We had an excellent week’s stay at Gaia’s Ulivo apartment. Well situated very close to the historic centre, and though it’s on a busy road, noise wasn’t an issue at all. It’s beautifully decorated and furnished, felt airy and spacious while fitting a lot in. It was august so the air conditioning was a lifesaver - lovely to come back from a hot walk in the city to a cool haven and relax on the sofa.
The kitchenette is well stocked with coffee/sugar/salt/oil and equipment to be able to cook (oven, kettle, toaster, gas hob, moka coffee pot, pans), which we did on several days.
The bathroom was clean and modern, shower was great.
The bed was large and comfortable, and there was plenty of space for hanging clothes.
I think Ulivo would suit a couple best - the stairs may be a bit tricky for little ones as they’re quite steep.
The shared terrace is also beautiful and has a shaded pergola with tables for eating outside.
We didn’t use the washing machine but did use the drying racks for our swimming stuff after a beach trip, which was helpful.
Gaia was super responsive and checked in on us via message to make sure we were happy with everything, and set us up with an airport transfer.
Overall, 100% recommend Gaia and the Ulivo apartment for a trip to Palermo!
