The place is even a bit nicer than the pictures represent. All three upper bedrooms have balconies overlooking the harbor, and there is a grand balcony on the lower level. All have breathtaking views of the sea.
Anna and Nino were wonderful hosts. Our emails were answered within minutes. We had problems with electricity, and Anna found someone to fix it within 30 min on Sunday evening! They stocked a few items in the kitchen for us when we arrived. Everything we needed was there.
Getting in and out and around Palermo with a large vehicle is difficult, but it is not difficult to drive from this location to the airport or other towns.
The beach immediately across the street is rocky, but that didn’t stop us from swimming there almost daily and getting a gelato on the way back. At the palazzo there were beach mats, chairs and an umbrella available for our use. Our five-year old loved the playground across the street.
The neighborhood is very safe despite being a bit dirty. Many nearby places to buy fresh ingredients for cooking, and many local restaurants. Pizza place across the street is good.
