In the heart of Palermo
Kalamarina rooms
un viaggio nella storia
An immersion in ancient and
modern Palermo
Kalamarina Rooms was founded in 2007 inside the historic Palazzo Fatta, built in the 16th century. From the balconies of the Maestrale and Grecale rooms, you can enjoy a stunning view of Piazza Marina, the 1561 Garraffo Fountain, Villa Garibaldi, and the canopy of the centuries-old Ficus Macrophylla tree – the largest in Europe! – as well as a glimpse of the Cala, the city’s ancient port. The balconies of the other two rooms, Scirocco and Libeccio, overlook Via Bottai, facing Palazzo Trabucco della Torretta, an 18th-century noble palace.

Experiences and feedbacks
Very comfortable structure in the center. The very large and comfortable room for two and a little dog. Friendly and very helpful staff. Room cleaning is daily and flawless! The car can be parked safely by purchasing the ZTL pass. I highly recommend it !!
Spacious room overlooking Piazza Marina. The owner is a kind and helpful person and above all he has the La Cambusa restaurant just below the B&B where you can eat well at fair prices. More than positive experience
Strategic position to visit the center. Large room with air conditioning (essential for an August in Palermo). Breakfast bar with excellent and abundant agreement with the structure, wide choice for savory and sweet breakfasts. Excellent quality / price ratio considering the high season.
Great view of the square and the park. You are a stone’s throw from the main street with shops. The structure overlooks a beautiful square. Breakfast is served in the bar opposite and includes coffee and croissants. Lovely place.
