This hotel was very cheap to book yet amazing. Friendly staff and great quality food at the restaurant. Unfortunately they didn't have chamomile available nor gluten free options for breakfast and the breakfast options were very limited but you can't blame them since they're not very busy. The airport doesn't have a straight road to them so they're not in a popular position but it's by far the closest to the airport overall and a few minutes walk from the nice beach.

The whole building is pristine clean and you get the usual soaps and towel service as well as normal tv. There's no phone or room service in the rooms but they're all you need for a short stay.

Overall I would definitely book here again and it's possible to request the right breakfast if emailing them in advance.

Airport shuttle service available for €30 euros and needs to be pre booked by emailing the hotel.

The beach nearby is a bit bare in winter and rubbish doesn't get cleaned as often as you would like but it's nice nonetheless with a really nice view.

A bar (cafés are called bar in Italian) is available near the beach but they didn't have any gluten free options there either aside from the crisps and no ice creams in winter.

Palermo airport assistance

 Recently I went home for Christmas and went through Palermo as it was the easiest way given the plane times. As usual since I injured my back I had to book assistance and I was positively impressed with the friendliness and professionalism. Not so much impressed with how dirty the elevator to the plane was but that's not the assistance staff's fault. 

Overall highly recommend.

Indipendence day - Resurgence

Full of emotion from tears to laughter, a bit excessive and unrealistically complex in a couple of scenes, would probably have benefit from something less chaotic, more possible concepts in said scenes.
Overall a good film, although some of the acting leaves room for improvement. Iconic characters' performance outstanding as always.
I would wait the dvd release but it was enjoyable enough in the cinema.

The Lady and the Highwayman

Beautiful, Romantic love story that will bring you emotions through the brilliant acting of a young Hugh Grant and Emma Samms, stunningly beautiful and innocent.
Buy dvd and watch any night you need a good love story.

B&B CASA GIANNA CIAMPINO

The B&B CASA GIANNA in Ciampino is a very nice place, quiet, well managed and friendly where we spent the night twice already in different occasions when we needed to be close to the airport for travelling to Scotland for visiting friends and family. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the breakfast is varied and nutritious. They have travel cots available and being late is not an issue. There is a restaurant in walking distance that does fabulous pizza.

The only disadvantage is a steep downhill to get in the garage if you reach the place by car.

Prices are excellent.

Notting Hill

Romantic film featuring a splendid Julia Roberts in the role of a superstar that is, in fact, also just a girl with feelings and is trying to be seen as that. Hugh Grant is a very cute, polite and clever man that happens to be a very big fan of her and has the wonderful experience of knowing her by accident.

Buy the film, worth every penny. Watch alone, with partner or friends.

The Business of Being Born

A must-see documentary for every expectant woman and future father. Eye opener on the corruption, misinformation, psychological terrorism revolving around what happens to pregnant women and babies.

Buy dvd and watch several times to become fully aware of what surrounds us.

FRINGE

Anna Torv plays (very well) Olivia Dunham (FBI agent), the main character in this sci-fi tv program about parallel universes, science, alternate technology and much more. Joshua Jackson sure stands out for his acting qualities as well as nerdy sex appeal figure. A brilliant John Noble who plays his roles without once making you feel like it's not real and together with all the cast helps immerse you in a vivid and entertaining world made of weird and wonderful experiences.

Beautifully acted by Blair Brown is the character of Nina Sharp that started as a contrast element to then become more of an ally to the team. Fun and down to earth is the character of Astrid, acted buy a cute Jasika Nicole.

For 8 episodes we can also enjoy the fantastic Leonard Nimoy, better known for his role of Spock in Star Treck.

Don't miss out on this if you love sci-fi.

Waiting

Rude, funny, entertaining, brilliant acting from a younger John Francis Daley

Rent dvd or buy for entertaining yourself on boring nights.

Valentine's Day

Entertaining romantic comedy, happy ending and loving feelings.

Rent dvd or buy if you want to indulge in repeated sweetness.

Machete

Splatter comedy. Funny, entertaining.

Rent dvd.

Little Fockers

Not as good as I expected it. The plot is not much about the kids and still about the trust issues between father in law and Gaylord.

Entertaining but could have been much better.

Just for boring nights or to complete the lot in a Focker marathon, rent dvd.

Meet Bill

The end is not something you expect and personally I did not enjoy it as it was missing something like if the film got shortened for lack of funds.

Rent the dvd to watch it only if you want to enjoy the beautiful Elizabeth, Jessica and Logan. Sorry Aaron but your hairstyle totally ruins it for you.

The Eye

Not too bad horror-thriller-wise, not too scary. For a night with friends. Rent dvd.

Inception

Leonardo di Caprio in a very well acted film about dreams, reality and a matrix-like environment with the same amount of action but less risks. A journey through human psyche, love and affection.

Buy dvd.

The firm

Old film with Tom Cruise, great as usal, in an intricate story about hidden corruption, murder and deceit that sees a young, ambitious and very clever lawyer managing to get through it all without loosing his life.

Buy or rent dvd.

Personal Consideration: Jeanne Tripplehorn reminds me a lot of Katherine Heigl

Scott Pilgrim VS The World - The Film

Awesome acting, exceptional cast, extremely ridiculous, extremely funny romantic comedy, a must see.

Ponte d'Augusto Restaurant in Narni Scalo, Italy

The menu has many different local dishes to choose from although not much of a diverse choice, the food is excellent, the portions are sumptuous, the condiments are either local themselves with a high standard quality or very good anyway. Prices are reasonable. I would eat there every other day if I could.The personnel is nice and helpful.

Youth in Revolt

Hilarious, well acted, bad things are done in the name of a first time infatuation. Kids, don't take it as an example.

Taking chances

Unfinished feeling, leaves you with your mouth open in disappointment. Well acted, but ultimately boring.

Rent on dvd only if you're a Justin Long fan.

Drag me to Hell

Well acted, very gross, no happy ending.

If you like horror movies rent the dvd.
