wonderful B and B in heart of Palermo, perfect location. Great, friendly staff, typical Sicilian breakfast. crumbly Palazzo courtyard but adds to charm of this great place. Highly recommend!

David United States of America

B&B Gallidoro is an amazing gem, set in an ancient palazzo in the historic district of Palermo. The proprietor, Massimo, is a wonderful host and made our stay comfortable and relaxing with his ample, delicious breakfasts and the charm of the rooms. The B&B has only five rooms, with comfortably appointed modern bathrooms, and sound proof windows (not that we really needed that). Palermo is a marvelous city, a meeting ground for so many historic world cultures. We can't wait to return and will book at B&B Gallidoro for its perfect location, comfort, and great hospitality. Thank you, Massimo, for making our visit to Palermo so rewarding! We can't wait to meet you again!

Sato United States of America

Since we arrived late in the evening, the B&B provided a taxi service from the airport for an additional €40, which was really helpful. Our driver, Roberto, was very friendly and proved to be excellent conversation, despite his limited English. The room was comfortable and spacious, and breakfast the following morning was delicious.

William United Kingdom

What a great location....right in the heart of everything! Massimo and his staff were exceptionally friendly and always making sure we were happy. Our room was not fancy but very large and had everything you could possibly need. It was fun to be able to look out onto the street and see what was going on. Breakfast was delicious....warm, flaky croissants and the most fabulous jams in addition to plenty of other selections. Massimo was very helpful in arranging our pick-up at the airport which was definitely an added plus after travelling fifteen hours. It was a wonderful start to our three week adventure around the island.

Elizabeth United States of America

Great location. Excellent staff went beyond expectations. Room large and comfortable.

Michael United States of America

Good location, convenient for public transportation and exploring. Hospitable hosts. Comfortable room and good breakfast

Voyagerjack United States of America

Excellent stay with very friendly hosts in a very convenient location in Palermo.

Lucas Austria

The hosts are amazing, they helped us with the parking, luggage, and even the required ZTL ticket required to drive in the historical area.

Miguel Spain

Very close to most everything. Clean, cool and very good breakfast. Massimo was fantastic, helpful and very attentive.

Thomas United States of America

The location was in the center of the city, which made it an ideal location to explore the historic center. Massimo also gave us clear directions as to how to find free parking around the corner. Don't let the street and the entryway to the Palazzo scare you because the floor of the B&B is well-renovated with comfortable rooms with a good view of the cathedral in front. The value to quality ratio was excellent.

Siamo Massimo e Mio genero Alessio
The apartment is on the second floor of an 'old building in the historic center just a few meters from the pedestrian area of ​​Via Maqueda, among the most interesting monumental sites of the city within walking distance (Church of Martorana, San Cataldo, San Matteo, Cathedral, professed House, Piazza Pretoria), along the Arab-Norman heritage trail, a stone's throw from the Quattro Canti and Teatro Massimo, a few minutes from the Cathedral and 15 minutes from Palermo central station and the port. Near the historical and folkloric market of Ballarò and to all commercial activities in the area pedestrian (shops, restaurants, pubs, bars) where there is the nightlife Palermo. In the area there are several places to enjoy the excellent Sicilian cuisine and the best Street food.I Our guests have access to the common room, a space created by a simple décor, dominated the wooden tables, green plants, and the white tents, in order to give life to the customer the feeling to start the day in a bright garden. Available, on request, there is a kitchen equipped with all accessories
Our Bed & Breakfast is the result of a project started by Alessio, my son, Sicilian DOC and me, Massimo, Emilia Bologna adopted by this magnificent land. The idea is to involve our guests into the feeling and passion that always feel for her. Wonderful, rich in art and history, which is always alive occurs between scents and colors, you draw the alleys filled with treasures of one of the richest city centers and unique in the world. We like the idea of ​​getting people giving the feeling of being at home and make available the knowledge of the city '.
Via Maqueda is a historic street in Palermo, named by the person who drew Bernardino de Cárdenas y Portugal, Duke of Maqueda viceroy from 1598 to 1601. At the end of the sixteenth century the viceroy decided to create in Palermo a new road that incrociasse the millennial way Cassaro to give greater rein to the pressing demands of the nobles who demanded new areas for the construction of their palaces, and at the same time make it sliding movement within the city. This road was then designed in 1577 and completion will arrive in 1599.In this way the five historic districts of the city became four, creating the four districts (La Loggia, The Cape, the Kalsa and palaces). Intersection with the Cassaro we find Piazza Vigliena, better known as the Quattro Canti, an octagonal shape. In the centuries after cutting it was associated with intensive building activity with the creation of palaces, churches and convents. Being the new road axis drawn perpendicular to the ancient Cassaro, it was to create in this way a cross (looking at the city from above) that was dubbed the Cross Baroque.
