The property was located in a convenient area, within walking distance to the main markets, other sights, and the airport bus stop. The host was kindly enough to arrange check-in at a time convenient to us, and the communication was smooth. The room itself was large, but the mattress felt a bit old. We loved the balcony and the view it offered. The breakfast spread was good! We also appreciated the elevator, a rare amenity in older European buildings.

Staying at this B&B gives you the option of being within easy walking distance of the tourist herding zones without having to fully stay within them. It's easy to get access to the major bus lines (although the trams will be a hike), there's plenty of food in the area, you're right next to the harbor, and the room itself is very nicely rendered and maintained: the only real flaw is not having an outlet near the desk. It takes multiple keys to get in -- four in total -- but the owner has taken the unusually sensible step of numbering them for you. And if you can read Italian, there's a lovely little library section on the second level. This is not only a good central base of operations for Palermo, but also offers the option of retreat when the tourist portions turn too noisy. Would absolutely stay here again.

Palermo History
Palazzo Benso is a great 19th century historic building with the flavor of Palermo. Beautiful interior and fixtures. Comfortable bed, perfect for us. Breakfast is lovely with a nice variety of treats. The hosts, Germano and Maria Giovanna, are very gracious and helpful with our Italian language learning process. The location is in the heart of the city with nearby historic sites and great beauty. Interacting with people of Palermo was a wonderful experience.

This is the most beautiful B & B in Palermo. We stayed in a room that the the most gorgeous Al Fresco ceiling and spectacular Mruano Crystal Chandelier. The manager of the B&B even even walked our luggage to the next hotel so we did not have to carry it over the cobblestone streets and sidewalks. Everything was PERFECT at B&B Palazzo Benso.

It is a lovely property for a short stay, we were attracted by the ceilings and decor and they do not disappoint. Very good breakfast for a small b&b. We did have one problem which was that there is work going on in the street outside on the construction of a metro line. It was noisy during the day, but the proprietor sorted us out by moving us to an unaffected room. He acted quickly and for the rest of the stay we had no problems. I believe the work will be going on for a couple of months.

Perfect location in the center of the City!
I had a marvelous trip around Sicily, stayed with friends in some of the places but the most pleasant visit was in Palermo at the B&B Palazzo Benso !!! What a beautiful Palazzo, full of antiquities and confort... You feel part of this beauty surrounding you and pampered all over ! I couldn't resist staying one more night in spite of the short time at my disposal. The owner is very "simpatico" and I plan to come back next year!!!

Communication difficulties
We arrived at the B & B at about 5pm and there was no one to answer the door bell. We later found an email from the owner asking us to phone him with our ETA, but we could not receive this email without WIFI, which in turn required us to be in the property.. Fortuitously, a friend of the owner saw our predicament and let us into the B & B. We recommend that any email asking for an ETA be sent to guests 24 hours in advance. We found the breakfast very basic compared with other B & B's visited by us in Sicily
