Franco’s home is the perfect oasis from which to explore Palermo. The location is fantastic—just steps from one of Palermo’s most prominent pedestrian streets, it is close to many amenities and yet very quiet at night. The apartment itself is cool (a godsend in the heat), stylish, and thoughtfully equipped (tea, coffee, etc). The garden patio was the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine. We could not have asked for more.
