My eight night stay at Roberto's could not have been better! The room and private bath are on the 6th floor, thankfully with an elevator, with a marvelous view over the roof tops from the balcony. The place is spotlessly clean, the bed big and very comfortable, the shower is also large. The location cannot be beat. It is a few steps from Via Maqueda, the main pedestrians-only street in the heart of historic Palermo, a brief walk to the Teatro Massimo, the city's Opera House, and the Fontana Pretoria, a monumental fountain in the historic center of Palermo. On Via Maqueda you will find coffee shops, restaurants, gelaterias and shops of all kinds.
Next to Roberto's place there are a barbershop on one side, a grocery store on the other, a supermarket half a block away. The Rinascente Department Store and bus stops on Via Roma are a 7 to 8 minute walk.
Roberto is a very friendly and gracious host who goes out of his way to make sure that his guests are having a great time.
I recommend his place to you without any reservations.
