About

Bella Palermo

Bella Palermo is a small bed and breakfast set in a historic building on Via Filippo Corazza, in the heart of Palermo. The property keeps things personal: a handful of rooms, a shared kitchen, and a leafy patio where guests can eat outside. It's the kind of place where the host greets you by name and points you to the trattorias he'd go to himself.

The location is the other big draw. Ballarò market is a six-minute walk away, and the train station is close enough to reach on foot with luggage. Rooms are spacious, with high ceilings and period details like painted ceilings, and the communal areas are kept spotless. It's simple, well-run, and honest.

“Giacomo, the host, was helpful and quick to respond. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with a lovely bathroom and a small patio. The shared kitchen with coffee and tea was a nice touch, and complimentary drinks in the fridge were a pleasant surprise. Location is fantastic, close to the station and local spots serving authentic Sicilian food.”
