This is one of the nicest places I have rented in more than 10 years of renting apartments and villas in Europe. The location is great; the Kalsa neighborhood is very vibrant, and there are great restaurants within minutes of the apartment. The view to the sea was an added plus. The layout is very spacious, comfortable and clean, and Alessandro was a most gracious host. He arranged for transportation we needed as well as getting us a reservation at a wonderful nearby restaurant (we went there twice, it was so good). It is everything the web site says it is and more! I hope to return to Palermo in the future, and this is the only place I can imagine staying.
