Fabrizio along with his charming little best friend (his doggie Nerino) are both lovely hosts. His apartment was colorful and decorated with interesting art peices he has acquiredin during his world travels. I have never seen a more quite doggie either. From the moment that Fabrizio picked me up from the airport I felt safe and relaxed as if I were visiting with a family member in Palermo. I was very impressed when he gave me the tour of my spacious suite and it was so clean it shined and smelled fresh. The bathroom was equally beautiful, fresh, & the water was always hot with great pressure. The bed was comfortable and the view of the mountains from my patio was amazing. I booked this Airbnb mostly due to other's reviews about how good Fabrizio's breakfast is, and I was not disappointed. He laid out a very lavish spread of all kinds of fruits, cereals, breads, yogurts, and various other delights. One day I ate so much I had to lay down after breakfast. Fabrizio made sure that I was comfortable, fed, and had good directions on how to get around to see the best things in the city. There is a bus stop directly in front of his building which made the ride into Palermo or Mondello convenient. Or, I could walk about 10 minutes to the Mondello beach. I came to Palermo for a relaxing beach vacation and I got so much more because I got to meet a new friend. Thank you Fabrizio for your hospitality and your kindness, I will never forget it.
