Il Giardino di Ballarò - Bed & Breakfast in Palermo
Via Porta di Castro 75-77, Palermo
Sicily,
Italia
Sicily's largest city is an assault on the senses: a heady mix of Byzantine churches and baroque palazzi next to an azure sea. Life spills over in markets, bars and restaurants as locals go about their day. You stay in the renovated stables of the Palazzo di Federico, down a narrow street in the heart of ancient Ballarò, close to Palermo's oldest souk-like market and two steps from the cathedral.
The family's passion for decoration shows in every detail and the atmosphere they have created is a joy for eyes and soul. The place is yours to enjoy, from the original art to the roaring fire in low season, from the hot tub on the deck to the Mediterranean courtyard garden where outstanding breakfasts are served: fruits, pastries, Sicilian cheeses, freshly baked desserts and lashings of strong coffee.
Visit the Botanical Gardens where everything blooms, Sunday's vintage market at the marina or join your hosts for a cookery class.

- Two of the most beautiful churches in Palermo are just a 5-minute walk: Church of Gesù, known also as Casa Professa, and Church of San Giovanni degli Eremiti .
- The street that leads to the B&B is adjacent to the Arab Norman path, UNESCO heritage site. From here you can walk to the main attractions: the Palazzo dei Normanni, Palatina Chapel, the Cathedral and the Church of the Martorana.
- Quattro Canti, the heart of Palermo’s historic centre, is only 10 minutes away by foot. Nearby you will discover the Piazza Vetoria, known for the so-called ‘Fountain of Shame’, the Church of San Cataldo and Piazza Bellini.
