This is an extraordinary place to stay in because you are staying in Juan Diago's family home so he can share his family history with you. He is an amazing ambassador for Palermo and was incredibly kind to us - sharing ideas for restaurants and and places to visit. He knows so much about the city that you feel you get an inside track and feel less like a tourist. The apartment was far too big for us as one couple but we knew that. We wanted space to relax and outdoor space too. There is small pool and a large terrace on the roof accessed by a spiral staircase which might not suit everyone. The apartment is charming and is furnished with lovely old pieces, presumably from the family. The floors are a particularly beautiful. The double bed is large and very comfortable. We didn't cook much but we had what we needed to make breakfast. There are bakeries nearby. We were unlucky with noisy building work behind the apartment but this will surely be only temporary. If you stay in this apartment you will experience a real piece of Palermo. A highlight for us was visiting the Tile Museum, 11 via Garibaldi - do not miss this absolute gem but phone to find out openings as you can only go during a tour (it's a private house).
