‘I Signori dei B&B’

Solemar Sicilia was profiled by Italy’s second-largest newspaper, Repubblica, as an industry standard-bearer in Palermo in their 2025 article. Alongside a number of other local operators, we were given the honorary title of the Lords of the B&B, and praised for our work in delivering some of the best-reviewed Sicilian holiday accommodation and also helping the region build a prestigious new brand for the twenty first century.

Our Local Footprint

Solemar Sicilia is extremely conscious of the debt we owe to our local area, which inspires so many tourists to choose us for their vacations every year. In the spirit of this, we are proud to give something back whenever possible, in the form of support and sponsorships for local sports, culture and the environment. We work hard to drive tourism to the Province of Palermo and to make our brand a recognisable and reliable reference point for visitors, adding value to your rental properties in turn.
