    The host was incredibly welcoming, kind, and informative. The only disappointment is that we couldn't stay longer. We will definitely come back!

“Il Lapino” is a guesthouse with an undefined etymology but with a precise vocation. Our air-conditioned rooms, the terrace on the back of Villa Fillippina and our position in the old-town will make your stay unforgettable. “Lapino” is the term of endearment for those little three-wheeler vehicles you’ll see through Palermo streets... but it’s also the word that every Italian-speaking lover of a bunny knows (even if it comes from the French lapìn). “Il Lapino rooms" aims to honour these two wonderful creatures: the first one because it’s an important instrument of daily life in Palermo and the second one because it’s an example of tenderness that sounds like the welcome that “Il Lapino” aims to reserve to humans and other friends... and then Lola, our cheeky bunny, is the real housekeeper!
Our house is on the first floor of a building of the early 1900, inside the old town but outside from the controlled traffic zone. We are closed by the Capo market, so you can get to us by car, train (Lolli station) and bus (Politeama and Indipendenza). Then you will be able to walk in less than 5 minutes to Massimo Theatre, via Maqueda, Politeama Theatre, via Libertà, the Cathedral, corso Vittorio Emanuele, Zisa Castle…
