Our stay at Beppe and Mary’s place was wonderful. As corroborated by other reviews their hospitality is second to none and genuinely made us feel like friends staying for a few days.
We were greeted by a smorgasbord of culinary delights upon our arrival which set us up nicely to find our evening meal. The delicious fleshy fruits are prickly pears, favoured by Sicilians!
The place is tastefully and recently decorated, by Beppe and Mary’s hand, although the quality is higher than most professional jobs. Cleanliness is impeccable, speaking as someone who is hyper-aware of grime.
The location is ideal for exploring the city by foot. There is much to see in the in the old town’s immediate vicinity, but walk a bit further to swap rough-around-the-edges charm of markets and street food for that of the more bourgeois nature.
A note from experience - parking rules, protocol and enforcement in Sicily is still a bit of a mystery to me but we parked on the road by the flat (no lines) and very nearby in a free-for-all parking lot with no problems. Beppe will be happy to advise.
We would gladly return to this magical corner of Palermo, if for no other reason to savour Beppe and Mary’s hospitality once again.
