The three-room La Libert' Bed and Breakfast is a humble, but comfortable choice for a budget stay in Palermo. Located next to Piazza Ruggero Settimo, the tiny property is central to many of city’s major sites, as well as numerous shopping, dining, and drinking options. Set inside a typical apartment building, the dreary entrance fails to hint at the light-filled penthouse that awaits on the top floor. Though simple in decor, La Libertà has been well updated and maintained, and offers rooms with modest but modern features. Two of the three rooms have private bathrooms, and all have access to the quiet rooftop terrace. A simple daily breakfast can be served in rooms or up on the roof. As an alternative, Palazzo Pantaleo B&B has larger rooms and is within walking distance to Teatro Massimo.

The 30-room, mid-range Domina Home Giudecca is a charming, quiet hotel with a sunlit atrium that could be out of a Henry James novella. The hotel is located on the residential island of Giudecca, overlooking a peaceful backwater canal. The area is a 15-minute water taxi ride from the city center, but is relaxing and good value for guests who don’t mind traveling the canals like natives. Rooms are clean, spacious, and individually decorated with nondescript furniture but lots of architectural interest. Rates are far cheaper than at more centrally located mid-range hotels.

On a quiet, canal-facing street, a short walk from Venice’s Santa Lucia railway station and the Grand Canal, the Hotel Hesperia is an affordable alternative to the larger properties found in the oftentimes crowded San Marco area.
