Porta Maqueda Bed & Breakfast is very well located in the historical center of Palermo, a few steps from the pedestrian area, close to many tourist attractions and bars and restaurants. Armando, the manager, is extremely helpful. The room is comfortable, with private bathroom inside. Breakfast is correct. However, it is not 100% adapted for people with limited mobility and / or with heavy luggage, as the lift does not reach the entrance door and it is necessary to descend several stair steps.

From Canada and stayed for 2 nights in Palermo and had an excellent experience at Porta Maqueda. All in all, highly recommend it! The room was large, clean and nicely decorated. The host stayed up to welcome us in at 11pm, which was very much appreciated! The service in the morning was lovely. Washroom was clean and had a decent shower with amazing water pressure. Bed was ok, but your typical hard memory foam mattress. Breakfast was delicious with a wide range of typical Italian breakfast foods (yogurt, meats, cheeses) - but we even got fruit and eggs one morning!! The latter being very rare on our trip. The AC worked perfectly, also a treat. The only issue with the stay was that the building facade was under construction and our view of the beautiful teatro and our terrace was completely blocked off - BUT our hosts were kind enough to email us ahead of time and give us warning. Location is perfect, being right on the main street and surrounded by sights within short walks. As a side note, if you do stay, the lights in the hallways outside the room are motion-sensor, but they only trigger from the floor above so have your cell phone flashlight ready so youre not trapped in the dark on a stairwell...

This B & B was one of the best places we have stayed anywhere. The owner gave us personal attention, made dinner reservations at a wonderful restaurant for us, and brought us tea in the afternoon. The breakfast was upscale and delicious. Our beautiful room was in a perfect location near Teatro Massimi and walking distance to everything. We could not have asked for a better stay. We will be back to Palermo and this B & B!

This B&B is in front of Massimo Theater, and many sight seeing spots are within walking distance. Very conveniet location. Staffs are very kind, giving me at-home impression. Their room is very clean, its design is so cozy and fashionable.
