Where should we begin? This place has the absolute best combination of everything a smart and…read moreworldly traveler could ever want. The owner and host Francesco, is the best B&B host we have ever experienced. He is passionate about what Palermo and his B&B have to offer. The location is in the city, but outside the old historic center so there is parking available near the unit for you to park your car and leave it during your entire stay. There is also frequent bus transportation to the historic center and other parts of town within 3 blocks. Because it is a residential area you have very good restaurants close by. No horrible touristic menus to be found anywhere near here. The unit itself is extremely comfortable. It is on the 12th floor - a penthouse and has an amazing terrace outside of the unit with an additional very large terrace on the 13th floor above it. There are commanding views of the entire city from the terraces. The room itself is well appointed with dark wood wainscoting and floors and tasteful decor. The ensuite bathroom is incredibly large for an inner-city room and includes an oversized soaking bathtub and a separate large shower. The WiFi worked very well in the unit and nearby terrace just outside the room. Francesco, is incredibly hospitable. He takes much pride in providing exceptional service to his guests. The suggestions of what sites to visit, how best to arrive there, where to eat and anything else you can think of in the city are extremely helpful. Breakfasts are without compare to other bed and breakfast locations. Francesco caters them specifically to your wishes. This is not a cookie cutter breakfast, it is made with great care and the desire to please. We requested some savory meats and cheeses and were surprised to find a perfectly ripe cherry tomato salad, delicious caponata, calzone with local bread, prosciutto, home grown basil and fresh mozzarella along with fresh fruit, fresh squeezed juice and yogurt. A schiacciata (sp?) of cooked ham and cheese was also included - enough for breakfast, lunch and more! We stayed two nights and felt very comfortable here. The privacy of being the only guests is great! We felt pampered. We highly recommend Attic 12 to savvy travelers who want to experience Palermo from a local's perspective.

There are a lot of cafes and typical restaurants - be sure, Francesco, the owner, will show you the best ones :-)

The staff are very kind and helpful and provided us with some great tips on where to go around Palermo. The location is great for walking around the heart of town. The breakfast ain't bad, either. Highly recommended.

Great place. Lacks AC in all rooms, so make sure to check, if the room you're booking has one. We…read moregot the room without windows, except one in the door, and no AC. Asked and got other room for no pay up with a balcony, under construction and AC. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, because owners are building their B&B and it will only improve. Our room did not have air vent built in (yet) in the bathroom, so bad smelly dump will not go away that quickly (I don't like how I wrote here, I know...). It has few restaurants around the area and very importantly pubs (at evening times). One huge bonus is that Giorgio (that's the main guy's name) will give you really nice advises where to go and what to see and also will take good care of you. They have Free wi-fi and a laptop to be used in you needs. That's handy for some. Wifi is dodgy, tho. Not super reliable. Lovely B&B. Quite close to all main areas of Palermo.
