Sandro’s apartment in person is far more glorious than the photos display. Sandro himself is a most gracious host and helped us tremendously during our stay. Unfortunately on the first night in Palermo I broke my ankle and was told by local doctors to rest for 8-10 days before returning to the States for surgery. Sandro agreed to extend my stay by two days without hesitation to meet our travel plans. During this lengthened rest, I felt quite tranquil in his fabulous apartment, soothed by the décor and the comfort of the salon and bedroom. The kitchen is extremely well supplied with virtually every amenity needed, as are the two bathrooms. This flat could easily be a luxury residence on a resort island. We have rented 50-plus times in Italy and have found no better in our travels. The option for paid parking was a most reasonable rate, and given the crowded streets, extremely helpful. We hope to return to my father’s province and would be so grateful if Sandro would accept us again.
