    It’s on a quiet street at night, yet only minutes from super eating places, and easy to find as it’s beside one of the famous churches. It’s right beside the market Ballaro but not in it. Santino recommended 2 places to eat which were amazing,...

MAD in Ballarò bed & breakfast is in the heart of Palermo old town, few steps from the Quattro Canti and the Ballarò Market, the Cathedral and the Teatro Massimo opera house. Our favorite places? The Church of Jesus, the triumph of the Sicilian Baroque, and the market, with its first fruits ... but also many "hidden" and less famous places and tours, that make Palermo so fascinating and that we never fail to recommend to our guests. The B&B is a dynamic place, which combines great privacy with the possibility of participating in initiatives about other our passion and job, the world of creativity and handmade.
We love travel and we visited many places so far, but the city of Palermo is always in our heart. We decided to open our B&B to the world to share with our guests the passion for our city.
