We had a wonderful time at Casa Balmossiere and in Palermo. The owner was incredibly kind and came to rescue us with his scooter once we got a bit lost in the centre of Palermo. The house is located in the Capo district, just above a lively market. A perfect place where to feel the life of the city from the start and plan your excursions.
The house is warm and charming. It is beautifully furnished and very functional. The bedroom in the front of the house overlooks the market and is quite noisy, in a charming way, but we slept in the back bedroom which was perfectly quiet (and we slept with a young baby!). It may need some maintenance here and there, but in the end it is in line with the pleasant decadent feeling that you can breathe all around Palermo. Strongly recommended!
