If you like great food, historic and centrally located accommodations and amazingly hospitable hosts, don’t think, just book. The apartment is newly renovated; we were the first to occupy it. It’s just as the pictures suggest, well appointed, comfortable and extremely clean. The terrace off the kitchen overlooks a small courtyard and is a great place to unwind after a busy day.

Located in Capo Market, you walk out your front door into a fabulous bustling cobblestone street. The produce, meat and dry goods are all well priced and of high quality. The apartment is within easy walking distance of many of the most highly regarded sites of the city, including Teatro Massimo and the Palermo Cathedral.

Catarina could not be more accommodating and helpful, it just isn’t possible. She was never invasive, but was always there waiting to assist us if necessary. She checked in regularly to see if there was anything we needed. We spent a wonderful evening with her and her family on her home’s rooftop terrace. We dined on a superb traditional Sicilian meal and learned a lot about local culture and must see attractions.

Living in the midst of a historic market was an amazing privilege and myself and my husband could not have asked for a better apartment or host.
