Casa Cartari was brilliant! When my partner and I arrived we were so happy to open up all the shutters of all three doors in the large lounge space and let the warm breeze in. At the top of the apartment building we felt very much isolated from the busy streets below in central old town Palermo. It was a pleasure to look out into the narrow alleys and feel a true part of Sicilian life.
The flat was a short walk from many of the amazing sights in Palermo and to plenty of bars, restaurants, corner shops etc. Also there is a Carrefour and Lidl about 5-10 mins walk away for those Brits who might miss supermarket shopping. The streets below were very much alive on the weekends and some week nights, but we didn't mind this noise which others might.
The flat had everything we needed and we made ourselves very much at home. The mezzanine bed space felt nice to relax in and the flat was lit in a very warm and welcoming way in the evening.
Lastly, we could not recommend Francesca as a host more! She was very welcoming and warm and genuinely happy to help us. When we had any queries we would be able to get in touch and hear back from her almost immediately. If you are looking for a stress-free base for your central Palermo holiday then look no further!
