This was a great place to stay, spacious,stylish and brilliantly situated near to the Politeama and the city centre. The flat is on the third floor above ground so great views and quiet but be prepared to walk up 76 steps as there isn't a lift! The apartment and our hosts ticked all the boxes and deserve the top star ratings we gave to all categories. Couple of tips. Take the tour round the Theatro Massimo and have a drink in their bistro bar afterwards. Francesco recommended Tondo for pizzza but you need to book especially on a Saturday as it is exceptional. Couple of other tips we found- great local pasticceria about 5 mins walk away 'Frattelli Magri'and if you like the traditional Sicilian bread, which is difficult to find, there's a baker that comes to the corner of the street on Sunday morning and sells from the back of his car. We'll have no hesitation in booking this again when returning to Palermo.
