If you want a truly Sicilian experience then you have to stay in Marcello's apartment! It is perfectly located in the heart of a bustling, vibrant market where we encountered the tastes and sounds of a raw, edgy and incredibly exciting city.

The apartment suited our needs perfectly. There was nothing we needed that wasn't provided by Marcello and Floriana. We were able to cook, relax and enjoy the space as if it were a family home. The flat was in a loft with stairs and ladders to different rooms. Perhaps it wouldn't have accommodated my aging parents so well - but we loved it! The rooms were spacious and beds very comfortable and clean and each room gave us enough privacy.

Thank you to Marcello for keeping in contact by phone and for Floriana for welcoming us. We arrived very late by plane, but that wasn't a problem for Floriana at all, and we are grateful for that. She explained everything clearly and we were made to feel instantly welcome.

Thank you both for a lovely stay. Palermo is a city where real life happens. We felt very lucky to have the opportunity to experience it.
