Overview

The family-run Kimera is set in a 19th-century residence in the historical city centre of Piazza Armerina. With free public parking in front of the property, the B&B features rooms with a unique style and décor. Mixing antique and contemporary art and furnishings, rooms at the Kimera are inspired by different spices; ginger, cinnamon and chilli. Each comes with air conditioning, a sofa, and an en suite. Breakfast is continental and is served daily in the breakfast room. Guests have access to the coffee machine at all times. Located in central Sicily, the B&B is 50 metres from the city’s baroque cathedral. The property is also a 10-minute drive from Villa Romana del Casale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Guided visits to the villa can be organised, and several restaurants in the area provide discounted rates. At reception you can rent bicycles and cars. Book for at least 3 days and you will get a free massage session.

What a fantastic find! We absolutely loved our night at Kimera. Our host was so welcoming and helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. A special mention for the excellent air conditioning, which was a welcome relief from the warm weather. It was so convenient to have access to a full kitchen, and we enjoyed unwinding in the peaceful garden area – a real treat! Our only regret is that we couldn't stay for longer. We would definitely return.

Handy for Villa Romana de Casale; large room.

Highly unusual place to stay which made things fascinating. No real problem parking in the street outside. Area map, telephone contact for queries and free WiFi was available. Pillowcases were changed swiftly when we spotted they'd been missed.

Fabulous room at a great location

Very beautifull decorated rooms, in the center near the cathedrall. With lots of free parking spots nearby. Instead of 2-person room I booked, we were placed in the most beautifull suite and had a whole floor to ourselfs. I spend a lot of time checking out all the antiquities and other curiosities that were present on the floor. The shower was great, with lots of space inside. And from the kitchen we had a great view over the city. The daughter of the owner welcomed us and made sure everything was to our liking. We’re happy and gratefull to have stayed in Kimera.

An unmissable experience!

B&B Kimera was an experience and in a fabulous location next to the Duomo in Piazze Almera. Our host Rita welcomed us having waited far too long for our arrival. (Thank you again). We felt like we were in her home and had a whole apartment to ourselves which was lovely. Local restaurants were lovely too .

A lovely local experience.

It was like staying in a traditional local home - a unique experience. The flat was filled with beautiful antiques and objects of the region, and we were lucky enough to have the whole area including two bedrooms, two bathrooms, dining and lounge reserved for our group of five. The host was very caring, and brought a delicious breakfast including home made chocolate cake. Brilliant location in the heart of the beautiful old town. The fridge was stocked with water and some fruit, and there was a generous supply of coffee and teas. Amazing value for the price and exactly as pictured online.

Appartment is next to Duomo which makes it a great place for sightseeing. Host Mrs Kimera is super nice, very helpful - she recommended us La Tavernetta - restaurant with only fish dishes which was great! Apartment itself was very clean, tastefully furnished and it looks that Mrs Kimera put a heart into it. Breakfeast was more than we could eat - also very tasty. Surely would reccomend!!!

Highly recommended. We can't wait to visit again .

From the start we found our host to be welcoming helpful friendly and informative. We loved the uniqueness of this house with all the ceramics and antiques. The breakfast was exceptional and plentiful. There was tea and coffee available at all-time all the usual facilities plus extra towels and blankets. We live this place and what makes it so special is the host herself! True sicilia hospitality . We are very happy we found this place

We were in the lap of luxury and well taken care of - Rita was very attentive and a great person!

When we arrived I expected a regular room in a B&B. I was surprised when we were shown to an entire floor of an ancient Palazzo! We had an entire suite with kitchen, master bedroom, second bedroom (which we used for our luggage), bathroom, dining room, sitting room. It was a special treat to meet Rita Chiaramonte! As someone who is interested in history, I can tell you that the Chiaramonte family is Ancient Royalty and the fact that they are still around is fantastic! It was an honor to meet her and gab about her family. She is a joy to interact with and very knowledgable. We took her advice for a restaurant and had one of the best meals here in Sicily. Her place is at the top of the town and well situated for all of the sights in Piazza Armerina.
