After seeing a review of this place here on VT, and being amused by the...er...different website, I booked 5 nights here. It's the only B&B I've encountered that asks for your interests as part of your reservation. The B&B itself is a converted apartment, with three bedrooms housing up to six people, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and a small breakfast/sitting room. It's pleasant, with nice, spacious rooms, all kept in excellent condition. It's in a decent location, only a few minutes walk from the main streets of the old city of Palermo, the Palazzo Reale, the Cattedrale. And it's only a few minutes walk from Orleans train station. But what really makes the place is Giorgio's enthusiasm. He makes a real effort to make you feel welcome, picking you up from the train station (if you go to the right station, unlike us ;)) and offering you advice and free tours. On our first night he drove us to nearby Mondello to look around and try some Sicilian foods. Later on he took us on a walking tour of Palermo by night. He provides a level of service above that which you'd expect without being intrusive, and is good company to boot. It's a very good place to stay, and *very* reasonably priced.

Giorgio's house is located in the center of Palermo, not far from the central station. There are 3 big comfortable rooms, a kitchen, a dinner room and two bathrooms. The location is excellent as the major attractions of Palermo are in walking distance.
Best service ever received I recently (may 2003) went to Palermo Sicily with my wife. We stayed for 3 days at Giorgio's Home in Palermo. We received the most fantastic service we ever experienced. Giorgio agreed to pick us up at the Central Station of Palermo to drive us to our B&B, which in fact was not far from the station in the center of the city. There are only 3 rooms at Giorgio's house but they are very large and comfortable. Later Giorgio offered us a tour of the city at night, we were driven to Monreale (some 15 km outside Palermo) to see the mosaics, we went to Mondello to taste different sicilian specilities and on our departure Giogio brought us back to the station. All this service was completely free of any charge. It made our visit to Palermo really unforgettable.
