This was a wonderful place for the four of us to stay; 2 senior couples. We loved spending our evenings on the terrace playing cards, and loved the air conditioners in each of the bedrooms. Only the master bedroom has a large bed. When going to the beaches that have umbrellas and lounges to rent, it really is quite far to walk, so we suggest driving your car down to a residential area that is closer to those beaches, and walk from there. The beaches are pure heaven! Our last evening, we ate at the restaurant next to the market that is a block away, and really loved it. The market was also great as it had a fresh meat/cheese/fresh bread department. Lastly, there is a bus that can take you into Palermo, but don't know the details. If you drive into the city, go early while there is good street parking, or use 1 of 2 underground parking garages. You can Google their locations; "Parking in Palermo."
