Lock in a great price for B&B Ai Tintori – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Perfect location. Amazing breakfast. Pictures show how comfortable this b&b is. Everyone was very helpful and pleasant. Would highly recommend. I would love to return.

Sarah, United States of America

I stayed in B&B Ai Tintori with 2 friends. We came from Trapani Birgi airport by Salemi bus which stops maybe 300 m from the accommodation. The location was awesome, very close to the port of Palermo and Piazza Marina where you can find many restaurants. The room was clean and nice, the staff working there was kind and helpful, Emanuela gave us many advices regarding trips, city etc. Probably the very best part that I didn’t expect were the buffet breakfast which were delicious and compared to other places I stayed in Italy, the breakfast was huge :) On our last day we could keep the luggage in the reception and return to pick it up later. I would definitely return to this accommodation, when visiting Palermo.

The house is an old one completely renovated without losing its "romanic" side, the rooms are spacious and clean. I enjoyed very much the breakfast, everything was fresh and very good!

The room with the twins tends to be noisy. Very near front entrance so you can hear everything. I realize I took the last room but did not realize how small the room was. There are much nicer rooms.

Fridge in our room almost did not work. Also take into account that the room might be located on the third floor and be accessible only by steep stairs (though was not a problem for us).
Pleasant and helpful host with good English adviced us what to visit. We were kindly allowed to leave our luggage in the hotel after checkout.

The shower in the room No.2 is just "rain" type - water coming only from the ceiling . and it did't work properly - so it was just drops... It was impossible to shower our daughter there, so we must have used the bidet... And also the door to the bathroom could be greased so it would not squeak so loud. Every time I went to bathroom I woke up my baby...
The girls were very sweet and provided us with great recommendations for restaurants and playground. The place has a very good location. The breakfast was nice and they allowed me to use their kitchen for preparing food for my baby.
