La proprietà — B&B Casa e Putia
Casa e Putia is a small, family-run B&B tucked inside a 17th-century palazzo in Palermo's historic centre. The ground floor doubles as a deli and wine bar, so the lobby smells of cured meats, Sicilian cheese and good red wine. It feels more like staying in a friend’s stylish apartment than a hotel — exposed stone walls, tiled floors and a few modern touches. Ideal for solo travellers or couples who want local authenticity over hotel amenities; don’t expect a lift or 24-hour reception.
Cronache di Palermo
Palermo was founded by Phoenicians around the 8th century BC, then called Ziz, before becoming a key Roman and later Byzantine port. The Normans conquered it in 1072 and left a spectacular fusion of Arab-Byzantine-Norman architecture — the Palatine Chapel’s gold mosaics are the highlight. Through Spanish rule, the city grew a dense baroque centre, visible in the Quattro Canti and many oratories. Today Palermo is a gritty, lively capital where street markets, crumbling palazzos and modern street art coexist, and food is its main cultural currency.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Palermo →I migliori mesi
April, May, October: temperatures are 18–25°C, crowds are thin, and you can explore without heat exhaustion.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August: temperatures regularly hit 35°C, and the city fills with cruise-ship day-trippers and beach crowds. Hotel rates double or triple; events like the Feast of Santa Rosalia (mid-July) drive extra demand.
Stagione di spalla
September and early October: still warm (25–30°C), but flights and accommodation drop 30–40% after August. The sea is swimmable, and the markets are less frantic.
Meteo e imballaggio
Palermo’s humidity in June can push the ‘feels like’ temperature 5°C higher than the actual reading. Pack lightweight linen or cotton, a reusable water bottle, and a thin scarf for entering churches.
Briefing della città — Palermo
- The city’s new tram line on Via Lincoln (connecting the central station to the port area, phase 2) has reduced car traffic east-west, but expect sporadic roadworks near the Politeama theatre through summer 2026.
- From June 2026, the Mercato della Vucciria has extended its evening closing time to midnight on weekends, with more regulated street food stalls for hygiene.
- The regional government has introduced a €3 per person per night tourist tax for stays under 10 nights, paid in cash at check-in — the B&B will ask for it.

Principali attrazioni a Palermo
💡 Best viewed from the steps of Santa Caterina church across the street for the full perspective. Go at dusk when the fountain is lit. Avoid midday heat—no shade.
💡 Go late afternoon for low light through the stained glass. Skip the rooftop if you're short on time
💡 Go before 10am for the best produce and fewer tourists. Watch your bags in the crowds. Try a 'sfincione' (Palermo-style pizza) from a bakery stall.
💡 Come in the morning for the best selection; bargain for fruit but pay the listed price for cooked snacks like panelle
💡 Rent a bike from the kiosk near the entrance for 5 euros an hour. Bring your own water
💡 The ticket (€12) includes the royal apartments and chapel. Most tour groups miss the chapel's carved wooden ceiling—look up. Go on a weekday to avoid queues.
💡 Visit early to avoid queues. No photos inside; bring small change for the ticket
