About

B&B Gallidoro

B&B Gallidoro occupies a historic palace on Via Maqueda, Palermo's bustling pedestrian artery. With just six rooms, the property feels more like a private residence than a hotel, and each room looks out over the city or the sea. The location puts the Quattro Canti, a five-minute walk away, and the city's main sights right on the doorstep.

Breakfast is a highlight here, served with a view and featuring homemade croissants and other local products. The staff are consistently praised for their helpfulness. Practical touches like air conditioning, a paid airport shuttle, and on-site parking (when available) round out the offering.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small scale means limited availability — With only six rooms, the B&B can book out quickly, and there are just two room types to choose from.
  • Check-in is limited to afternoon hours — Check-in is only from 13:00 to 20:00, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals or late flights.
  • Street noise possible — Some rooms face Via Maqueda, a busy pedestrian street, so light sleepers may hear street sounds despite the quiet atmosphere.
  • Some amenities have separate costs — Airport shuttle is paid, and parking is not guaranteed — check in advance if you plan to drive.
