With these lines Vincenzo Errante, Palermitan poet and patriot of the last century, describes the enchanting natural scenery in which Palermo is set. The heritage of monuments and art of the Sicilian administrative centre is equally enchanting, thanks to the presence of important monuments and ruins of Bizantinian, Arab and Norman time.
We have chosen a distinctive name for our bed & breakfast to put the emphasis on Sicily’s characteristic colours and perfumes, and at the same time pay a tribute to its Arab culture. Hence the name Az-zahar (ancient Arabic for orange blossom), the flower of the plant that made Sicily famous throughout the world. We will be delighted to host you in Az-zhar bed & breakfast and to offer you a cosy and peaceful accommodation, ideal for relaxing and experience Palermo at best .
Az-zahar bed & breakfast is located on the third floor of an elegant building in a residential area of Palermo. The area is peaceful and quiet. There are two elevators in the building. The B&B is located between Via della Liberta, Palermo’s main commercial street, and the Favorita Park, the largest green area in Palermo. Palermo’s main sport stadium and facilities are a few steps away, and the famous beach site Mondello is at easy reach. The location of our b&b allows our guests to be close to the main tourist attractions, to marvellous shops, and to Palermo’s best beach, renown for its crystal clear sea. We think that very few locations in town will offer you such a handy combination! Upon your arrival, we will be available to supply you with tourist leaflets and any information to ensure that you have an enjoyable stay.
