<3 Dear reader, do stay here! <3
In short: Rosario & Caterina's wonderful hosting skills really made us feel at home. We felt like we were visiting good old friends! <3
Long story:
Since my partner and I only arrived to Palermo one day before our flight back home from our Sicily round-trip, we stayed for only one night in the city.
We met with Caterina, which gave us a warm welcome and some great tips on what we can explore in the neighbourhood and in the city.
We shared a few laughs. Some more. And then Caterina invited us to join her and Rosario to have dinner with some friends. We said yes. And it was great!
We went to HAMA restaurant -- just a few minutes by foot away. (The location of Rosario & Caterina's AirBnB is very central. Perfect to explore the city as a pedestrian.) In this restaurant they serve delicious Italian and Ghanese food. But there was also some ear candy: Chris Obehi gave a concert at HAMA. (Check him out on YouTube or on Spotify.)
The night ended late at home with fireworks close to the nearby market starting while I was in the shower -- what a view through the bathroom windows!
The comfy bed in the beautiful room gave us a good nights rest. After an easygoing start into the next day and getting the packing done, Rosario & Caterina treated us with a yummy breakfast (fruits, pastries, coffee and some juice).
They also let us leave our bags at the reception so that we can lightweightly explore the vibrant city until we have to pick them up for catching the train to the airport.
When we come back to Palermo, we will stay there again, for sure! Thank you for the wonderful hours, Caterina & Rosario, we had a blast!
Come visit us in Vienna :)
Many hugs from Austria,
Sebastian & Marilen
