Description
We are a well established hostel of good reputation that is found right in the heart of Palermo.
We have extensive experience in hosting both guests and volunteers.
During your stay here you will be able to meet many travellers from all over the world, as well as taste the authentic local life.
We are right in the center, next to the ancient famous market of Ballaro. The main market of the city.
We have also connections with other hostels in Sicily and can arrange for weekend trips free of charge for you.
Our philosophy is do the right things and do them because they are correct. Not because you are looking for something in return. We have a proud reputation here in Palermo for this, and many satisfied customers.
We hope every volunteer will meet new friends and bring their own small touch to our place.
