We travelled with our 14 month old daughter and made the right decision to stop at Casetta Alloro. We spent a whole month (Dec/Jan) in Palermo and the flat was more than appropriate for us. It is centrally located in the old town but at the same time relatively quite. Its a mere five min walk to the habour where you can park for free in case you hire a car. Also there is a newly opened childrens' playground and little promenade for walk-abouts. There is a supermarket Carrefour just around the corner (5 min walk) and on Via Gaetano Sgarlata there is a baby shop where we got all the necessary baby stuff we needed The bus stop for the free old-town mini bus is 1 min from the apartment, all major sight seeings and shopping areas are in walking distance (Teatro Massimo, Cappella Palatina, Via Roma and Via Maqueda, etc.). The flat was warm at all times thanks to central heating, we had Internet access for free and also there is a lift (which was ideal for us as for the push chair even though the flat is only on the first floor). The flat pictures are as it is. The kitchen was fully equipped and the lounge was small but sufficient for us. We did like the walk-in wardrobe of the bedroom as we could store not only our stuff but also our suitcases. Davide & Donatella were available at all times and very friendly and helpful. They both speak English and provided us with a baby cot and high chair. They were excellent host and we would stay at Casetta Alloro again if we were to go to Palermo.
