The apartment is lovely, it is very homely and comfortable. It’s spotlessly clean. We stayed at the apartment for 8 days and it was lovely.
Antonio is the perfect host. He made sure everything was sorted. He welcomed us with cold water and a little something to eat.
There is WiFi, towels, all sorts of things you need, including a hair dryer.
When we first arrived, I was a little unsure of the neighbourhood, however, it’s safe. It is in the historical centre and has real character. The people are wonderful and incredibly friendly.
IMPORTANT TIP: Wave and talk to the neighbours! Many will want to speak to you and they are wonderful people. Get ready to speak to strangers because everyone will want to get to know you and look after you. Your trip will be so much better for it and it’s so much fun!
Many people speak English and other languages, however, many do not. Learn some basic Italian. Learns from the local people when you get there. They are so helpful!
The location is brilliant, many things are accessible on foot. Also check out the free bus, bus stop for this and other useful routes on Corso Tukory. There is so much to see, you will not be bored. Palermo is beautiful!
Less than 2 minutes walk from the door are two restaurants on the square behind the apartment. They are fantastic!!! There is a seafood restaurant! Try the pasta and the sword fish. There is also a pizzeria that is brilliant and has fantastic singers on a Thursday. Get ready to join the families because they all adopt people as there own!
It was hot and we did pay the €3 a day for air conditioning which was worth it. There are a lot of stairs to the apartment so there is a bit of extra exercise involved.
I cannot put into words how wonderful the people, the food and the place all are.
Grazi’ mille Antonio!
Te voglio bene Italia!
Ti amo Palermo e Sicilia!
