The literary meaning of bed and breakfast underlines the simplicity of this kind of structure, excellent for tourists who are looking for a comfortable place to stay in and a good price. This kind of location is not new at all. Before XX century travelers used to find a shelter for the night in private houses rather than inns and this has always been used all over the world. The term comes from English and in the British Islands you can also find the indication “Vacancies” for available rooms. |

However, the idea of the bed and breakfast has been existing since the man began to travel. Monasteries used to offer a shelter and a meal to the travelers. They have always been popular among the travelers throughout Europe. The term, as said, finds its origin in the Great Britain but it is not used everywhere. Others are: paradors, pensions, gasthaus, minskukus, shukukos, pousados, each of them describing a bed-and-breakfast-like system. |

Monreale lies at about 310 a.s.l. and 10 km from Palermo. It is one of the most targeted tourist place. Originally named Monte Reale (real Mount), in a position overlooking the Conca d’oro (the Golden Shell), Monreale was a hunting reserve for the during the Norman era and soon became royal residing abode. In 1174 when William II from Altavilla decided to build up here the cathedral, Sanctae Mariae Novae dicatum, the royal palace aside and the Benedictine Monastery, Pope Lucius III nominated Monreale as seat of the Bishop. From then on, a urban nucleus began to be set up and its vital center is even today the area surrounding the monumental site. Piazza Vittorio Emanuele and the Triton Fountain are on the southern side. The main façade looks over a smaller square, from which the cloister and a public garden can be reached. From there you can enjoy the wonderful sight on the golden shell. A legend tells that William II, after his father’s reign, fell asleep under a carob tree while he was hunting in the woods around Monreale. |
