With only 48 hours in Palermo, location was always going to be key. Lucia's apartment was perfect for our needs and our tastes. In fact, it was so perfect, we didn't want to go outside - we could have just stayed indoors relaxing on the patio for a week! Of course, we did go exploring and within just a few short steps you are in the heart of the action. The apartment is also a 10-15 minute walk from the Central Station (ideal for getting the coach to and from the airport!) and is inside a beautiful 14th century palace which offers incredible views of Palermo's historic skyline from one of two private patio areas. The apartment is really stunning, super modern but retains many interesting, historic features. It is so tastefully decorated, and has all the conveniences of home, including fresh towels, comfortable bed, and good wifi. It's like something out of a magazine. I've already permanently moved in in my head. Lucia was a wonderful host - warm, accommodating, and helpful. She actually lives next door but gave us plenty of space (and lots of recommendations for where to eat!) On my next visit to Sicily, I will stay here again 100% only for longer. I will absolutely be recommending this place to my friends.
