The 10 best Bed and Breakfast Inns in Sicily, Italy

April 27, 2023 Trinity Boughner

A visit to Sicily is truly a feast for all senses. The Mediterranean island is a foodie’s paradise, offering rustic fare that makes the most of local bounty. Crispy/creamy arancini – fried balls of rice filled with cheese and sauce – are mouthfuls of heaven. The Sicilian sweet tooth has manifested in some of the world’s finest desserts, like icy granita and sinful cannoli. Give your stomach a quick break and visually devour the Baroque architecture of Catania or the awesome holy monuments of Agrigento.

Palazzo Al Carmine

Amazing stay in a state of the art apartment

Reviewed By Flocave

What a wonderful stay ! Our host Francesco was friendly, organized , informative and answered my requests immediately. The apartment is absolutely fantastic: High-end top quality amenities , practical layout. The neighbours are friendly and even told us where in town we could do our covid test (required to travel back to our country.) Monreale has THE most beautiful cathedral I have ever seen in my life…and probably will ever see!

Palazzo Del Poeta

Dimora Contemporanea Tra le mura del Palazzo del Poeta, la cui l'origine seicentesca è stata riportata alla luce dopo una lunga e sapiente ristrutturazione, emerge una dimora contemporanea. E' una residenza preziosa, in cui la storia antica si intreccia con quella moderna. L' atmosfera, mai convenzionale, sembra evocare le memorie di quella nobiltà, che abitò il palazzo, dedita all'arte, alla poesia e alla cultura. Un luogo di accoglienza discreta nel cuore dalla Palermo più antica, a pochi passi da Piazza San Domenico, il Museo archeologico Salinas e l'Oratorio di Santa Cita. Qui si celebra un vero e proprio viaggio sensoriale in cui la storia del palazzo rivive nella contemporaneità del presente. Un ambiente, intimo e allo stesso tempo aperto alla condivisione degli spazi comuni, curati da luce e dettagli preziosi.

Fantastic

Reviewed By Simon S

My wife and I spent three nights at Rosa's Palazzo Del Poeta in mid-May. Everything was perfect! The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and everything was perfectly clean. Still speechless about the breakfast... During our stay, whenever we needed something, we got help immediately. Rosa has set up a most efficient messaging system, and she and her team always responded immediately. At the end of our trip, I forgot a jacket at Palazzo Del Poeta. Rosa notified me, asked me for my address, and sent it all the way to New York, not asking for anything. In short, the place (the palazzo itself and its location) is great and the team is fantastic - will go back as soon as we can go back to Sicily! Highly recommended! Simon

B&B Porta di Castro, una prestigiosa struttura... l'eleganza e il comfort di una suite nel cuore del centro storico di Palermo... al prezzo di un B&B...

Fabulous interiors, wonderful service, the best possible location, I love it!

Reviewed By Gladys63_10

I stayed in this hotel when I was organising a nature tour in Sicily for a group of English people, and I will definitely stay there whenever I visit Palermo in the future. It's an extraordinary building - an old church that was abandoned for years and has been lovingly restored by the owner, Alessandro. He has an amazing imagination and has introduced glass floors and a glass lift shaft and decorated the entire hotel with interesting antiquities, art, vespers, bicycles and Sicilian knick-knacks. The bedrooms are comfortable and the bathrooms have antique sinks and are decorated with old Sicilian tiles. Breakfasts were lovely - as much coffee / pastries as you could possibly consume and a lovely side plate of fruit on every table. All the staff were warm and helpful, and, as other reviewers have mentioned, they're in touch with a team of people who can drive you to sites or to the airport and who are all professional, calm and reassuring. Alessandro himself is quite charming and he tells me he may be opening a sauna soon so look out for that! The hotel is right in the centre of town, near the Palazzo dei Normanni, which houses the Capella Palatina (unmissable) and regular exhibitions of modern art, and is a short walk away from the Cathedral and the pedestrianised Via Vittorio Emanuele. The hotel is in an old side street so there isn't a huge amount of light - but don't be put off by that because the location and ambience is perfect and you can dowse yourself in sunshine all day when you're walking around town. I highly recommend Porta di Castro. Thank you to Alessandro and all the staff for a very special stay.

The hotel is centrally located with rooms that are big, modern and clean. Breakfast was very good too, varied with sweet and savoury options. The owners are helpful in every way from the day I wanted to book till the end of our stay. We were a big group, thus it was not easy to accommodate all of us but they made sure our requests were honoured. Thanks ...we will be back!

Casa Turchetti

Casa Turchetti owes its name to the “Maestro Turchetti” who was a great musician that first held his lesson in the house and later turned it in a very important School for Musicians in Taormina .Not far from the gourgeous panoramic “Belvedere “ square , and just upon it , the house is situated in the heart of Taormina , almost in the middle between Porta Messina and Porta Catania. In all rooms well restored it’s possible to feel the characteristic atmosphere of the late 1800’s houses.

My wife and I enjoyed a marvelous stay at Casa Turchetti. The luxurious B&B is excellently located walking distance to the main square and all the main attractions in Taromina but nestled in a quiet street which provides a nice respite. The B&B has lovingly been restored by Pino and Francesca who are wonderfully warm, welcoming and attentive. We have travelled extensively and without a doubt this was one of the nicest and most relaxing places we have stayed. The terrace view of the bay and Mt Etna is beyond compare.

A great find close to Lo Zingaro

Reviewed By Cindy D

The room was spacious and super clean. We had a balcony and were able to hand wash and dry our clothes quickly- a real benefit. Nino provided a delicious breakfast with Sicilian pastries, pane cunzatu, juices, fruit, coffees-- he was a great host. We chose the location to be close to Lo Zingaro but in a less touristy location- and Alba Marina was perfect for us.

Garibaldi R&B

After a careful and stilish restructuring, with a vintage touch which keeps the original ’60s atmosphere intact, we proudly present the GARIBALDI R&B. The R&B is located on the upper floor of a lovely building which is part of the "Palazzata" of Messina, built in the ‘50s from Giuseppe Samona, one of the main representatives of the Italian rationalist architecture. GARIBALDI R&B cozy rooms face the harbor on one side and the old town on another, within walking distance from the Cathedral, the church of SS Annunziata dei Catalani and the Central University. Its strategic position allows to enjoy the city liveliness, thanks to many nearby cafes and restaurants, as well as the convenience to reach the Expo neighborhood and the Regional Museum of Messina. We offer STANDARD and SUPERIOR rooms as well as a junior suite with private kitchen and jacuzzi shower. All rooms are air conditioned and equipped with free WiFi, minibar, TV LCD, phone and private bath.

Inexpensive B&B

Reviewed By K2527WFjulies

The rooms are modern and nice and the staff was very cordial. Our room was just off the entrance and we could hear overtime someone buzzed in. The breakfast was very minimal but enough for a quick bite. It is located on a great boulevard for shopping and just off the coast.

Maeco Ortigia B&B

Maecò Ortigia B&B is located in via Landolina n.5, as part of the Palazzo Francica Nava which was originally built in the 15th century in the Catalan Gothic style. Following the devastating earthquake of 1693 the building was rebuilt with some Baroque additions and used by Jesuits until it was bought by the Francica Nava family, from which it still retains the name. The renovation, completed at the beginning of 2016, followed the coherence of the original architecture with the intention being to keep alive the typical Sicilian atmosphere, and recreate a place to feel at home.

This is a great place to relax and scape from the city's noise. We had the luck to get the orange season so we were delighted with a permanent orange flower scent. The room was perfectly clean, the bed comfortable and good internet connection. The breakfast is very good including ofcourse fresh orange juice!. I highly recommend this place
