Unique property from the fourteen hundreds, we never imagine been able to stay at a place with so much history and meet Rossy the owner, very helpful and always available to answer our questions. If you are a history enthusiast you will love this place, tons of restaurants and bars to choose from.

Lovely stay
We really enjoyed our stay. The host Rosi is very friendly and helpful. The building itself is full of history and characters. Our room is at the lower ground floor which has its own entrance. The room is large, clean and comfortable. The facilities in the room is prefect. The location is very central and close to every attraction. It is so easy to get there from the airport by the airport shuttle bus. We would definitely recommend this place in Palermo!!

We stayed 4 nights. Our host Rosi was so sweet and speaks good English. We had the very large bottom level apartment which is 3 open rooms plus a washroom and separate entrance. Very homey. Decorated with antiques. 10-15 min walk to the train station. Walkable to everything in the historic area. Recommend!

Ai cartari si trova in pieno centro storico e si raggiungono tutti i punti di maggior interesse a piedi. La struttura è molto antica ed ha il suo fascino. La signora che ci ha ospitati è cordiale e disponibile.

Mi è piaciuto molto il fatto che fosse una struttura d'epoca, un'antica cartiera del 1700 credo. La proprietaria molto gentile e disponibile.

Beautiful rooms, not the best neighborhood
We had 2 rooms here. Both were really spacious, clean, very charming. It is a good location for walking to markets and other sights but the neighborhood was not great, though we felt safe in our small group. Parking is a mess, get instructions or figure it out before you arrive. I would use the train next time because driving is just nuts, worse than Florence

Atmospheric!
If you would like to feel like you are part of Palermo's medieval past (in the best way possible) choose one of Ai Cartari's two extremely atmospheric rooms. The location is also very convenient for walking around the old town.

Love Ai Cartari, hate Palermo
The interior of the B & B is absolutely beautiful. The room has a large sitting room besides a nice bedroom. The owner lives there and breakfast is served in a gorgeous living/dining room in her home. The breakfast was good, but mainly sweet, no cheese, meat or eggs. Parking in Palmero is very difficult, traffic is horrendous, and to follow directions and find street signs is next to impossible. GPS is absolutely necessary and even with it, it's a nightmare. Personally, I would avoid Palermo at all costs but if you must go there Ai Cartari is a great place.
