The apartment is stunning — both inside with classy interior design and outside with its large terrace and far-reaching mountain views — one of the best I have stayed in within Europe. Easy transport links, check-in, a full size kitchen, a good quality bathroom and air-conditioning in the bedroom.
It is a 10 minute walk to the beginning of the UNESCO heritage zone (palace and cathedral) leading to a straight walk down to the coast or an easy turn towards the international shopping district. A suggested day trip is to take the bus to the beach at Mondello which is a good price. Like the trains, buy your tickets before you use the public transport.
If you’re looking for modern European quality in old-world historic Sicilian surroundings, then I highly recommend this apartment!
