Marìka’s flat (as the matron of the house herself) is wonderfully unique. Not only is the flat decorated with a wonderful attention to detail and stunning artifacts, the house and Marìka made us feel at home immediately. Her warmth and attentiveness cannot be stressed enough. Marìka has been welcoming and gave us great recommendations of where to eat ans drink out, depending on what we felt like that day. Her recommendations allowed us to explore Palermo in a way, which we probably wouldn’t have had access too, without her. Unfortunately we weren’t able to attend one of her tours through Palermo, but I’m sure they are an absolute must for anyone visiting this complex city. The rooms we were staying in were clean and comfortable and the area just around Ballarò market was absolutely fantastic to navigate the city. If I can, I will always try to stay with Marìka in her stunning home in Palermo.
