A beautiful period property on the edge of a good district some 15 minutes walk from the old historic centre. If you have very few hours to spend in Palermo then maybe choose somewhere closer . We loved the mid century /vintage Italian furniture mixed in with modern touches decorated with sensitivity to the property and super stylishly. Loved the colours too! In fact it was probably the main reason for my booking as I am an interior designer so particularly picky on this front and need to feel comfortable in my surroundings and appreciated the level of detail and care taken here.
The flat was also very spacious and great value for what you can get in Palermo for your money, and being further out it is clear you get more space to yourself. It was very clean and thought to provide tea, coffee etc in the kitchen and soap and clean towels in the bathroom. The shower was however the only negative of the flat being very small and rather tight but if you are slim you'll be fine!
On the negative , yes it was noisy with fireworks going off at midnight, toddlers tantrums, street noise so bring some ear plugs as we did , but you are getting life as a Sicilian and not as a tourist so it is more authentic.
Communication was great and we received some good recommendations for local restaurants on arrival and helpful cab bookings as our Italian is practically non existent. The hosts were charming and helpful.
Overall I would recommend this flat for a long stay. Thank you.
