3 rooms house in the heart of Ballarò

All our 3 rooms are equipped with Smart TV, mini-fridge, en-suite bathroom, shower, air conditioning in each room. Guest will also have access to the common space, including a fantastic terrace and the breakfast room. Some rooms have access to a private terrace or balcony, for the exclusive use of the guests where to breakfast.

From our terrace you can enjoy one of the most breathtaking vie of the city; the enchanting architecture of the past; the masterpieces of Arab-Norman art, the evocative Phoenician sites, and the explosive Sicilian Baroque domes.

Tables filled with exotic produce, deep fryers sizzling with fritters, Sicilian nonnas snaking their carts through the crowds to visit the vendors they’ve purchased from for decades. It’s just another typical morning in the Palermo markets. Though an increasing number of tourists filter in with the locals now, these outdoor centers have been much the same for centuries. The historic markets in Palermo, Sicily, feel a lot more like the medinas of Marrakech or Cairo than the festivals of fresh vegetables in the city squares of Provence or the spectacular covered markets of Rotterdam or Athens. When you consider that Palermo is closer to Tunisia than it is to Rome, everything starts to make a little more sense. Arab influence in Sicily began over 1000 years ago, and these markets are some of the best-preserved of the island’s Arab traditions.

Ballarò is also good example of cultural integration and the area is home to a large number of new “palermitanos” originally from Africa.
The night, and not just on the weekend, Ballarò square is filled with young people on wooden tables chatting and sipping Forst beer.
