5 Amazing time -- couldn't stop laughing!
I went here with three girlfriends. we all quit our jobs in the States and took off for Europe. Giorgio's website provided a great predictor of what we were in for. Giorgio was an amazing host. he took us all around town to "rustic" restaurants and awesome bars. He even put us up in his mama's apartment when there was no room in his B&B for us to stay! Great times, great times. Anyone who misses this misses out!

5 This was a great way to see Palermo, especially if you have a limited amount of time. Giorgio takes you to all the major sites and fills you in on the events and history of the city, which is amazing. The B&B itself is very homely and cozy, and in an ideal spot for the cathedral, palace and catacombs. I'll definitely be going back, and I'll probably stay longer next time. As everyone else has already said, Giorgio, the host, is a star and he will do anything to make your visit one to remember!

5 Giorgio is a great host who, just to give you an idea of his politeness, arranged to pick me up at the airport with his car (I was arriving at midnight and the airport is some 30 km away from Palermo). He also offered to all guests his interesting evening tours in and around Palermo. And all this for free! He was available to give you advice or tips about anything you wanted to do, or just to discuss your impressions of Palermo. His B&B is also conveniently located (just five minutes away from a train stop and from the Royal Palace), clean, and quiet. And all this, including of course a nice breakfast, for an unbeatable price! Giorgio's House is certainly THE place to be if you want to stay in Palermo for a reasonable price and be assured of the warmest welcome. This time, I could only go to Palermo for a weekend, so I am looking forward to a longer visit (you can also use Giorgio's as a base for excursions to places near Palermo).

5 My girlfriend and I stayed at Giorgio's House for 5 nights and were never less than happy with our choice. It's in a pretty good location, near to public transport and the old city, and Giorgio is a particularly amiable host, providing good company, free tours and helpful advice. The rooms are large and in good condition, and the apartment in which you stay also includes a kitchen and small sitting/breakfast room. All in all, it's excellent value, with hospitality well above the norm but never intrusive or overbearing; a great place to stay in Palermo.

5 We had a wonderful holiday in Giorgio's House. We hope to come back very soon. It's a very very different bed and breakfast!
