My room was spacious and comfortable with nice amenities. The location is excellent, with a five minute walk to the central train station as well as the airport shuttle. Practically next door is the bus stop (fermata) for the free-- yes free!-- shuttle bus which drives all around the historic district with stops at major attractions. It runs approximately every twenty minutes and it is a great way to see historic Palermo. The hostesses Paola and her daughter, also named Paola, are very gracious. They even cooked a delicious, traditional Sicilian dinner one evening for all guests. It is advisable though, to have a portable translation device with you because their english is limited. All in all, it was a nice experience. The price is reasonable and if you appreciate the arts, which I do, then this is the place for you. ##### christine Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ilaria & Paul, Roma Sep 28, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Semplicemente geniale! Situato in una posizione strategica per visitare Palermo in tutta tranquillità la dimora del genio è stata la base perfetta per il nostro soggiorno a Palermo. Siamo stati accolti dalla Signora Paola che ci ha subito fatto sentire a nostro agio e consigliato cosa vedere a Palermo anche fuori dai soliti circuiti turistici. La dimora del genio è arredata squisitamente e la nostra camera era bellissima e pulitissima. Il soffitto era tutto affrescato mentre le maioliche della tradizione siciliana arredavano il bagno e il pavimento. La colazione inoltre è stata la ciliegina sulla torta, oltre a dolci tipici siciliani fatti in casa abbiamo avuto la possibilità di gustare dei succhi di frutta fatti in casa davvero ottimi. Badare bene non si parla della solita spremuta d'arancia ma di succhi di melone, pesca e pera e così via tutti preparati giornalmente con frutta fresca e succosa. Consigliatissimo per tutto! ##### Ilaria & Paul Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 24, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice hotel with beautiful interior We experienced a very warm welcome by the very friendly owner (who unfortunately doesn't speak English very well, but makes up for it with her enthusiasm), the apartement is clean and right in the middle of the old part of Palermo. The rooms are equipped with beautiful old furnitures, The central train and bus station is a 10 minutes walk away and there are some fun bars right across the streets. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 29, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Som att bo i en borgarvåning Enastående patriciervåning med air av gångna tider, storslagna salar med en blandning av modern design, äkta mattor och kuriosa. Den gamla damen som tog emot mig bjöd på vatten och färska fikon. Lite svårt att hitta, för det står ingen skylt på dörren. Takfläkt ovanför sängen, badrum med dusch, handdukar och schampo. Sympatisk service: när jag berättade att jag skulle avresa före frukosten, ställde man in en termos med kaffe och en påse kakor så att jag int ebehövde ge mig av helt på fastande mage. Kvarteret är ganska ruffigt, men det är nära centralstationen och busstationen. Något bullrig nattmiljö. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Claudia, Winterthur, Schweiz Oct 19, 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel = Baustelle Bei unserer Ankunft (16.10.14) war dieses B&B eine Baustelle, weder auf unser Klingeln, noch auf unsere Anrufe hat jemand reagiert. So mussten wir unsere Nacht in Palermo in einem anderen Hotel verbringen. ##### Claudia ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise & Robert Oct 3, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Refined & Real Our first 4 of a 14 day visit to Sicily were in Palermo, staying at La Dimora El Genio. Our Italian is virtually non-existent, and our host, Paola has practically no English, but we communicated very successfully. This is not a 5 star brand name hotel, this is a gracious,spacious, family home which provided us with a wonderful introduction to Sicily. ##### Louise & Robert ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dr GIOVANNONI, France Oct 1, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Remarquable. De gentillesse, et de beauté du lieu. En déplacement professionnel d'une semaine à Palerme, qui est une ville que je commence à bien connaître, il était nécessaire que je sois bien logé, dans un lieu paisible et accueillant. L'appartement est envoutant, beau comme la maison de parents issus d'une longue tradition bourgeoise, et la propriétaire des lieux est extrêmement agréable. L'emplacement est parfait (gare à 5 mn à pied, centre historique à 10 mn, 1/4 heure). Que demander de plus ? ##### Dr GIOVANNONI ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grazia Jun 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Grazia Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Johan Oct 10, 2022 ##### Johan Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tia Sep 28, 2022 ##### Tia Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hans Rune Jun 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Hans Rune Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 4, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in May 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Villa Sant'Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-SantAndrea.h889626.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Isola Bella](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Isola-Bella.h1476673.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hotel Palermo Centro](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Mercure-Hotel-Palermo-Centro.h1145743.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Walt Disney World® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Walt-Disney-World-Resort-Hotels.0-l6034120-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Timeo.h889634.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tobermory](https://www.expedia.ca/Tobermory-Hotels.d59192.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-San-Domenico-Palace.h54173.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Pearson Airport Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Pearson-Airport-Station-Hotels.d553248635997306700.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [NH Collection Taormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-NH-Collection-Taormina.h2601418.Hotel-Information) > > [Palace Catania | UNA Esperienze](https://www.expedia.ca/Catania-Hotels-Palace-Catania-UNA-Esperienze.h1193988.Hotel-Information) > > [La Plage Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-La-Plage-Resort.h1723708.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Singapore](https://www.expedia.ca/Singapore-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d3168-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Politeama](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Politeama.h1427364.Hotel-Information) > > [Ortea Palace Hotel, Sicily, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Ortea-Palace-Luxury-Hotel.h17825841.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-The-Grove-Resort-Water-Park-Orlando.h4691657.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels.d178296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Copenhagen](https://www.expedia.ca/Copenhagen-Hotels.d178252.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Palms Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-The-Palms-Casino-Resort.h792446.Hotel-Information) > > [Mazzarò Sea Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Mazzaro-Sea-Palace-VRetreats.h983846.Hotel-Information) > > [Rocco Forte Villa Igiea](https://www.expedia.ca/Palermo-Hotels-Rocco-Forte-Villa-Igiea.h1671.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Paradiso](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Paradiso.h1134809.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Buenos Aires (EZE) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/eze/yyz/buenos-aires-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Frankfurt (FRA) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fra/yul/frankfurt-to-montreal) > > [Flights from St. John's (YYT) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyt/yyz/st-johns-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Raleigh (RDU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/rdu/montreal-to-raleigh) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mia/toronto-to-miami) > > [Emirates](https://www.expedia.ca/Emirates-Flights.cEK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yeg/calgary-to-edmonton) > > [American Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/American-Airlines-Flights.cAA.Travel-Guide-Airlines)
