A stones throw from the airport of Palermo you can stay at the B&B “I Balconi del Duomo”. It is located in the square Carini, a charming medieval City with its famous medieval Castle.
“I balconi del Duomo” is situated in an ancient distinguished dwelling, and it offers to the visitor the chance to take a vacation in the most genuine Sicily, in a town where time seems to have stood still.
In the B&B you can sink deeply into the warm atmosphere times past. Attention to detail and hospitality are the main features of this B&B, whose rooms are a typical example of how houses were made in the first half of the nineteenth century. Floors and architectural features are original and the style of the B&B strictly adheres with the old Mediterranean traditions.
Rooms come with every comfort and are soberly furnished. The breakfast room is an open common space, comfortable and bright. An equipped kitchen is available for customers.
Looking out from the B&B’s terraces you can admire the magnificent square at Carini and the late eighteenth century facade of the town’s Cathedral. The historical town center is visible from the bedrooms.
A short walk from the B&B is the Castle of Carini, an old Manor that was home to the tragic Baroness Laura Lanza of Trabia, brutally murdered by her father in 1563.
The area of the Castle is full of nightlife and restaurants and offers the visitor the opportunity to spend a relaxing evening under the ancient walls of the medieval village enjoying the magnificent views of sea.
The town of Carini is located in a great location for those wishing to visit western Sicily. It is only twenty minutes from the wonders of the City of Palermo and is very close to the most vital sea areas of the Tyrrhenian coast: Mondello, Sferracavallo, Isola delle Femmine, Cinisi, Terrasini, Balestrate and Alcamo Marina.
Fifty minutes from the property is the Trapani area, rich in the artistic and natural beauty that only a magical land like Sicily has to offer. The B&B offers its visitors an advisory service for cultural and gastronomic tours, taking in Palermo and surroundings.
