B&B La Bella Vita

La Bella Vita is a beautiful B&B in Palermo. Our spacious room was located on the 7th floor of a restored building. We had a large terrace overlooking a pedestrian street. Francesco was very accommodating. He provided us with a map and recommended sites to visit. A nice breakfast was served in our room every morning. We were able to store our luggage there on the day of our departure on the ferry.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in La Bella Vita and the wonderful hospitality of the owners. The location is perfect, the rooms are very well presented with a superb terrace area. The delicious breakfast was an added bonus each morning. If you are looking for a "home away from home" in central Palermo, this is the place to go!

Fantastic place to stay in wonderful Palermo. Francesco is the perfect host, location is just right, rooms are terrific and the balcony is a great place to sit and contemplate your next adventure. We stayed in lots of places in Sicily and this b&b is up there with the best.

Francesco extremely helpful. Beautiful apartment with 7th floor private terrace. Quiet. Close to Teatro Massimo, Quatro Canti, great restaurants and street food.

Palermo traffic outside the central area (the apartment is in the central area)

The breakfast was good, especially the homemade jams for the toast. We especially liked having it on the terrace of this top floor of a seven story apartment building. One night we had the "deluxe" room with a large private terrace, so pleasant we bought take-out dinner and wine and ate it there, very memorable. Because of the extra cost, we didn't reserve it for the second night, but a cheaper room instead. In fact it was well worth the extra money and we would have taken a second night there if it had been available. The cheaper room didn't have a terrace, but we still could enjoy breakfast on the owner's own terrace.The neighborhood is fairly quiet except on Saturday night, when it is pretty lively. But on the 7th floor it didn't matter. It's also very close to the airport busstop.

Saturday night in Palermo. Some extra tips on how to navigate Palermo would have been helpful. For example, that the bus to Monreale only goes every hour and a half and is packed. Also, that the bus to the airport might be full, so that it is necessary to allow an extra 20 minutes for that eventuality. (We got on, but a few didn't.)
