Communication with a series of Booking.Com Netherlands staff, who could not answer our queries but kept asking the same questions we had already answered and punctuated their replies with inane remarks like "hope you are having a nice day" "hope this finds you well"etc. We did have some language problems with the property, as Santino's and Elvira's daughter, an English language teacher, was on holiday and our eldest grandson at UCL University of London who speaks Italian could not join us until Parco d'Etna, as the Italian authorities in London don't work during August and only released his passport with VISA stamp in time for 2nd part of our travel. He will be studying this coming academic year at the University of Florence.

Brilliant peaceful and beautiful location near central Monreale with balconies on our rooms to get the wonderful views, even of the sea beyond. Santino helped us by was helpful by taking our son-in-law next day back to Palermo airport to collect our large hire car. He also made us a really good local restaurant booking for one evening. Both he and Elvira were invariably pleasant and helpful. Elvira's breakfasts were exceptional with coffee, fresh bread, yogurts, croissants, local pastries, fruit, fresh fruit juices and water. Highlight were the eggs done in mini omelette form. We enjoyed coming down in the morning for the splendid spread. We last visited Sicily in 1971, but had to return home when my husband's father suddenly died and missed seeing Monreale, the main focus of our trip. So we were delighted to be able to see it at last before we are too old to travel abroad. We were sorry to leave, but then went on to the Parco di Etna for another lovely stay in amazingly green and colourfully flowered Sicily with all its exotic trees and plants.

The steps on the way back from the town at night could be better lit.

Very welcoming proprietors, Santino and Elvira, who went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The breakfast was outstanding, more than ample, fresh and delicious. Lovely view from our terrace. Safe, off-road parking.

Nothing at all

Lovely room in a lovely property .secure parking inside the property gates .Great breakfast served when you wanted it . Comfortable bed but pillows were a bit lumpy . Hosts were so helpful and insisted on driving us to the bus stop to make sure we caught the right bus into Palermo.

Nothing— our time in Monreale with Elvira was lovely.

Our host Elvira was extremely kind and helpful. My husband fell and turned his ankle. She was most concerned and even carried us into the town! She went out of her way many times to help us.

All good!

We liked everything! It was a great decision to stay away from Palermo. Location is great to visit the Duomo of Monreale and take a bus to Palermo. It's a bit of a walk-up, though. Big room, cosy interiors. Wonderful breakfast, secure parking in the yard. Special thank you to the wonderful hosts! It was very easy to discuss some questions before arrival. Thank you!

Everything from the location of the B&B to the comfort of the house to the warmth and helpfulness of Elvira and her husband.

Elvira is a great host. The breakfast is extensiv, enough to feed an army. You can safely park your car on her gated property, perfect if you are traveling by rental car. The property is about a 10-15 mins walk up a steep hill to all the sights in Monreal. I thoroughly enjoyed my short stay

Super clean and lovely people. The breakfast was amazing. The location is near the cathedral.

The room at the B&B was lovely and comfortable, and we appreciated having a place to park the car. Elvira and her husband were helpful in directing us to the magnificent Duomo up the hill, and the bus to Palermo which was very close. Plus a wonderful breakfast!

This breakfast was truly exceptional! The menu was varied, there were several types of pastries to choose from. The ham was high quality and delicious, which added the right touch to the breakfast. The drinks were available in hot and cold versions, which allowed everyone to choose according to their taste. Whether you are a coffee, tea or juice lover. The fruit was also nice. Overall, this breakfast was a great start to the day.

Nice place with nice owners. A bit run down, could use some refreshment, however very clean and still totally functional. Surroundings is nothing inspiring, but really just a couple of minutes walk from the cathedral. The house is in the middle of a private and beautiful garden, with its own parking. Breakfast was rich and prepared with love. Would recommend !

We loved staying with a Sicilian family! Elvira & her husband could not have been any nicer! Breakfast was good, especially those little sesame cookies!

The location of the house is just 100 meters from the famous Monreale Church. Also a good base point to exploit Palermo without staying in the noisy city. The family couple that owns the B&B are so generous, that makes you feel home. Grazzie!
