Absolutely brilliant house to stay for a week or even more at the heart of Palermo. It is situated near all main places of interest in town: Teatro Massimo, Politeama Square and Teatro Garibaldi. These places are authentically loud at night and full of perfect cafes and places to eat, but nevertheless Casa di Tufo is totally silent at night time. Just 5 minutes of walk and you can get your rest. Also this place is situated in the classic italian house with all the attributes: huge windows, terraces and almost ancient archs. Pretty amazing. The house was extremely clean, we had brand new sheets. It has all needful kitchen stuff, and even stuff for bathroom. Two huge beds, one comfortable sofa for two persons and two bathrooms made this house our favorite. Also it is situated on the 5-minutes walk for the bus station to Mondello Beach. We had only two cons. The first one was about wifi router: connection was poor so we had to reboot it all the time for proper work. But we were like five people with 8-10 devices, and that was too much for that small thingy. If you're not so addicted to internet as we are, you wouldn't even notice the troubles. And the second concern is the lack of washing machine. But Calogero showed us perfect public wash near the house, so it wasn't big problem too.
And few words about our hosts. Angela & Calogero are truly amazing persons and wonderful hosts. They cleaned the house, met us just in the middle of the street, prepared enormous amount of touristic brochures and other information about places of interest. They even drove for us a map with best routes to the places of interest and left crucial information about nearest beaches. They even showed us the best lavanderia at Palermo with cheapest prices ever (5 euro per 18kg washing machine). Unbelievable hospitality, for sure.
So, if you're planning to visit Palermo for a while I recommend you to stay at Casa di Tufo with Angela & Calogero. The house is beautiful, neighborhood is silent at night ant close to all the important spots. And the hosts are lovely, for sure.
