Luciana lives in an elegant and impressive, historical single-family home in Mondello, an upscale suburb outside of Palermo close to the beach. Her street is relatively quiet, which we appreciated. Her apartment has high-ceilings, tiled floors, and lots of historic details. Bed was comfortable and she had great airconditioning, which we appreciated, since Palermo can get hot in the summer. She was an extremely attentive and gracious hostess, even doing some things above and beyond, like finding me fresh milk (instead of the usual boxed, shelf-stable milk), herself when I asked where I could buy it. She is about a five-minute walk from a very popular (and crowded) beach. We had a car and were able to find parking on her street easily and use her house as a base to explore the city and its surrounds. We highly recommend. Thank you, Luciana!
