The flat is absolutely gorgeous and very well-placed to explore Palermo. Riccardo's dad let us in and showed us around everything; it has all that you might need. it was especially lovely that the kitchen was stocked with all the basics when we arrived so we could cook an evening meal straight away without having to worry about shopping first of all. We loved Palermo (and Monreale and Cefalu) and we would love to come to Sicily again. The Norman palaces, churches and castles are amazing and there is history everywhere you look; we were also able to go to the opera. A brilliant holiday! Thanks to Riccardo and his dad - the flat is excellent value for money.
