We felt really at home in Silvia's studio apartment. It is quite small but for 2 people more than enough, especially if you love staying outside like we did on the big balcony or in Silvia's very beautiful and well kept garden (huge palm trees really give you that vacation feeling). The pool is great and we loved swimming after a day of sightseeing to refresh. We would recommend a car as it will make getting from A to B so much easier, however you can walk to the beach and supermarket or use public transport to get into Palermo.
