Our stay at Ugo's penthouse apartment was great, centrally located in the old town with stunning views from the balconies and a refreshing space on the roof terrace which often had a mild and welcome breeze.
Palermo in July is hot and if you're not acclimatised to the heat it can be intense.
This apartment is very spacious and suits a small group, note aircon is only in the loft bedroom, (fans in downstairs bedrooms). As the apartment is in a vibrant part of town, the street life can be loud and it isn't easy to sleep with windows open to the streets. It is much quieter with windows shut but harder to cool due to fan only.
Ugo is a great host, his communication is impeccable and he helped us a lot.
