We had some concerns when we booked sand and stone apartments, based on the low price and what to expect and we could not have been more pleasantly surprised.
The apartments were super new and fresh (we were told that we were their first guests), spotlessly clean, fully equipped, comfortable and well designed.
You can easily reach them (80m walk) from the train station (Notarbartolo) which has direct connection to the airport of Palermo. They are located outside the ZTL zone, so you can also reach them easily by car and parking (where you must pay) is available in 50 m.
The location of the apartments is ideal with shops all around, restaurants, bars, banks, super markets, pastry shops and you feel that you stay in a very secure, central and vivid neighbourhood.
From the apartments you can easily walk to the historic centre of Palermo within 10 minutes throughout pleasant boulevards with shops, boutiques, cafes etc, or you can take the bus, which transfers you to the historic centre of the city in 5 minutes. The bus station is just in front of the apartments.
Loredana, the owner was extremely helpful and polite and has paid extreme attention to detail and quality of the rooms.
Sand and Stone apartments represent a great stay and an extremely good value for money and we will certainly return.
