As a solo female traveller (travelling for their first time alone), I couldn't have asked for a better host or accommodation. I stayed in Babbaluci b&b between 12th - 15th of February 2022 and had an amazing experience in Palermo.
Federico is very welcoming, friendly, knowledgable and helpful from the start. He was there to greet me and explain where everything was in the apartment (amazing facilities, bathroom and shower were a dream, fruit, tea and coffee available 24/7). He talked through the sites worth seeing and a market that was only on for one morning at piazza marina while I was there, I wouldn't have known this was on if not for Federico and really glad I went! The communication was brilliant too, I got lost a few times and Federico replied very quickly to help. Federico's recommended list of places to eat during my stay was appreciated as there are too many options - each one I went to, I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance, service and food.
The B&B is modern and very clean. It feels like a home away from home (but better!). It smells lovely, all essential amenities are provided (toothpaste, hairdryer, towels, shampoo, body wash, chilled water) and the bedding is beyond comfortable. The location is ideal as it's only an 8-25 minute walk away from every major attraction and train station. The breakfast provided was enough to set you up for the day and a lovely start to the morning.
If you're staying in Palermo, please stay here! You won't be disappointed in the slightest.
