Having just spent a week in Chiara’s apartment and explored much of Palermo in that time, I can confidently say this is the best location in the whole city. It’s a short walk to all the major sites and surrounded by restaurants, bars, cafes and a plethora of arts and crafts shops, yet incredibly quiet and relaxing at the same time. The apartment was beautiful and spotlessly clean. Chiara couldn’t have been a better host, welcoming us upon arrival (in spite of a severe storm raging) and arranging for a family member to reopen the apartment after we’d checked out as I’d managed to leave my wallet behind. We can’t wait to come back!
