After a week of sailing around Sicily, we stayed in Abatellis luxury B&B for the last night before early morning departure. The place was nice, very clean and with very friendly hosts. There was no breakfast though, due to Covid restrictions - this was not clear on the Bookings website when reserving the place. Also, one had to climb two flights of stairs to reach the B&B. Overall, a pleasant experience, though a bit pricey, at a little over 200 EUR per night. But it is a busy part of the summer. Also, after the Covid period, businesses like this must be hurting. We asked the reception to recommend a nice and friendly restaurant nearby for our last dinner in Palermo. We asked not to be sent to a touristy and pricey place. It was therefore a surprise to end up at Piazza Bolognia (15 EUR taxi ride each way), in a complete tourist trap, costing 260 EUR for dinner of four (with only two appetisers, four main courses and one bottle of wine, plus some water; no desert.) So beware of 5he recommendations; better chose and book your own place.
