About

Piazza Marina

Piazza Marina Bed & Breakfast sits in a lively yet peaceful corner of Palermo, about 1 km from Piazza Pretoria. The building has a lift, and each room is bright and comfortable, blending modern style with Sicilian decorative touches. Guests can expect a well-kept property with free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and tea and coffee facilities.

The self check-in is straightforward, and the hosts are known for being attentive and full of local advice. Breakfast is home-cooked and generous, a far cry from a simple pastry and coffee. With the sea and the old town's restaurants and sights within easy reach, it's a practical base for exploring Palermo on foot.
