If you are looking for a modern place to stay in Palermo, then the Visum apartment is it.
The views from the huge terraces are amazing, it has the best views in the city. The building is right by the ferry port, but not noisy, and looks out over the whole city.
The apartment is large, comfortable and well equipped, even with toiletries in the bathrooms.
Location couldn't be much better, and is only a short walk, max 10 minutes, from the sights of the Teatro Massimo and Vucciria market.
Alessandro was a great host, even sending regular messages to make sure everything was ok, and arranged taxi transfers for us, to and from the airport.
If we head back to Palermo, this will be the first place we try to book.
