Francesco’s place is in a great location and very easy walk to the historic center and all transport. The area is upmarket with wide streets and trees. The building is an original Liberty style one with a great history - a bust of Francesco’s grandmother is in the entry foyer into the apartments - she originally lived in the place and the beautiful ceiling detail and floor tiles are her touches which have been kept in the restoration and redevelopment into two apartments. Francesco is a super super host - very thoughtful, friendly and helpful with advice for things to do and places to go - restaurants and cafes - also there is a good supermarket nearby too as well as great shops and boutiques. I definitely would stay at Francesco’s lovely apartment again - it’s a real retreat from the hustle and bustle from the extremely busy, gritty and touristy (but amazing) historic center. Palermo is a great city and I was lucky to be there during the Manifesta Art Festival. 👍👏👌😊
