B&B Vista Mare, Palermo Overview
B&B Vista Mare is a 3-star hotel in Palermo, Italy. Rated 2.0 out of 10 based on 1 guest reviews.
B&B Vista Mare is a 3-star bed and breakfast in Palermo, Italy, set on VIA FRANCESCO CRISPI 120, a practical base for travelers who want to move around the city on foot. The property is best suited to solo explorers and couples who prefer a straightforward stay with a calm start to the day, since the free breakfast is included and helps you plan your route without searching for an early café. Free WiFi is available throughout, and there’s luggage storage so you can drop bags and begin sightseeing before check-in. A terrace adds a pleasant option for an evening pause, while a designated smoking area is available for guests who need it.
Guest feedback is limited, with an overall 2/10 rating from 1 review, so it’s worth considering your expectations carefully and checking recent travel dates and policies before committing. In Palermo, the location matters: you can reach Teatro Massimo in about 1.5 km and make for an easy walk toward Quattro Canti in roughly 2.2 km. For major sights, Palermo Cathedral is around 2.6 km away and Palazzo dei Normanni sits at about 2.9 km, giving you a workable radius for a day of historic stops.
The B&B also follows a sustainability approach with policies that reduce single-use plastics, including no single-use plastic water bottles, stirrers, or straws. If you’re looking for an uncomplicated Palermo base with WiFi, breakfast, and a terrace rather than full-service facilities, B&B Vista Mare fits the bill.

What to Expect

The stay is centered on practical comforts like free Wi‑Fi and a free breakfast, with a terrace available for downtime.
