A charming 2-bedroom apartment that leads you to believe that you are truly living the Sicilian life. The sights, sounds, smells are outstanding. The unit is perfectly equipped with all that you could ever need—including tasty snacks—and is spotlessly clean. I loved it and did not want to leave!
Cinzia’s home is well-appointed in the middle of everything. There is no major attraction that is not within 5-10 mins walk. Take the steps up to the Palace and Cathedral (2 mins away) and voila, you are on the shopping streets and can let your adventures begin. The Central Station is a 12 min walk; if you are coming by train, get off at Palazzo d’Orléans which is a 3 min walk. And if you are hungry after your journey, don’t forget that the famous Ballaro market is just a hop, skip and jump away.
As for Cinzia herself, she is a nothing short of a perfectionist. Firstly, she picked me up from the train station (did not even ask her to) and the second you meet her, she is full of local tips. There is a wonderfully crafted binder in the home itself full of details on how to get around; and then she goes above and beyond to send you even more remotely. She even helped me out during a work emergency—so much beyond the call of duty and I am utterly grateful. Cinzia loves Sicilia and by the end of your trip, thanks to her you will love it even more.
