La Finestra sul Porto

Wow, what a fabulous experience at The Window on the Port. The room was very comfortable and sparkling clean. The breakfast was amazing, with not just simple pastries but granola, fresh fruit, meats and cheeses, juices, made-to-order specialty coffees, and a huge pastry selection. Our hosts, Daniel and Lory, were so helpful and responsive and couldn't have been nicer or more positive. The location is great, with shopping and most of the major sights within a short 15-20 minute walk. This was also excellent value. We would highly recommend this wonderful place.

Our first impressions were that it was a bit of a strange set up, as the hotel is actually an apartment in a block near the port, with reception area, small breakfast area and several rooms off the corridor. But once we were in it all made sense and we were very pleased to be there. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We were in a large family room with two double beds, plenty of storage, a fridge and a well appointed modern bathroom. The best part of our stay were our hosts. They were friendly, very welcoming, spoke excellent English and offered us drinks and biscuits on arrival. They also offered different options when serving us breakfast and were great with the kids. They were fantastic in recommending where to go and what to see in Palermo, showing us on a map some of the highlights. As a result we got to see things that we wouldn't have seen, and we ate in two restaurants that they recommended - the one in Capo market was particularly good. So we would definitely recommend staying here and listening to the advice of the hosts!

Quite place and kind hosting.

Breakfast provided but we didn't have it.

Outstanding in all regards. The hosts are exceedingly accommodating and solicitous! Everything was as pictured/promised. Extremely convenient to ferry terminal.

Lory and Daniele are very nice hosts. They gave us a lot of helpful tips on what to visit and eat in the city. The breakfast is very good and fresh, and they bought vegan milk specially for us. The room is pretty and clean. Thank you very much for this perfect trip!

Overall it has been a great experience, I highly recommend the place. The only thing I would like to make a comment on is the breakfast. I think if the guests could have been left alone to help themselves in peace, it would have been much more enjoyable, as I felt uncomfortable being asked what I would like for breakfast. There wasn't anything extra that the host needed to do by asking that; the guests can help themselves to make coffee or enjoy the available buffet. It was just uncomfortable having two people watching you eat breakfast in the morning; it was just not a relaxing atmosphere. Others than that, it was a great and comfortable stay. Also, the host was extremely helpful in pointing us to different locations and providing helpful information. Many thanks for having us.

The best bed and breakfast that we had in Sicily.

Daniele and Loredana are amazing hosts, they do their best to make sure you have a good time and make you feel comfortable and at home! The place is squeaky clean and fresh with amazing breakfast as well. \nOverall It was an awesome experience and I can't wait to go back.

This apartment is in excellent condition, well decorated and we felt at home right away; it is true that Lory & Daniele are exceptional, kind, helpful, available, very pleasant, which made our stay magnificent and unforgettable! With a refined breakfast, nothing better to start a good day; the apartment is also very well located, 10 minutes from the Teatro Massimo and therefore from the center, close to the Politeama, for the shuttle connection with the airport; This week has been a great moment of happiness, and sincere thanks to Lory & Daniele Geneviève & Christian.

Very friendly and competent operators. Location is quite good. I parked on the street, everything is ok. Abundant breakfast. Would love to come back.

We stayed in September and the owners, besides hosting us very comfortably, acted as our tour guides. Excellent place, great warmth from the hosts. Thank you very much and we recommend it.

Beautiful, immaculate, practical, excellent location and spectacular hosts. Highly recommended and worth returning!

The stay has been great, especially thanks to Daniel and Loredana who have been fantastic in serving us and providing us with all sorts of explanations to get to know Palermo, you can tell they love their job.

The central location but in a pedestrian area, the cleanliness, the modern and functional furnishings of the room, and the variety of breakfast would already be enough to justify my high rating. But in addition, the friendliness, availability, and practical information from the owners (Loredana and Daniele) are what, in my opinion, make the difference. La Finestra sul Porto was a random but successful choice. But now it is a reference point for my future stays in Palermo. I absolutely recommend it.

maurizio rated this property but he didn't leave any comment

We stayed in 11, me and my whole family, and the evaluation is very positive. Solar and helpful managers, they gave us many tips and prepared a very good breakfast every morning. I recommend this bed & breakfast because it is really excellent in terms of quality and price and in a strategic location. Thank you for the beautiful stay.

Exceptional in every way! Brand new interiors, extremely clean and meticulously cared for; quiet location but just a stone's throw from the center. The hosts Loredana and Daniele, lovely people, also provided me with valuable information on places to visit. Excellent value for money. I had a great time and will definitely return! Highly recommended!

Very beautiful, clean and convenient structure for movements. Owners really Top! Kind and super hospitable.

Very convenient structure to visit Palermo. The real added value are Daniele and Loredana, the owners. Extremely helpful people with a great sense of hospitality.

Excellent B&B, modern, very welcoming. Daniele and Loredana are very special hosts, we felt like among friends.

We stayed at this bed and breakfast the day after our wedding, waiting to embark on the cruise ship two days later. Super kind and helpful owners, as soon as they found out we had been married for a day, they immediately gave us the suite instead of our room (thanks again for the kind gift). Location facing the cruise terminal but at the same time very close to the center. Highly recommended.

My husband and I have traveled to many places in Sicily. Arriving very late after the ferry from Genoa was four hours late, the hotel owners couldn't have been more welcoming and kind. Our room was comfortable and beautiful. The shower and bathroom were well-furnished. The breakfast served by the host was plentiful and delicious. We will definitely return to this charming hotel. Thank you!

Freshly renovated rooms with top-notch sensory shower! B&B managed by a very kind and knowledgeable couple. I listened to the advice on tours and food! I will be back!

Spring weekend in Palermo, a city that will make you fall in love with its colors and warmth. In this sentence I also express everything I found at the b&b La Finestra sul Porto: the warm welcome of the hosts who surprise you with their genuineness, their hospitality that goes well beyond what you expect. We are right in front of the port but very close to the central area that you can reach with a pleasant walk. I also think it is well served by public transport, but we never used it. The room and bathroom are modern and very tidy, comfortable and equipped with everything you need. What to say about breakfast? I can't find the necessary words, not only will you be spoiled with special Sicilian sweets, but everything you imagine and even more they offer you. I won't dwell any longer, the other reviews already tell everything there is to know and what we also found. Instead, I want to stop to tell you more about the welcome you will receive. With Loredana and Daniele you won't feel like customers at all, but dear friends who offer you everything to make you feel good. Breakfast is the time when you meet and chat, a lot and even more. Daniele is an endless source of information about his city, I have never found anyone who could involve you so intensely with his stories and curiosities. You will never get tired of listening to him. And what about Loredana? With her you talk about everything and more, about her life and your life. Time never seems enough and you have to get up from the table too early to start exploring their wonderful city, which you have now learned to know and see through their eyes. Of course they will also be able to indicate everything practical you may need, and trust me, what they like will surely please you too. These are "friends" that at the end of the vacation you leave with regret and can't wait to come back to see.

Lovely structure with comfortable, modern and cozy rooms. Optimal location just a few steps from the center. The managers are very kind, friendly and generous with useful tips to visit Palermo and surroundings. We had a great time and hope to come back soon.

Great experience, B&B positioned very well, with two exceptional managers for friendliness, availability, customer care, especially in the breakfast where excellent local products are provided. Very positive judgment.

Reviewing La Finestra sul Porto is complex because it is a special place. As soon as you open the bnb's door, we, who have already put on the 4 Hotel critic's hat, ready to search and find the detail, are surprised, because the atmosphere first makes us smile and then leaves us amazed at what we see. We are in the Christmas period and the delightful lights and decorations immediately make us feel elsewhere... In the meantime, the welcome from Daniele and Loredana is extremely professional and quick, but there is a light note in their voices that makes us feel welcomed like family and friends. And we wonder: if we don't even know each other, why do we feel this way? Okay, we check-in, always joking and laughing (and maybe even receiving a cookie and a coffee) and finally we get to the room. Those who, like me, when entering a hotel room, run their finger over the bed's headboard to check for dust, will have to resign themselves to not finding any. Even using Luminol, not even a speck of dust will be found, not a hair escaped the vacuum cleaner, not a smudge in the shower tray or on the shower glass... the disappointment will soon turn into frustration, as it will quickly become clear that at home we will never be so clean. At this point, angry about the humiliation, we change and go out hoping not to find anything to eat in the area. But no. We find taverns, bars, rotisseries, pizzerias one better and better reviewed than the other. And enough! All this perfection is starting to become annoying. We return hoping for a quiet night, but we already imagine that something will disturb our sleep and that the breakfast, both things we hope will make sense of our expert traveler level, and that will allow us to help other travelers with our ready professional review. And no, it won't be like that. We will sleep very well, in incredibly comfortable beds and in total silence, we will take a SPA shower and then we will discover that we underestimated the buffet shouting "diet, disappear" and "Hilton, move..." The check-out will be quick and painless from an economic point of view, because, to tell the truth, what's the point...? It will be difficult to separate from Loredana and Daniele who will let us go only when they see us full and satisfied. Otherwise, they won't settle. But where do you find other hosts like them? In short, staying here will turn you into a perfect customer for the psychotherapist, to whom you will have to go to rebuild your beliefs about bnb in general, because this place will put them all in question. Don't believe it? Try it.

Perfect stay, very kind owners.

Daniele and Loredana were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Always ready to help, recommend places to visit, and the best local spots to eat typical Palermo dishes. The hotel is located right in front of the commercial port, not in the very center but still convenient to reach the main points of interest. The room is new, clean and welcoming, equipped with all the necessary amenities. The breakfast is always plentiful and enriched by a nice exchange of words with the owners. Very welcome touch: upon arrival, we were asked if we had any special dietary needs, intolerances, or allergies to tailor the breakfast to our needs. We hope to return soon.

We stayed as a couple in this property from May 18th to 21st and our evaluation is absolutely positive. The managers are friendly and helpful people and gave us valuable advice on places to visit and on typical restaurants and places to have lunch and dinner. The property is well-kept, excellent room cleanliness, good breakfast with typical products, strategic location near the port and a short distance from the historic center. The suite where we stayed is very beautiful and functional. Absolutely recommended.

Accommodation very well located, recent and tastefully furnished, less than 10 minutes walk from the city center. Private parking for a fee 100 meters from the accommodation and the owners are very welcoming. I will return if I go to Palermo.

Staff at 'La Finestra sul Porto' very welcoming and hospitable. The property is convenient for visiting, on foot, the historic center of Palermo. Convenient for using the shuttle to the airport.

Everything perfect. Kindness and availability of the owners.

Located on the third floor of a building facing the harbor and adjacent to a pedestrian street. 200 meters from the airport shuttle stop, very convenient. Super welcoming, Loredana and Daniele provided us with all the useful information so we wouldn't miss anything in Palermo. Clean and quiet room, top local breakfast products. A structure that I recommend.

Nothing to say, excellent location. The owners are fantastic in everything, impeccable cleanliness. Highly recommended.

The Finestra sul Porto is the ideal place to visit and move around Palermo. New and modern structure equipped with all the comforts (it seems in all respects to stay in a hotel). In front of the port a stone's throw from the historic center. Morning breakfast with typical local products served by the real strength which are the owners Loredana and Daniele. Two people with whom you immediately make friends from the first meeting and who make themselves available to give you all the advice and tips available to fully enjoy the place. Always kind and with a smile printed on their faces, they put you in a good mood and make you feel at home with friends. If you come to Palermo, we highly recommend staying at the Finestra sul Porto, so in addition to the memory of the beautiful city of Palermo, you will also take with you that of two special friends.

I want to thank Daniele and Loredana so much who are special! They were very welcoming, kind, and caring. Every day they gave us different advice on where to go and what to visit in Palermo. For them, it's not a job but a passion and love for their city. Thank you! The room was clean and well-kept (the shower was spectacular). Everything was really modern and the view of the port was very suggestive. The location is more than excellent to visit Palermo and its surroundings. The breakfast was abundant with local products and a lot of choices. When we come back, we will know where to go. Keep it up, guys!

Truly a beautiful experience! Very young, very clean and welcoming structure. I felt at home. The two owners, Daniele and Loredana, really well-prepared, gave us many suggestions to enjoy Palermo to the fullest. Highly recommended.

I found cleanliness, a new and welcoming environment. The owners are two available, affable people who spend a lot of effort to give suggestions about places to visit and advice about restaurants and how to get around the city. Breakfast with local delicacies purchased in the morning. A short walk from the center and everything. Kindness, courtesy and the quality-price ratio make us say that we highly recommend it and obviously if we return to Palermo we will choose this B&B for all the reasons mentioned. Thank you Loredana and Daniele. We wish you a good continuation of summer. Giuseppe and Andrea. Bye.

Very kind and helpful owners, abundant and rich breakfast also with typical sweets every morning.

Super helpful and welcoming owners, new, well-furnished and clean property. Varied breakfast with typical and plentiful products. If we return to Palermo, we will definitely stay there again.

Cleanliness, friendliness, and sympathy are the trio that characterized our stay. Arriving late at night, Daniele and his wife welcomed us with kindness and professionalism making us feel immediately at home. The B&B is cared for in every detail, clean, airy, and the managers always bring joy and are always available to explain what to visit and what to eat in Palermo, making us feel the warmth of this city. The structure is located at the port but on foot, you can reach the center in a few minutes. In 10 minutes you are at the Teatro Massimo, in 15 minutes you reach the Cathedral, with electric scooters in the city, you can reach every corner of the city in a few minutes. The super abundant breakfast with fresh and typical products of the city allowed us to face the long days in this wonderful city. Thank you, Francesco and Ginevra.

We were greeted as if we were at a friend's house, available, friendly, and very prompt to every need. Strategic location, just a few minutes from the Politeama theater to reach all the wonders of Palermo. We will definitely return next weekend.

Absolutely recommended place! Great location, super helpful managers! Truly a 10/10 experience.

The true Sicilian hospitality! The hosts, Daniele and Loredana, were very kind and helpful. They helped us with the luggage, made it possible to leave our little cat in the room without any problems. They served us a great breakfast and provided valuable information on what to see in Palermo (given the short time available) and especially where to eat! We had a great time.

I thank Daniele and Loredana for making us have a great holiday, always available, friendly, ready to give us advice to experience the beautiful city of Palermo and meet all our needs. The property is a stone's throw from the center and is convenient to reach even by public transport.

Beautiful, clean, and very kind and helpful managers.

One of the best choices was our stay at the wonderful Bed Breakfast. Clean and tidy rooms carefully equipped with every comfort, bathroom with chromotherapy. The location is convenient, close to the historic center and very close to the port of Palermo. The owners Daniele and Loredana welcomed us like friends right away, special people, it feels like being in the family. Breakfast for all with fresh Sicilian pastry products, the inn is truly the ideal choice to make the most of the holiday. I recommend it! We will definitely come back.

Beautiful structure, new and excellently managed by the owners, who make you feel at home, available to satisfy requests or curiosities. Abundant breakfast, 10 minutes walk to reach the historic center.

We stayed 2 nights at 'La Finestra sul Porto' and we had a great time. The owners are very easy-going, kind and courteous, always available and ready to give you all the useful information to visit Palermo. The room is fully equipped, with modern furniture. Excellent breakfast. Highly recommended. Daria and Giovanni.

Daniele and Loredana two exquisite people, welcomed us with professionalism, sympathy, kindness and always available to us. We felt good and we will return.

We stayed at La Finestra sul Porto at the end of September. The managers are very kind and welcoming, we felt at home. The structure is impeccably clean, we will definitely come back.

What can I say... If only they were all like this! Perfect structure, fantastic owners.

Everything perfect to recommend, the owners are exquisite and helpful, new and clean structure.

Everything perfect, from the location to the cleanliness, the abundant breakfast and the kindness of the hosts. We will come back! Stunning!

Beautiful property, my partner and I stayed for five nights and had a great time. The room (Phoenician landing) is quite large, the air conditioning works perfectly, the cleanliness of the room is almost impeccable, the bathroom has a very spacious shower with chromotherapy (stunning and super relaxing after a super busy day!). There is a TV with NETFLIX SERVICE INCLUDED! This is not written but it is so, so you will have the opportunity to watch movies in industrial quantities and at no additional cost. Possibility to also have the minibar (paying extra of course). The house is located just a few meters from the port and the bus stop, 2 km from the central station and a few hundred meters from the center of Palermo, you can easily do everything on foot. Not to mention the staff, Daniele and Loredana, two young guys, very helpful and super welcoming, they made us feel comfortable right away and convey a lot of positive energy. Highly recommended 100%. Thanks again guys!

Congratulations! The best Bed and Breakfast experience I've ever had, Daniele and Loredana (the owners) are truly exceptional. They have created an environment where you feel welcomed like family, willing to recommend what to visit in Palermo, where to savor Sicilian cuisine, or where to go to best experience the city according to your needs. For example, they pointed out a newly inaugurated exhibition, places to enjoy the evening, where to meet the iconic figures of the city, and many other things of various interests. All this without neglecting professionalism, courtesy, and precision even with sometimes demanding guests. Given the current circumstances, it is worth noting the particular attention they have paid to all prevention and sanitization measures related to the spread of Covid-19, impeccable. As a final note, hopefully helpful for those interested, I had the opportunity to use the holiday bonus. From the first contact to request information on the use of the holiday bonus, I never had any problems and the procedure upon arrival was very quick. I renew my compliments to Loredana and Daniele, when you meet people who are available, competent, and passionate about their work and therefore deserving of praise, it is right to do so. Congratulations again. Best regards, Daniele (visit September 2020).

The welcome, the sympathy, the availability of Daniele and Loredana combined with a renewed and tastefully furnished environment, in an ideal position near the sea but at the same time close to the historic center, made us feel like friends rather than guests. We recommend these managers and this property to anyone who can read this review... in practice it was like being at our own home. Thank you again.

Structure located in the city center, easy to reach the main attractions of the city. Courteous and always available staff. Clean and spacious rooms. Highly recommended.

B&B practically new with some of the cleanest rooms ever seen. Convenient location to everything with owners always available for advice.

Good location to visit the center of Palermo, beautiful rooms, very kind, friendly and attentive hosts.

10 out of 10! "La Finestra sul Porto" is an unforgettable place where you can find two exceptional people: Loredana and Daniele, a truly Palermitan couple who made us feel welcome from the beginning to the end. The day starts with a very fresh breakfast with traditional sweets from the area and a nice chat with them. 100% recommended for those looking for a true Sicilian experience. The room was spacious, beautiful, and impeccably clean. We hope to come back soon!

We stayed with Loredana and Daniele at their bed and breakfast "La Finestra sul Porto" for a few days and from the very beginning we were enveloped by Sicilian warmth: two friendly, down-to-earth, and above all, competent people! Thanks to their advice, we discovered Palermo in the smallest details, thus managing to get to know the city's history and taste the most traditional dishes nearby. Their structure is intimate, welcoming, and well-maintained. The location is excellent for exploring the city. Every morning we wake up greeted by a breakfast to be enjoyed and spent in their pleasant company. Hoping to return soon, a hug!

New structure, very clean, tastefully furnished. Spacious and comfortable rooms. Very clean, large bathroom with excellent products. Top breakfast, fresh products and a new Sicilian specialty to try every day. Loredana and Daniele are exquisite and exceptional people. Always available for advice or a simple chat. We came in as unknown guests and left with 2 new friends in our hearts.

Very welcoming, attentive, friendly and competent managers. Impeccable cleanliness. Abundant breakfast. For the first time we didn't want to go back home because we felt at home. We will definitely come back. I recommend it to everyone. From the structure you can easily reach the center of Palermo in a short time: via Roma, Teatro Politeama, Teatro Massimo.

I can only give the highest rating to this establishment and especially to Loredana and Daniele for their great passion and ability to make customers feel at ease. This B&B is how all others should be, providing a type of relationship not merely commercial but rather a travel experience in which a human and friendly relationship is also established, constituting the true experience of traveling, the one that remains in your heart. Everything was perfect during our stay, structure, cleanliness, breakfast, assistance... in short... if we return to Palermo, choosing this B&B will be mandatory!

As written on the kitchen wall of the bed and breakfast 'La Finestra sul Porto', it is so and it was. Special people. Thank you for everything. Highly recommended. We will be back soon.

Daniele and Loredana, very kind and helpful from check-in to check-out. They guided us and gave many tips on must-see itineraries and places to taste local specialties. New and welcoming room, very comfortable. Abundant breakfast with various typical delicacies. Wonderful vacation, thank you and see you next time!

I stayed a week in Palermo and stayed at La Finestra sul Porto.\nI was fortunate enough to experience the hospitality and professionalism that the structure offers.\nBeautiful room with all the comforts.\nThe owners, Loredana and Daniele, gave me advice on how to make the most of Palermo and get to know Sicily.\nMagnificent and heartfelt people.\nI hope to return soon and recommend to all those who want to visit Palermo to go to this structure.\nSpectacular breakfast.

Excellent location, in ten minutes on foot you are in the historic center of Palermo. The structure is new, well maintained and very clean, the rooms are well-kept; in the morning you can find a great breakfast with typical and also homemade products, very good: the owners, two fantastic people, welcome you with so much warmth, courtesy, and great availability, making you feel at home. It will be the B&B that I will book whenever I have to spend a few days in this city. I recommend it to all those who will come to Palermo. It is rare to find people like this, try not to change. Good luck! Exceptional.

As soon as you arrive, you are greeted by the warmth and hospitality of the owners, ready to give you any kind of suggestion and advice. In the morning, you are not just a guest, it's like having breakfast (excellent and genuine) at the bar with friends, you sit down and get involved in the conviviality they offer, with smiles, stories about their territory. All this is very beautiful! The rooms are very clean and well-maintained, and the location is very central, just a few steps from the Politeama Theater, so it's also great for those arriving in Palermo without a car. For those planning a visit to Palermo, I would highly recommend staying at this property.

B&B just renovated with extreme taste. Excellent cleanliness, fantastic staff in every way. Fantastic location. I recommend it to all those looking for a fantastic B&B. Oh, I forgot, excellent value for money.
