An October 2005 trip to Palermo by jadednomad
Quote: For starting out in Sicily, Palermo is a good launching pad.
Hotel
The daytime front-desk staff is a bit snooty and not very helpful with English, despite intense efforts in broken Italian, but the waiters/bartenders/night staff is excellent. Vincenzo is the night guy, and he speaks excellent English and is great at helping out the less-fluent with Italian, directions, etc. Daniele is the bartender and, while a bit shy, also very helpful for that glass of Coke or even hot chocolate, in addition to the regular spirits.
