We contacted ArtePalermo to book a double room at the B&B, but when owner Marjolein Wortmann suggested that we rent her centrally located holiday apartment for the same price, we jumped at the chance - and have no regrets. The bedroom, kitchen and dining room/entry hall were all airy, spacious and clean. The double bed we slept in was firm... more

In May we had a very nice stay at ArtePalermo. We found the place by searching the web and it was not exactly what we expected ( a modest priced room in a centric aerea, to get the feel of Palermo's daily life) but much more! From the webpage we knew you share bathroom and the use of the kitchen.... more

I spent one night here and paid 50 EUR for a double room. There are some good things and some bad things about this place- it is up to you to decide whether it suits your needs. Positives: - one of the cheapest places in Palermo for a double room (I could not find anything for the same price) -... more

We have just returned from a very comfortable three night stay at the ArtePalermo B&B in Sicily where we received a warm welcome despite our late arrival due to a toronto snowstorm. The very central location in an ancient Sicilian roadway (complete with a street corner shrine) is within easy walking distance from the city's historic monuments. squares, markets and... more

We are a young couple who wanted to explore the real face of Palermo and searched for a clean accommodation for reasonable price. The advantage with Artepalermo was that it not only fulfilled the last 2 characteristics but also the first one. Here you live as the real people in Palermo live - you have to walk up to the... more

She herself is an artist which can be seen all around the place. The guest rooms are located on the top floor and offer plenty of space, kitchen and... more

If you want to get to know the real Palermo, then stay at the B&B/Apartment Arteparlermo. My friend and I had an excellent week in the apartment in March 2008 and felt quite at home! The house is located in an neighbourhood with small alleys with balconies decorated with laundry, between the squares and churches. After passing the narrow alley... more

We loved our stay (for the second time) at Marjolein's lovely place in the middle of Palermo. The owner Marjolein is friendly and will help you find your way in Palermo. The house is great, and gives you a real Mediterranean feeling (white walls). And the roof terrace is superb. Although you share the house with the owner this is... more

ArtePalermo is a miraculous find! Dutch artist Marjolein is an incredible woman!! She runs this cheap, cosy and very welcoming B&B, she is a fantatstic painter (evidence of her colourful, vibrant art on most walls!) and she will sit down with you for as long as it takes and tell you where to go and what to see, hunched over... more
