I had a wonderful stay at Alberto D’Arpo’s home. I felt an immediate kinship with him and enjoyed his sense of humor, his knowledge and love of his of his home city Palermo. I appreciated that he marked on the tourist map of Palermo numerous places to find small local non tourists restaurants which I went to and had excellent meals and friendly atmosphere. If you want a place to stay that’s at the crossroads of Palermo, (Via Roma and Via Vittorio Emanuele) close to all the famous markets, the sea, historical sites, rail and bus connections with a host that that is thoughtful, and keeps a clean friendly BnB. I will stay at Alberto’s home when I return to finish my tour of Sicily.
