Perfect location with personal service, beautifully appointed and thoughtfully stocked, the Cala Tarzana offers all that and more! We could not have asked for a more wonderful place to stay or more gracious hosts.
Paola and Francesco greeted us in the apartment (though our delayed flight meant some waiting for them) and immediately made us feel welcome. They had stocked the apartment with some local pastries, welcome snacks, coffee, tea, milk, water, and wine - everything one could wish for. They also provided helpful recommendations on nearby places to eat and shop and were charming to boot.
As lovely as the photos of the apartment are in the listing, they do not do it justice. The space is stylish, comfortable, spacious, and inviting. It is almost as if you are staying in a fancy magazine shoot, but one with personal touches. We especially loved coffee on the balcony in the early morning.
The location was perfect - an easy walk to historic sites and local restaurants. (In fact, some of the city’s best restaurants [including a Michelin-starred one] are just steps away.) We could walk a while, rest a while, and go back out again.
Personable and warm, Paola and Francesco were also very responsive when we had an issue with the door. Despite the late hour, they got back to us immediately and were prepared to come to the apartment when the issue resolved itself. The next morning, they were there with a locksmith.
Paola and Francesco take great, and deserved, pride in their apartment and strive to make each guest’s stay enjoyable and memorable. As hosts ourselves, we appreciated their warm welcome, attention to detail, and personal attentiveness. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Palermo.
Grazie mille, Paola e Francesco!
