This is just...the best place you will ever stay in your life.

It is a palace. The interior is decorated with beautiful pieces and is graced with very tranquil lighting. From this apartment you can view the ancient Ballaro market and listen to men and women selling their wares from a distance as well as stand in the rooftop terrace and gaze out into the best view of the Palermo skyline.

On top of all this, Andrea and Alessia are gracious hosts. They gifted us some fantastic Sicilian white wine and a plate of the most delicious pastries.

There are plenty of great reviews on here and they are all absolutely true.

I will add however that this apartment is on the 2nd Floor, which, in walking terms, is more like the 4th floor. It's a fine walk for the able-bodied, but I have a father who has a bum knee and he had a tough time scaling them. Also, if you are arriving by car, there are two places to park for free nearby, but they do not necessarily have open spots and you might have a tough time. Plan ahead.
