Giovanni was an exceptional host. His communication regarding check in was really helpful, he assisted me with booking multi-day car parking at a car park nearby, gave brilliant restaurant recomendations and provided a map of the area highlighting good spots to visit. My room was spotlessly clean, and I was particularly impressed by the modern ensuite, which had been finished to a high standard and had an excellent shower - a good bathroom always makes you feel right at home! Finally, I feel Mama Tita is an excellent option for solo travellers. It is located in an upmarket side of town, and whilst the walk to and from the historical centre was 30 minutes (it felt like much less), it was along broad well-lit roads with nice shops - this meant I always felt safe walking home alone at night as a solo female traveller. Many thanks Giovanni, I will be sure to recommend Mama Tita to any friends visiting Palermo.

Mama Tita rooms are on the first floor of an old style building in a nice and quiet area of the city centre. Main historical sites are at walking distance (from 15min). Our room had high ceiling and a little balcony. It was clean, cosy and nicely decorated. We liked the chromotherapy lights in the shower cubicle. Roms are equipped with AC, kettle, small fridge and TV. The highlights of this accommodation are for sure the breakfast, which is served in the hall where all rooms open onto, and the host Giovanni. The breakfast is a typical sicilian breakfast with delicious traditional pastries and cakes, and you also have fresh fruit. Giovanni is a lovely and friendly host who tangibly enjoys talking to people and getting to know his guests. He shared with us precious tips of places to visit and to eat in Palermo and beyond. He gave us info on how to get to places, on parking and more. He helped us optimise our two days in this beautiful city. We will recommend Mama Tita to family and friends for sure and we hope to go back some day.

Just a minor suggestion, one of the two pillow sets provided could be replaced with lower pillows.

I have stayed here for 3 nights in the single-bed room. Even though I arrived the facility before the check-in time, my room was ready and I was very grateful for being able to settle in fastly and relax before going to explore the city. The place isn't at the historical center but the neighborhood is much more safer and peaceful, and you can reach there by walking from the city center or taking the AMAT city bus very easily. The room was very clean, and the bed was very big and comfy! You can access to Netflix and Youtube with the TV. The minibar was full with water, local beer and fruit juices. The breakfast was delicious, the apartment of the facility is historical and beautiful!!! Giovanni thinks everything for his visiters and treats to them like their one of his family member!!! He was very welcoming and helpful from the very first moment to the end :) He gave me the city map and marked every place to worth to visit. He also recommended to me the beautiful local restaurants, and encouraged me to improving my Italian <3 Giovanni thank you for everything; for your kindness, for your smiley face and very importantly THANK YOU for helping me to understanding the airport shuttle bus and making sure I got there safely and easily!!! As I said before, if I have a chance, one day I will come again, and that time I will bring my familly with me. This place will stay in my heart forever because it gave me the feeling of home. I hope anyone who desires to experience the same things be able to stay here and create a beautiful memory for themselves :) Che la vita ti sorrida sempre, Giovanni!!! Grazie mille!

We had a wonderful stay at Mama Tita. The owner (Giovanni) made us feel very welcome and was an excellent host, very friendly and accomodating - he also gave us lots of ideas for where to visit during our stay. We had to check in late at night due to a late flight but the check in was straight forward with clear instructions to follow. Our room was very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. It felt safe and homely too. The location is good, it is roughly a 10 minute walk from the ‘centre’ but much quieter which we were glad of. There are plenty of cafes/restaurants close by and we enjoyed the wander along to the busy centre. Breakfast was lovely with fresh baking each morning. If I return to Sicily I will definitely stay again and recommend to others!

Property is located a short distance from the historical centre of Palermo. The apartment was tastefully decorated and very stylish. The apartment was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed for our short stay. The bed was so comfortable, I actually had a few nights decent sleep which is rare for me. The host Giovanni is a lovely man, very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the local area. Breakfast was typical sweet Sicilian with cakes and pastries. I have some issues with sugar regulation so Giovanni brought me some boiled eggs from home as I couldn’t have the sweet breakfast. This was very thoughtful and kind and very much appreciated. We had a wonderful time visiting Palermo and would highly recommend this property as base if staying in the area. Check in/check out was swift and efficient. Thank you again Giovanni for a wonderful stay.

Giovanni was the best B&B host you could wish for! He made helpful recommendations and was a great resource to discover Palermo. He was so hospitable and made us feel right at home at Mama Tita. The location of the property is excellent for exploring and the room we stayed is was beautiful, very clean and comfortable. The breakfast he had prepared each morning was lovely! Best accommodation of our trip for sure! When we are back in Palermo we will definitely be staying here again!

The property has a lot of character and is very beautifully decorated. The rooms are spacious and very clean and the location is perfect! Plus the breakfast was delicious, with local delicacies fresh from the bakery. Giovanni is the kindest and most welcoming host ever :) he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and had the best stay possible. If I return to Palermo, I would 100% stay here again! Cannot recommend enough

Nothing, everything was perfect :)

Giovanni, the host, was amazing!! We would love to give 100 points. He helped us with travel arrangements from the airport, gave restaurant tips, map and recommendations what to do. The checkout day we could leave luggage at the hotel. Thanks for everything. We’ll be back. The hotel was good situated, close to public transport, bars and restaurants. A bus stop just around the corner and could drive easily to the city and beach. No problems. The rooms were beautiful!!! The bathrooms stunning!!! The best was the breakfast with typical Palermo cakes and fresh fruits, etc. We loved it really a lot and would recommend this place - it felt like home.

Nothing

When you are away from home, you appreciate the cleanliness the most, the host's ability to make you feel at home. That's how it was at Mama Tita room and breakfast. I loved the hospitality of Giovanni, a warm, welcoming, attentive and kind man, as well as his willingness to share with us the Sicilian culinary experience. Also, the attention to detail in terms of the design of the room, offers extra comfort, allowing you to feel that the host gave all his interest to make you feel good. All the information I received (about the tourist attractions in Palermo and its surroundings, about a restaurant with decent food) made me appreciate our host even more.

I’m sure this was one of my best experiences/hotel bookings ever. Giovanni is the kindest, welcoming and most caring host you can find in Palermo. He makes sure you’re comfortable and have a nice experience in Palermo. His restaurant tips have been amazing, since they are not the classic tourist restaurants but true Italian restaurants that serve typical sicilian food and very affordable. Furthermore, he makes excellent sightseeing suggestions and always strives to make your stay a fantastic experience. The B&B is located centrally, you’re able to enjoy Palermo by foot easily without being exactly in the busiest streets of Palermo, so you can enjoy a quiet night without it being too loud from the streets. The B&B is very modern, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Giovanni also serves a great typical Sicilian sweet breakfast, which is very delicious. He was the sweetest host you can imagine and surprised me with a birthday cake for my birthday. It was such a kind and heartfelt gesture. I can 100% recommend Giovanni and Mama Tita Rooms and Breakfast! Definitely will book again when I come back to Palermo.
