We were booked into the Real Umberto three bedroom apt but ended up moving to another property that Alessadro and his son Alberto manage - the Heima Suite. This review is for that property where we stayed for five nights.
The suite is in a rebuilt palazzo in the very best part of Palermo - the Kalsa neighborhood. It is large and beautifully appointed with over 4000 sf of living space. Alessandro and Alberto were gracious and helpful getting us situated including arranging a car hire from and to the airport - made getting acquainted to a new city so much easier. From the suite you can easily walk to all major sights in the city including the Teatro Massimo (the stunning old opera - take a tour including backstage), Quatro Canti (famous four corner intersection of pedestrian streets in the heart of the historical center), and the Palermo Cathedral (climb to the roof for a 360 degree view of the city and surrounding mountains. The father and son team are wonderful!!!!!
