For a one week visit to Palermo we carefully selected an appropriate place to stay, found 'Indipendenza Casa Vacanza' and were not disappointed. This studio type of accomodation provides everything you need for experiencing fascinating Palermo. (1) An optimal location close to Palazzo Reale from which you can visit all major places of interest either by feet, or by direct busus starting right on your front door (Piazza Independenza), e.g. to Monreale. (2) Perfect equipment in the beautifully and creatively designed living room and kitchen, a separate bedroom, and a nice bathroom. (3) A really lovely small terrazza in front of the kitchen with a view to the tip of Porta Nuova, where we spent all our breakfasts and some of the home-cooked dinners with gorgeous food bought in nearby markets. (4) Perfectly working WiFi. (5) An easy check in / check out procedure. Thanks Valentina for providding this highly recommendable place.
