NOTHING! It’s close to a train station, that’s it. Other than that, THIS HOTEL WILL SCAM YOU. I was supposed to say there March 15th - March 18th of 2024. However, after being scammed by false advertising, racially discriminated against, and called the N-word in Italian, I had to check out of that terrible place on March 16th. They also refused to refund any of my money after lying to my face saying that they would if Booking.com allowed it. When Booking.com contacted the property to request my refund for the days I would no longer be staying there, Alesea and Rafael/Stage told them no. Alesea was the woman who called me a N-word.

Edgy and eclectic, Palermo is a symbol of all that Sicily stands for. From buzzing Vespas to the bustling Vucciria market, it simply brims with life.
Wonderful Palermo Cathedral glows radiantly in the Mediterranean sun. Nearby is the city’s last Sicilian Puppet Theater, and across the street is a palm-filled park housing Roman mosaics, though the best are in the archeological museum. At one end is the Norman Palace, a government building home to the fabulous Cappella Palatina, whose gold mosaics are absolutely breathtaking.
Equally magnificent are the gold mosaics lining the 12th-century Monreale Cathedral on the city’s outskirts. Wander the cloisters and note the varying columns and capitals – each pair is different.
Palermo also has fascinating churches: 2 of the oldest are 12th-century San Giovanni degli Eremeti and San Cataldo, each with red, Islamic-style domes. Gesú Church has an incredible Sicilian Baroque interior, while La Martorana’s frescoes are awe-inspiring. A street away is Quattro Canti, an intersection with a fountain in each corner.
Other attractions include the round Teatro Massimo, Mondello beach and Monte Pellegrino mountain overlooking the sea. You get fabulous views of this picnic spot as you fly into Palermo Airport before heading to your Booking.com accommodations.
At first, it was a great shock entering the city. So dirty, full of garbage and food waste in the streets. We saw people sleeping on the mattress in front of the church. Nobody cleans after dogs, and even after horses that take tourists for a ride in a carriage.
For dining, we took a wrong turn from the central squre and went down Via Vittorio Emmanuelle in direction of the sea. Wich was a mistake. Lot of fast food eateries, offering more or less same bad menu.
Next 2 days we discovered there are good restaurants (like Salina on Via Maqueda) offering fresh fish, sea shels, shrimps and lobsters. And even street food dining can be a treat (like in Ciurma, again on Via Maqueda). Slowly we started appreciating the charm of the city and it's inhabitants. We had a good time after all.

It was a great stay and I'm happy that I did so.
It was a great stay and I'm happy that I did so. I stayed for one week.
It was pretty. Beautiful buildings. Great food.
But it was also very dirty, it often smelled bad, sightings like the Vucciria or the markets looked much nicer in the promotion pictures, there was no real promenade and I expected the downtown area to be much bigger and to offer more things to do and to see tbh.
Funny side "story":
Got chatted up five times by Italian men, everytime asking me, if I would know where the next Tabacco Shop would be. No matter what you answer they immediately introduce themselves to you with name, age, profession, asking you, where you come from and no matter what you say, they have been there or plan to go there, next month, this year, next year. They all said that it's "good luck" or "common" or "just polite" to ask you for your number or invite you for drinks or dinner. FIVE TIMES, SAME CONVERSATION! At least three wearing wedding rings.
Maybe there's a podcast with the newest trick to chat up women they all follow 😄

A city of friendly people, beautiful, but often run down, historical architecture, many dining options, crazy drivers, lively night life, graffiti and litter (sadly both everywhere).
Well worth a visit. Handy base for doing trips to other places of interest like Cefalu.

Great architecture and food.
Great architecture and food. Mondello beach is fabulous and monte pellogrino is a fun climb. The buses are awful or don’t seem to exist except for the 101/2/4, the 806 to mondello, and the 812 to monte pellogrino - trying to cross the city east/west is seemingly impossible by bus!

There is so much history and beautiful architecture in Palermo and you would need to stay a long time to visit every Church,Museum and tourist site.Generally the local people are very helpful and warm.Like any big city there is a litter problem and quite a lot of grafitti but the beauty of everything else makes up for those issues I think.The public transport is good allowing visits to other parts of the island easy without a car for example Mondello Beach,Cefalu,Monreale just for starters.This is my fourth trip to Sicily and it will not be my last.Was lucky to get tickets for the opera which was beautiful.

A city full of character and history.
A city full of character and history. There are so many cafes & restaurants, one is spoilt for choice. The main attractions are in a pedestrian zone, apart from the odd scooter or horse & cart, so very safe to walk for miles. Any angst of crime should be put to rest, it felt a very safe place to be.
Tourism has given the city a huge boost: Whether churches, cathedrals, Royal Palaces or Opera house - culture is abundant. It was also easy to take a train to Cefalu ( a nice beach location ) . Highly recommended for a long weekend break.
We stayed here a couple of days with our two kids. This modern first floor apartment in a typical “palazzo” is very spacious and well furnished with many details. The rooms have balconies overseeing Via Vittorio Emanuele (lively pedestrian street with plenty of shops, bars, restaurants…). The location is perfect to visit Palermo historical center on foot. The host was very helpful and did everything to make our stay to our liking and needs. We felt very welcomed. It was a perfect start of our holidays in Sicily.
The best breakfast we had in Italy. Every morning, the host prepared a fresh homemade breakfast and also took into account any allergies of other guests.
The room was spacious, clean and cozy. The B&B is located near to the train station and in the middle of a tourist area with many nice restaurants and views.
The host was exceptional: When I got ill during my stay, she even contacted a doctor, translated for us and helped us buy medicine.
If we return to Palermo, for sure we will be staying here again!
The place is OK, it's comfortable. The room is spacious, the bathroom is huge. We encountered all we needed for a 2-day stay. I enjoyed the little balcony.
IMHO the strongest point about Belle Arti is the location, very near the center, still very quiet, and we felt safe (contrary to other time we stayed in Palermo, we go once in a while since we moved to Sicily 3 years ago). You're inside the Capo quartier, so Mercato del Capo is a stone's throw away.
My best friend and I visited for my birthday and had the absolute best time! We picked the hotel based on the reviews and were absolutely delighted with our stay. This is a fantastic hotel, the staff, the rooms, the location, the whole experience is 5 star. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious, dinner recommendation from the hotel manager was excellent.
I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough for if you’re considering a stay in Palermo!
Owner Graziella help coordinate meeting with ancestral family that still lived in Sicily/Palermo/Alia. She also insured we new how to get to lankmarks and cafes/street food. It was a great experience and she spoke good English.
The room needs a power outlet near the desk. I had to hijack the tv outlet. The desk lamp outloet did not work well. Almost every B&B I stay in has this issue.
Great experience and would recommend this B & B.
This apartment is very large and comfortable. It's located in the main area of Palermo on a busy street, which is a lot of fun to explore and convenient for visiting surrounding towns/beaches. The apartment was very clean, and the host was EXCEPTIONAL in his helpfulness. We had never been to Sicily, and he happily answered all of our questions and did his best to assist whenever possible. I would highly recommend this apartment!
The staff were amazing. They helped organize our taxis upon arrival and for day trips. Massimo and Alessio were very informative and gave tips of different places to visit throughout Palermo. They were extremely kind and welcoming! And the location was perfect !!! Close to the train station as well as in the city centre near all the action. The B&B also had breakfast every morning which was delicious and classic for Sicily.
Laura and Mirko were wonderful hosts. Always checking in that everything was going well and providing wonderful advice on the best local places. The B&B is closet enough to everything but the neighborhood is also quiet enough to get good nights sleep. Breakfasts were wonderful. It was a great place to start our two week sojourn around Sicily. We will definitely stay here again the next time we come to Palermo...
This is a small boutique hotel at the north end of the city's historic core, right near the small craft harbor. There are a lot of bars and restaurants nearby. In fact, everything in the historic district of Palermo is a short walk away. The room was large and comfortable (except for the shower in the bathroom). The staff was very friendly and very helpful.
Considering this is my second time around on an extended stay to Sicily and having stayed at several properties, Valero was by far one of the best host I've encountered. Out of the many features to highlight, the thoughtfulness of having lockers for luggage storage (at no cost) was greatly appreciated. I look forward to returning multiple times over!
The bed was so comfortable, we had the best sleep of our travels around Sicily! The terrace was also lovely which we enjoyed sitting on in the warm evenings. Lastly, the staff were fantastic and allowed us to check in a few hours early so we didn’t need to carry our bags around on our first day in Palermo - much appreciated!
Location was the best. It was only 20 metres from the maim street. Plus 300m from the Teatro Massimo. Breakfast was okay and was what was expected. We slept okay but the mattress could have been thicker. However, it higher star rated hotels we were in the beds were not any better. It must be standard in Sicily.
Free breakfast was great, especially because of the multitude of gluten-free options. Another bonus at breakfast was the barista, Davide, who greeted us with a big smile every morning and gave us lots of recommendations for places to see in Sicily. The hotel was beautiful, including the lobby and rooftop bars.
Good location, I mostly walked around Palermo from the hotel after taking a taxi there from the train. The bed was by far the best bed I slept on in Italy. The shower was fancy with many spouts. They also gave me a sheet of tourist recommendations and advised on what is in walking distance.
Quirky boutique Hotel renovated with imagination and style. Perfectly located for exploring Palermo. Charming staff, very helpful. They parked our small camper safely for our stay so we didn’t have to worry about it. Fabulous breakfast. Would highly recommend.
It was the best bed I had in Sicily!
Very comfortable mattress, good size room, friendly staff, very good breakfast, they even have Oat milk!
You have to ask it from the waiter, they have Soya too.
The airport bus station is right there
It is just on the bank of the sea, quiet area but close to the town (20min by bus) , clean and comfortable appartment, nice hosts.
The beach is much cleaner than the rest of Palermo.
It was not a luxury hotel but we loved it.
Hotel is in a central location, close to really nice restaurants and bars. Our room was very clean. We also got very friendly and helpful guidance from Federica. She gave us all the tips not only for Palermo but also for Sicily.
Amazing place. The best place I stayed in my 8 days holidays in Sicily. The most comfortable bed and pillows I have had. A great breakfast in the terrace with a perfect view of the city
I really recommend this hotel
The best of the best places to live in Palermo or sferracavallo. I mean the owner is one of the nicest person we have met in Sicily. The room is beautiful and location is amazing!
