The apartment is like an independent little house on this beautiful square, literally less than five minutes walk from most of Palermo's major attractions, yet quiet and untouristy. It is in the heart of Capo, with its authentic markets, shops and cafes all around, but with numerous exciting new places opened up nearby giving an interesting new twist to traditional Sicilian cuisine. The apartment is spotlessly clean, the bed is comfortable and there is all you need to do some basic cooking of your own and plentiful hot water. The outside space and herb tubs are a bonus, but best of all is the guaranteed, free parking space. Davide and his family are super hosts: Giovanna's warm welcome included a delicious tortilla and fish balls which made the perfect breakfast and dinner on our first day. When we had a flat tyre Davide helped get it all sorted so quickly and cheaply that our holiday was barely interrupted. If you plan to explore Palermo on foot, this is the perfect base: the cathedral is five minutes away, as is the Teatro Massimo; the Capo market is just around the corner; there are excellent places to eat within the square and many more beyond. We will definitely try to return!
