This apartment was Perfetto! We stayed for the month of March and were very sad when it was time to leave as it felt like home. We thoroughly enjoyed the Italian charm of the neighborhood and the feel that you are in a friend’s nicely furnished, comfortable apartment. The apartment is centrally located to all sites. We especially enjoyed the view from the terrace of Palermo, the Cathedral, and the mountains that surround the city. The apartment is very warm and welcoming and well equipped for cooking, i.e.: Sharp knife, heavy skillet, pasta pot, cutting board. We cooked quite a bit and got our fresh vegetables, seafood, herbs and prepared foods from the old world Capo market downstairs. From the large terrace off the kitchen we enjoyed listening to the sounds of the neighborhood; the market vendors, the local kids playing after-school soccer in the church’s courtyard just downstairs. At night the busy neighborhood quiets down and the bedroom balcony door is amazingly sound proof so we did not hear any noise at night. Raffaella was very kind and responsive and if we had any questions or issues she addressed them in minutes.
