A trip to Sicily would not be the same if you were to stay anywhere but Giorgio's place! Located 2 minutes walk from the Grand Palace and 5 to the Cathedral, the hostel is very accessible to everything, very clean and spacious and has a nice home feel to it, with a very hardy breakfast before you set out on your day. More importantly you come to Sicily a keen visitor and you leave with a new best friend. Giorgio goes out of his way to make your stay as enjoyable as he can. Our first night in Palermo he took us and some other travellors to a local pizzera, the next day he took us to Cefalu to sightsee and sit on the sand and to the best ice-cream place on the beach! Then promptly drove us back to Palermo to get some last minute shopping in before the shops closed and then to dinner with local Sicilians in a famous pizzera. Sunday on our request he took us to a remote spiritual medieval village high up inthe mountains - Erice which had more beauty than be described. We felt very much at home and also very looked after and spoilt. We saw more in our 4 days in Sicily than we thought possible!

This man has a wonderful hostel and an even kinder heart. I could not recommend a place anymore than this one, if you were to not stay at Giorgio's place then you would be missing one of the best sites and company of Sicily!!

For the price you get more than you ever thought possible!!

We just returned from 2 weeks in Sicilia, and 3 nights with Giorgio in Palermo. He was sincerely just a wonderful, helpful good person. His place was very clean, big rooms with high celings, and fun other guests. The pasteries were TOO GOOD at breakfast! Giorgio did several things for us beyond the call of duty, and we would stay with him again.

I stayed with Giorgio in late April, and after reading the other reviews on this page, I guess everything's been said at least once, but...
Arriving by plane, I took the train to Orleans Station, where Giorgio recieved me (small station, so it's easy to find each other).
He took me to the B&B and showed me around.
The atmosphere of the B&B makes you "connect" with the other guests, which is great when you travel alone, as I do.
One night he invited Patrick (who've written a review on this page as well - hi Patrick!) to join us for a pub crawl, even if Patrick was not staying with us that night! So everyone who've written that you're welcome at Giorgio's House and that he feels like a good friend, is right.
I think he took us on tours about every other night - great!
And last but not least: The breakfast buffet... I'm used to the "continental breakfast" of Northern Italy (a dry piece of bread and a cup of coffee), but Giorgio's breakfast is the best. My personal favorite: Croissant with Nutella in it!!!
I can't believe it's so cheap - thanks Giorgio

My husband and I started our Sicily trip in Palermo by flying in and taking the city train. Giorgio met us on time and drove us the few blocks to the B and B. It is very conveniently located and is in walking distance of so many interesting sites. We settled in easily; the place is comfortable, clean, and was neatly made up with even a little candy on the bed. Breakfast was delicious with pastry from the bakery downstairs. We went on a group dinner and after-dinner stroll throughout the city. This was a very nice way to meet the other guests and also to experience some of the city with a resident. We also ended our trip in Palermo and that was a good idea as it is so easy to walk to the train station to get back to the airport. I would recomment Giorgio's House to any traveler. It is reasonably priced for an added plus.
