We stayed at the house for 10 days and what can we say; it was totally beyond our expectations. It is a high standard, large and beautifully decorated apartment located in the very central and charming old part of Palermo. It is fully furnished and if you are into cooking, the kitchen won’t disappoint you. It's also very close to the market Ballaró.

The housekeeper Olivia, who cooks, cleans and does laundry, is worth a huge part of the stay. She is super kind and very professional in everything that she does. She does groceries for you, prepares breakfast, cooks extremely nice food and takes care of you as if you where the most noble guests.

On the apartment there is a beautiful terrace with the most striking view over the Cathedral of Palermo, historical churches and monuments and the dramatic mountains surrounding the City. It was really a breathtaking and also calm spot where we would stay daytime cooling our self in the small but nice Jacuzzi and sipping wine and enjoying meals in the evening.

Before booking we where a bit reluctant staying in an apartment in the city due to the heat during summer. I don't know what central air conditioning that Mrs S has, but is was very comfortable temperature. It was even and nice, and not like those dry icing air conditioners.

It is with hesitation we write this review, because it is like a secret you want to keep to yourself, but really if you were considering staying at a 5 star hotel in Palermo you ought to think twice, this is as good as it can get!
