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 room I stayed in was nice with plenty of light and a lovely little balcony to enjoy the morning sunshine. The bathroom is a nice size and there is a writing desk in the lounge if you need to write a long review or an article about Palermo. The place has decent free WiFi good enough that you can easily watch Netflix. The only tip I would make if you want a decent sleep in then close the brown shutters on the outside before you head to bed... I left them open so I would wake up earlier so I could explore the city. The only tip for sleeping at night was to unplug the TV as the blue standby light is fairly annoying which I did the second night after waking up think aliens had come to kidnap me... Nope it was just the Telefunken TV... Had a good rest in Palermo and would recommend staying here if you get the chance, also great if you have young kids as the owners have a family of three boys your kids can interact with. Lovely family lovely home.
