The breakfast was good enough and had everything we have asked for!
The two ladies were polite and offered us a good service!

It was easy to find the parking after instructions and also to take the local bus to Palermo.
Communications were smooth. Monreale is beautiful.

Elvira and Santino made our stay more than welcome. Breakfast was abundant, good and fresh. Our room was big and had all the necessities needed. Parking was safe and secure in the locked up drive. Location is very near to the Duomo but the road is a bit steep. When we told Santino we were going to Palermo with our car he insisted we take the 35min bus ride and he drove us to the bus stop.....what an amazing host. Thank you Elvira and Santino.

This was a wonderful place to begin our tour of Sicily: the owners are extremely welcoming and helpful. They offered to drive us up to Monreale each day, and advised us on where to eat and where to go; they also provided us with a delicious breakfast each morning, including freshly squeezed orange juice, and gluten-free options for me, which I had asked for on booking.

The owner is very kind and she helped us to get around Monreale and Palermo.

Monreale is a city built on the side of the mountain, so be prepared to walk up hills and stairs! The big attraction there is the Duomo in the main square which is just beautiful in the inside as the artwork is done in gold! You will have to pay an entrance fee, but it is worth it. The streets can be a bit of challenge to navigate as there are street vendors, cars, vespas, bicycles and pedestrians all trying maneuver through the narrow streets. Monreale gives you a beautiful view of Palermo and the ocean.

We spent only an afternoon here, but so glad that we included it on our trip. The cathedral was the most beautiful we had seen on our trip to Italy - we also visited ones in Palermo, Cefalu, and Catania. There were several interesting restaurants on side streets near the town center and we found a lovely ceramic/mosaic shop just off the central square. Views were amazing and it was an easy car ride to the airport for our departure the next day.

Although you can get in the cathedral free to see the mosaics, I would suggest you get the inclusive tickets (€12) to see the Cloister, the Cathedral, the Sanctuary and get up to the roof for a fantastic view of the Cloister and the town.

For us the cathedral was the centrepiece, why we were there, and the 12th century mosaics were stunning. We also enjoyed seeing the cathedral packed with young, local families, after hundreds of years still a centre for the local community

The Duomo both inside and outside is spectacular.
The Duomo both inside and outside is spectacular. The small town itself is very picturesque as well, with some great little restaurants (e.g. Pepers and pizzeria Antica de Guillermo opposite the main entrance to the Duomo) and beautiful views of Palermo in the distance. It's a good place to stay as you avoid the pain of driving in the busy centre of Palermo. You can leave the car in Monreale and take a 20-minute bus ride into the centre for €1,40 one way. You get the bus tickets from any tobacconist.

The cathedral is breath-taking and worth a trip unto itself, but Monreale is also an ideal staging point for trips into nearby Palermo. We had great food and sight-seeing within Monreale itself and took advantage of a good bus system to spend a day in Palermo. It was easy to do and we enjoyed everything we did here.
The B&B had secure parking, a real bonus in Monreale. The room was a good size for three people with ample storage. The continental breakfast was good and served (weather permitting) in the garden. The B&B was a ten minute walk up a steep hill and steps to the centre of the town where there were several restaurants, although many were closed on a Monday. Pepers on the way up was a decent choice. The owner was most helpful, taking us to the bust stop to catch the bus to Palermo and recommending places to visit.
Wonderful stay and breakfast at The Opera Boutique hotel. The location is great, 2 min walk from to the city center. It is difficult to circulate with a car, so it is better to park it at the entry of the city. The manager is very helping and friendly, for example, he proposed to transfer us from the parking to the hotel with his car for free at our arrival and departure. Montreale is very typical and nice to visit.
The family that owns and manages this hotel are outstanding! They were the nicest people and super accomidating. . Emanuela has a true servants heart.
This is not a stuffy, pretentious hotel, but a family friendly hotel in a natural environment filled with orange, lemon and olive trees. The patio Is immense with an outstanding view..... a place to relax with family and friends.
Exceptionally clean and the room smelled so fresh and sweet! There is attention to detail and no dust or anything found even on shelves. The host was friendly and breakfast DELICIOUS!!! Best cappuccino I have had in awhile. Plus it was a family room so we had enough room for all of us and we were all together. Very close to Monreale Duomo. Very easy to get to with secured parking.
Paola, the host, is just amazing, very welcoming and available all the time for any sort of need. Location is great, a stone throw from the UNESCO heritage site of the Monreale Cathedral. Plenty of choice for tasty food. 15 to 30 minutes driving from many must-go locations, as for the likes of Palermo and its nearby beautiful beaches.
The owners were a wonderful couple who provided dining and sightseeing suggestions and guidance everyday. Ample parking was a plus. Walking distance to Monreale Duomo, cafes and restaurants. Ample delicious breakfast. Wonderfully decorated house and rooms with beautiful garden and terraces. Stay here if Monreale is your destination.
