Valeria’s apartment offered a cool, clean, beautiful oasis amidst the summer heat in Palermo. It was very well appointed with super comfortable furniture, organized storage areas for clothes, etc., two air conditioners, and beautiful views from the two terraces—one from the living area, the other from the master bedroom. The terraces themselves are incredible—spacious and lush with green foliage. Thoughtful details abounded: water, milk, and beer in the fridge, snacks on the counter, various toiletries in the two (full) bathrooms, beach necessities. Valeria was herself consistently available to answer questions. Check-in went smoothly. The location in the Politeama neighborhood is close to high end shops, plenty of restaurants, and a few minutes walk to the airport shuttle and the bus to Mondello beach. A lovely place to stay while visiting Palermo!
