    The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. Location is good to visit Monreale old town on foot without worrying about parking and driving through narrow hilly roads. It took around 15 min to go to the centre of Monreale, it is a bit of climbing but not too hard. Our car was parked inside the gate of the B&B, very safe. Breakfast was very good: there were a lot of choices and it was delicious.

    Some of the light bulbs in our room needed to be changed. Just a little thing, otherwise great.

    Great location.. Reasonably priced. Lovely house and garden. Host was really helpful and even gave us a ride to and from a local restaurant so that my husband could have a glass of wine with his meal.

    Elvira and Santino made our stay more than welcome. Breakfast was abundant, good and fresh. Our room was big and had all the necessities needed. Parking was safe and secure in the locked up drive. Location is very near to the Duomo but the road is a bit steep. When we told Santino we were going to Palermo with our car he insisted we take the 35min bus ride and he drove us to the bus stop.....what an amazing host. Thank you Elvira and Santino.

    It didn't affect us because we went to Monreale first and then to our B&B, but getting to Monreale would be a long walk nd a taxi might be your best bet.

    The property was on the outskirts of Monreale and very quiet. Parking was available on site and the owners were very gracious hosts. Our room was very comfortable with a balcony that looked out across the valley and the ocean with Palermo in the distance.

    There were only a couple of minor points - the shower and the pillows could have been better.

    The B&B is in an exceptional location, easy to find and just a short walk (climb!) up to the cathedral. The hosts are superb, very welcoming, friendly and accommodating, and were perfectly happy for us to leave our car with them on the morning we checked out while we visited the cathedral. The breakfast is excellent in the quality, quantity and variety of food on offer.

    We had an amazing time at this lovely home. The hosts were the most friendly and welcoming Italians we met on our trip :) They mainly speak Italian but with a bit of English and French non problemo! They were always happy to help with recommendations, which made us feel very much like 'at home'. The location is super convenient too, just a 7-10min walk up to the cathedral, maybe 10mins to the bus stop going into Palermo, and a few minutes to the next supermarket. Breakfast was certainly a highlight, sitting outside on the patio with fresh pastries. We stayed in the 'pink' room, which has an amazing terrace overlooking the valley. Overall highly recommended, such a lovely place, would certainly come again! Grazie mille!!

    The bed was a bit firmer than I am used to.

    The breakfast was excellent. There was a great selection of fruits offered and the food was delicious. Meats and cheeses with fresh rolls were daily. Fresh coffee, yogurts and filled croissants topped off the breakfast. The hosts were extremely friendly and really went out of their way even driving us to the cathedral. If you're familiar with the lack of parking found around popular attractions, this extra effort was really appreciated. The location just outside Palermo was great for getting into the city but also for a variety of day trips out to Enrice in the west and Chefalu to the east.

    My only small criticism is the B&B's location on a fairly steep hill. The walk up to the town of Monreale might be hard work for an elderly or infirm person although there is always the option of driving. But at least you felt you've earned that beer when you get there!

    We loved our stay at Elvira's B&B. Both she and her husband were friendly and very helpful. They made useful suggestions of where to eat; we particularly liked Peper's, which is just a 10 minute walk from the property. The room was traditional and exceptionally clean, the large bed comfortable and plenty of hot water in the bathroom. We didn't expect the room to be 'made up' each day but it was. There was a wide selection of items for breakfast. Personally I would have liked some sort of cereal or muesli but they have to try and cater for all nationalities. Perhaps I should have asked for it! The property can safely accommodate several cars behind locked gates, for which we were given a key. It is suggested that car keys are left near the main door so that Elvira's husband can manoeuvre them if someone gets blocked in. That worked very well.

    Elvira’s B&B was wonderfully clean, attractive and safe. Breakfasts were delicious and the hospitality outstanding. Free parking was included Located in Monreale, a mountain town with a famous cathedral, the sites of Palermo are easily accessible by public transportation. Monreale has good restaurants and public squares with lovely cafes. The historical center of Monreale is a short hike up the mountain. The B&B is in a garden setting and our room had a balcony overlooking beautiful flowering plants and trees.

    The surrounding area was not ideal on a steep hill with some commercial buildings and a sewage works but once inside the gate of the b&b you are completely hidden from everything.

    Lovely house with antique furniture and a garden area with secure parking. Our room had a balcony with a partial view of the sea. The owners were very welcoming and tried hard to find us a restaurant for dinner but it was Monday and most places were closed, so we walked uphill to the centre of town and eventually found somewhere suitable. The b&b is well situated for visiting Monreale as long as you don't mind climbing uphill or driving. Breakfast was very good.

    You have to use some kind of navigator to find the place in this maze of Monreale and Palermo streets

    The location of property is just below the Monreale main church. You need to go up the street and climb several steps before you reach the road to the main square. The B&B is located in a quet place. The hosts are wonderful people with great wish to make your stay as pleasant as possible. All facilities are immaculetely clean. We parked our car at the property (there is enough place for 3-4 cars). The breakfast is served in a shadowed area outside the house and it certainly added to the charm of this place.
