We loved staying here. The location is ideal, within walking distance to the historic center but in a quiet, tree-lined area with lovely gardens, boutiques, tiny bars and cafes and shops. The apartment is beautiful with Liberty of Palermo ceilings, tiled floors, spacious rooms and balconies with shutters to let in light and air. Francesco gave us a detailed map, recommendations for restaurants, wine bars, long strolls. We loved walking into this palazzo with its heavy doors and stone walkways. There is some street noise but it's pleasant. You hear the happy chatter of people outside and you feel a part of the city. It dies down early enough in the evening for a good night's sleep. We will be returning.
