This very interesting and artsy apartment still had a touch of home and felt comfortable. Paola had twisted her ankle just hours before our arrival, but still made sure we were well taken care of and was helpful and friendly. The location is great, easily within walking distance of the bus/train station as well as the major sites in Palermo. Great place to stay. We would stay here again.

Convenient area in historic district. Third floor walk-up, no elevator. Elegant large rooms. Host was pleasant but distracted so not as much help finding local info. Breakfast was slim by B&B standards- bread, jam, coffee. Boiled eggs were provided on request.

A Pleasant Stay

This beautiful bed & breakfast is reminiscent of a small palazzo and it features lovely artwork. My room was spacious and comfortable with nice amenities. The location is excellent, with a five minute walk to the central train station as well as the airport shuttle. Practically next door is the bus stop (fermata) for the free-- yes free!-- shuttle bus which drives all around the historic district with stops at major attractions. It runs approximately every twenty minutes and it is a great way to see historic Palermo. The hostesses Paola and her daughter, also named Paola, are very gracious. They even cooked a delicious, traditional Sicilian dinner one evening for all guests. It is advisable though, to have a portable translation device with you because their english is limited. All in all, it was a nice experience. The price is reasonable and if you appreciate the arts, which I do, then this is the place for you.

Refined & Real

Our first 4 of a 14 day visit to Sicily were in Palermo, staying at La Dimora El Genio. Our Italian is virtually non-existent, and our host, Paola has practically no English, but we communicated very successfully. This is not a 5 star brand name hotel, this is a gracious,spacious, family home which provided us with a wonderful introduction to Sicily.

Nascosto e sorprendente

Posizione comodissima a due passi dalla stazione e da una piazzetta con una tranquilla vita notturna. Personale gentile. Arredamento e ambienti originali che creano una piacevole atmosfera. Purtroppo la struttura è priva di insegne e non sono presenti indicazioni sul citofono e quindi è di difficile individuazione.

A perfect experience

Fantastic interior and a perfect experience to stay at this place, just note that they send emails in Italian and hardly speak English. It's more like an apartment with a fantastic interior. Make sure you send them an email and call them upon arrival, since there is no reception.
