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.

Location-Right at edge of nice part of old town where the nice stores are The apt is refurbished in an old building. Decorations are very pretty. Nice fresh coffee, pastries and fruits daily. Owner is nice and helpful.

There were three of us in one big room. There was a bed and one sofa bed. The sofa bed was super uncomfortable and slanted to one side. We like to make our own dinner once in a while but here you cannot use the kitchen. This note is just FYI, I would not stay in Palermo next time as it is big city chaotic and dirty. Manedllo Beach, for example, is just 20 minutes away and beautiful.

Giovanni Is a amazing host! I travel alone and he gave me tips to eat out and organize a car the bus and train tickets. The breakfast was perfect and I was also asked if I would like something else additionally. The rooms are very cozy and modern and the mattresses are also very good! The bus to the beach is only 3min away, as is the bus to the train station and the airport. The center can be reached on foot about 10 min and by bus in 3 minutes. Thank you Giovanni! I'll be back for sure

We had the best stay at Mama Tita’s B&B! The location is in a quiet residential area but still walkable to sites and there are many good restaurants near by. Immaculate, stylishly decorated, fresh breakfasts and the most kind host you could ever imagine. Giovanni puts a lot of love into his work. He set up late check in for us and was super helpful in getting us a ride to the airport. His love for his family is reflected in the room names and the beautiful arts that brightens the place. I loved his refridgertor, I asked him to pose by it :)

Giovanni was an EXCELLENT host!!! I traveled with my parents and we absolutely loved this place. I can’t describe how comfortable, warm and homey Giovanni has made the space. It was so clean, and had all the necessary facilities for a short stay in Palermo. It truly felt like this place was created with so much love and attention to detail. I would DEFINITELY come back and recommend Mama Tita to anyone traveling to Palermo. It truly exceeded our expectations.

The breakfast choices could be slightly improved but it was overall more than enough!

It was very pleasant stay. Our host Giovanni was very kind and helpful. He gave us a map and a lot of useful information what to see in the town. Also the breakfasts was brilliant. The pastries were always very tasty, fresh from the bakery and different. Also there were some yogurts, muesli and coffee. The room was really nice and clean. Good gels/shampoos.

Only one tiny inconvenience is that we had to close the window with the untransparent inner door otherwise it would have been cold (we stayed in January). Everything else was great.

Our host was superb, very friendly and knowledgable on the places to visit and eat in the city and beyond. The rooms were fully renovated and felt fresh and clean. Beautifully completed. It was great to come back after a day of sightseeing and be able to have an afternoon slice of cake or biscuit. Having a fridge with cold drinks was a valued benefit.

I wish the street were cleaner with less litter around.

This was one of the best B and B’s I have ever stayed in! I was sent very clear instructions about how to get to the property and then how to get in out of hours. The communication from Giovanni was so helpful and it didn’t stop there! The room was incredibly clean, as was the whole property. I had a small issue with the shower which was resolved very quickly by the owner and he was on hand all the time for questions and for advice about the city. The breakfast was DELICIOUS with home made Italian specialities, fruits and cereal if wanted. I was also offered a range of teas (I don’t drink coffee). The area was perfect for exploring the city and was quiet at night so I slept really well. The air con was also a godsend!! Giovanni is a fount of information, from walking routes, to information about things to visit, to bus routes / prices and timetables. He was always on hand to answer any questions I had via Whatsapp which was very reassuring as a lone traveller. I paid €6.50 to catch the bus to and from the airport and the property was about a 5 minute walk from the bus stop. If this was a representation of hospitality in Italy, then I don’t know why I haven’t visited before!!! A fantastic place to stay and I will definitely return to explore more of Sicily!!

There really wasn’t anything I didn’t like! I loved this place, a real gem of a find.

The B&B was in a perfect location with lots of lovely restaurants and bars close by but a street away so you don’t hear any noise. . It was within walking distance of all the historical attractions in Palermo . Most importantly our room was perfect with a little balcony and a beautiful bathroom . Giovanni is an excellent host he gave us a map with a list of all the sites we should see , he made us feel extremely welcome and gave us the best cake I’ve ever eaten

Nothing to dislike
