This was a most wonderful experience! We love Palermo but this apartment with its spectacular views and location made this trip most memorable. Everything was just perfect, from the initial warm greeting by Marina to our very last day, we felt comfortable and very fortunate to be in this lovely apartment. Both Marina and Giovanni responded immediately to the only request we had for assistance, and allowed us to park our car without worry or additional expense. The apartment had every amenity we required, was spotlessly clean, and beautifully appointed. We found water, a lovely bottle of wine, munchies and a bowl of fruit waiting for us. Hot water and the few days we needed heat worked beautifully. The building is a real architectural treasure and is very secure. Marina lives in the building so is on site if needed. The location itself is perfect both because of the water views but also because of its proximity to everything. There is also a free shuttle bus to all the major sites. The neighborhood boasts many restaurants at all ends of the price spectrum. plus a nearby Carrefour, a bread store, and a superb cafe and pastry shop. We definitely hope to return to Palermo and to this apartment. I recommend it highly!
