Last summer, I stayed here during my trip to Palermo and was happy with my choice. It’s right in the city center, within walking distance of the Cathedral. My room was stylish, clean and spacious, with a private bathroom and a balcony overlooking a quiet courtyard. There was Wi-Fi and a coworking zone, and breakfast had plenty of variety. The house is in a closed private area, which makes it feel secure, something that matters to a girl in Palermo. You enter the courtyard from the main street. Giancarlo is a very nice, smart guy who can give lots of advice, from how to find the house to where to get the best local food and what’s worth visiting. I’d recommend staying here 100%.
Giancarlo made the stay especially welcoming. He was attentive and ready to help whenever needed. The house itself is clean, modern, well cared for, and spacious. Getting around the city center on foot is easy, and the place has no architectural barriers. If you're arriving by car, free parking is easy to find nearby. I'd gladly recommend it for a Palermo stay.
We only had a short time in Palermo, but Giancarlo's tips helped us make the most of it. He suggested sights and places for trying local specialties, and his enthusiasm for the city made us appreciate it even more. He greeted us with a lovely coffee and was the picture of Sicilian hospitality. The room was beautifully furnished, and the historic center is just a few steps away. He's also a nature guide and runs bike tours around the city and nearby nature reserves.
The Norman Palace Guest House feels welcoming and has everything you need to settle in, with bright rooms, useful bathrooms, and spotless interiors. It's been fully renovated, too. The central spot means the Cathedral, Teatro Massimo, and other main sights are only a short walk away. The host brings an international outlook along with a strong Sicilian sense of hospitality, and gave me tips that helped me feel part of Palermo. I loved my stay and would choose it again if I return.
Giancarlo was kind and easy to talk to, and could point me in the right direction, arrange a transfer, and suggest local food spots and things to see. He clearly wants guests to be comfortable. I was glad I chose this place and recommend it. My room was roomy and tidy, with its own bathroom and a balcony facing a quiet courtyard. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, with a good spread for different tastes, and Wi-Fi was available. The building entrance is gated, with a door onto the main street, which felt like an important safety feature as a woman traveling in Palermo. The location is right in the historic center, a short walk from the Cathedral.
