When we arrived, Alberto’s friend Loredana let us in and showed us around. There were always snacks for breakfast, and Alberto checked in a lot to make sure everything was ok. He also gave us a lot of great tips about getting around in/seeing Palermo. His house is beautiful (lots of bright colors and lovely furniture he’s restored himself! - we were delighted), clean, and situated in a perfect location for walking around the city center (actually right on the very first main street built in the city!). His walls were peppered with thank you notes from former guests, a testament to his great hospitality. We strongly recommend staying here, and if we were ever to return, we would definitely hit up Alberto.
