Stepping into Giusi’s apartment is stepping into your perfect Sicilian paradise. I only have one MAJOR complaint : I can’t stay longer! Everything was as it should be and even went above and beyond my expectations. Giusi is communicative, accommodating, friendly, and extremely helpful.
Where the apartment is concerned, there is no debate : it is lovely. It is well-decorated, spacious, modern and at the same time ancient; it even smells nice upon entry. Also, it’s silent, and with two working air conditioners, you couldn’t ask for more in hot and noisy Palermo!
When I booked, I was curious about the balcony, so I will talk more about that. There is a small balcony that looks onto the bell tower of a small church as well as onto the narrow alley in which the apartment is located. There’s not enough space to dine, but it’s a nice place to read or have a drink.
As far as amenities go, Giusi has thought of everything : a TV, blow dryer, utensils, coffee, olive oil, etc. She’s prepared lists of places to go during your stay, restaurant recommendations, and even provided an Italian 101 book to help you with your Italian!
A large part of the joy from this trip was being able to come back and call this place home for a week. For the price that’s being asked, you would be a fool not to pick this apartment. I was overwhelmingly happy with my stay and would be only so lucky to be able to stay a second time. What are you waiting for? Book!
