About
Guest House Bosco
Guest House Bosco is a small, three-star property set in a historic building on Piazza Giovanni Amendola, in the heart of Palermo. With just six rooms, it offers a personal, unhurried atmosphere where the staff can focus on each guest. The rooms are simple and clean, with city views, parquet floors, and essential comforts like air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, and flat-screen TVs.
The guest house is practical and well-equipped for its size: there's a lift, luggage storage, 24-hour security, and a vending machine for drinks and snacks. A paid airport shuttle can be arranged, and the location is convenient for exploring Palermo's historic center—the 17th-century Church of the Gesu is about a 19-minute walk away. Check-in is tight (11:30–12:00), so plan your arrival accordingly.
