sehr aufmerksam, hat uns immer Tips für Besichtigungen, Busverbindungen und alles andere gegeben. Die Aussicht vom Balkon über Stadt, Meer und Berge ist traumhaft. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und können Casa Riccio nur weiter empfehlen.
- Mattia (10/5): Location ottima personale squisito. - Casa Riccio si trova all'ultimo piano di uno dei palazzi più alti della città, dalla sua terrazza panoramica quasi nulla intralcerà la vostra vista che potrà spaziare su tutta la città fino al mare; tuttavia la parte migliore della struttura sono i signori Riccio, sempre disponibili ci hanno consigliato cosa visitare, che mezzi prendere e tanto altro ancora. Tutte le mattine ci siamo seduti con loro a colazione per chiacchierare sulla nostra giornata. Consiglio assolutamente la struttura.
- David (10/5): - A real Sicilian experience. The owner is a lovely lady who made sure our holiday was perfect.
- Verified traveler (2/5): Avoid at all cost! Stay somewhere else. - We booked four nights at Casa Riccio - the inital arrival was difficult as the host wanted to know the exact time of our arrival (and charges extra 15 Euros for late arrival).
The stay was incredibly disappointing. We stayed with 9 university students who were the other guests. They were noisy and not accomodating at all. The host should inform people if she has long term guests who treat the B&B like home.
We were offered breakfast with the booking, however when we arrived this was not honoured. After a disagreement with the host about the breakfast she agreed to include breakfast, however on the second day of our stay we were not offered breakfast as asked to pay for the first breakfast. This made for a very uncomfortable stay. We also requested two beds and were only provided with one on arrival. The bathroom is also not ensuite. Wifi is not great. The hosts are not accomodating at all, and require payment for everything (including tea, coffee, late check-in). Would definitely not recommend this place to anyone. Far from the city centre, in a very old building. If you can stay anywhere else, I suggest you do so. Very disappointing indeed. :(
- Verified traveler (6/5): Accueil très chaleureux - Anna nous accueille presque comme des amis, très discrète et aux petits soins. Les chambres, très propres mais salle de bain (une par chambre) mais dans le couloir. On peut être surpris par cette conception d'hôtel, en effet il se trouve au 10 e étage d'un immeuble avec une vue magnifique sur Palerme, mais pour nous est plus proche de la chambre d'hôte. Ça ne lui enlevé pas on côté pratique de l'hôtel. Nous nous sommes senti très bien. Merci Anna, Rosanna, Hugo
- Jürgen (10/5): Room with a view - In der 10. Etage eines Hochhauses. Wunderbarer Blick über Palermo und den Hafen.
Tolle, sehr persönliche Gastgeberinnen. Immer für Tipps und Gespräche offen.
- Verified traveler (8/5): B&B with a great view - The Riccios run a B&B that has 6 rooms for guests. Located on the 10th floor of an apartment building, it has sweeping views from its verandah across the city and down to the port. The Riccios are hospitable and helpful. The breakfast is distinctly Sicilian with an emphasis on Sicilian pastries and fresh orange juice. The bed was OK and the shower could have functioned better. Overall, well located and well hosted.
- Expedia (8/5): Super accueil et chambre confortable - On a été très bien accueilli depuis notre arrivée jusqu'au départ.
Le petit déjeuné était excellent et convivial.
La chambre était confortable, avec un salle de bain privée, très propre.
Nous avons pu découvrir la ville grace aux supers conseils et recommandations de nos charmants hotes, que nous remercions et qui ont égayé notre séjour.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nettes B&B mit toller Aussicht und guter Lage - Wir sind (wie vom Management der Casa Riccio empfohlen) sehr unkompliziert vom Flughafen Palermo mit einem shared Taxi (7€ pP) angereist. Dort wurden wir, wie vorab vereinbart, von Rosanna in Empfang genommen. Sie ist sehr freundlich und bemüht, spricht hervorragend englisch und hat uns gleich ein paar Tipps zur Stadt gegeben (Restaurants, Märkte, Busse, Züge, Strände, Sightseeing,...). Die Zimmer haben eine angemessene Größe und sind sehr sauber. Natürlich ist das Interieur nicht mehr das neueste, aber so ist Palermo eben. Diesen speziellen Charme muss man mögen bzw sollte man sich einfach darauf einlassen. Das WLAN hat sehr gut funktioniert und auch die Klimaanlage war in Ordnung. Die Unterkunft befindet sich im 10. Stock und bietet von der schönen Terrasse einen beeindruckenden Blick über Stadt, Meer und Berge. Das Frühstück ist palermitanisch/Italienisch, dh sehr süß, was für Nordeuropäer durchaus gewöhnungsbedürftig sein kann. Wer gut und günstig bei netten Menschen leben will, der hat hier die richtige Unterkunft gefunden.
- Henrik (8/5): - Great hotel in the centre of Palermo. Nice and helpful staff with good knowledge and great tips on what to do and where to go.
- audrey (8/5): Hotel confortable et chaleureux - Nous avons séjourné une semaine à Palerme à l'hotel casa riccio. Ce fut un séjour très agréable. L'hotel est bien situé dans la ville. Le personnel est très accueillant et disponible pour toute demande. La chambre fut très confortable et l'hotel est très propre. Nous avions une chambre qui donnait accès à une grande terrasse, accessible à tous, avec une superbe vue panoramique de la capitale. Le matin le petit déjeuner est compris dans le prix. Nous recommandons donc cet hotel qui nous a donné entière satisfaction tant au niveau de la qualité que du prix.
