Francesco and Claudia's place is an amazing experience of art, culture and history. This is Sicily. And staying here will give you that sense 24/7. Francesco accomodated me and my family way beyond a normal host's duties. My aunt and uncle came a day early, and he help arrange for them a guide to take them around Palermo. I couldn't have asked for a better time.

The apartment is gorgeous. The view is indeed amazing. And I recommend it for anyone not wanting to spend their evenings fighting the hustle and bustle of the city to catch some Z's.

I did not meet Francesco, his housekeeper attended to us. But I hope to one day. I have a lot to thank him for.
