This is a brilliant place to rest your head for a few days if you are vising Palermo. Even before we arrived the help that the girls at Il Giardino offered was invaluable; happy to arrange taxi collection from the airport, good information about the best rooms for our party and very timely with their replies, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Once we arrived, this was borne out and a very warm welcome greeted us on our arrival. The following morning there was plenty of help with maps and information to orientate us with the city, together with a list of local restaurants, all with details of the walking distance to each. The attention to detail is beyond expectation, which makes a stay here so very special. The location of Il Giardino is great, being in the older part of the city, and therefore central to give access to many of the sites you are sure to want to visit, all within walking distance. Our rooms, which were on the first floor, were stylish, large and well appointed with good sized en-suite shower rooms. Comfortable beds, plenty of pillows, towels and warm blankets. The reception area of this gorgeous and characterful abode is spacious and there are plenty of local artisan works on display, which are available to purchase if you like. There is a large glass covered area in the centre of the room, showcasing relics of times gone by and the pretty courtyard garden, off the breakfast room, is a quiet spot to capture the sun before it sets for the day. Breakfast is plentiful and cooked eggs are offered too, if liked. There are also other good touches, such as pastries and water available throughout the day in the main reception area, which are provided without additional charge. Aurora and Danielle, who looked after us during our stay, were convivial, friendly and very happy to help with any queries we had. The thoughtful touch of bringing a small pastry with a candle, and singing Happy Birthday (!) on the morning of my friends' birthday, made it such a special visit, and you feel that the girls have a genuine interest in their guests and their stay. I would highly recommend staying at Il Giardino di Ballaro and if we return to Palermo we will definitely return to this wonderful B&B.
