Giulio’s place is in a prime location to walk the waterfront during the day, and find local street food and restaurants in the evening. We stayed over on a Friday night, and there was a lively street party happening until late (bring earplugs if you go to bed early, or just join the party!) You can find a perfect mix of locals and travelers. But the best part of our stay was Giulio’s hospitality. We booked just 30 minutes before we arrived. He responded within minutes and met us at the spotless apartment. He gave us a map and pointed out Palermo highlights. And arranged a taxi to the airport for us the next day. My only regret is not having more time in Palermo. Gratzie mille!
