This is a very unusual venue four storeys up in a former grand palazzo in the heart of the old city of Palermo. The accommodation is clean and comfortable, though there is street noise if windows are left open. However, there is air conditioning, so that is not necessary. Dario is a kind, helpful and genial host, though his English is limited. Our plane was badly delayed and we arrived at 1 am. He not only came down cheerfully to let us in but also carried our very heavy case up the stairs for us. Dario's partner speaks good English. We greatly enjoyed our short stay with them.
