Father of Riccardo welcomed us in the street at the appartement, very nice and friendly man. Because other people allready checked out, the cleaners were busy. He told us to leave our baggage in the appartement and gave us the keys and told to come back in 2 hours. He putted 6x2 Liters of cold water in the fridge and gave us some to catch some breath before we left. Perfect timing to eat and drink something and figure some things out in the city, after all we would stay for 2 weeks! The appartement got everything you need and is 50 meters away from the bus stop who will bring you to Mondello, central station and other places. The other side is 50 meters from grocery, little markets and restaurants. Couple blocks away from the city and shopping place. We went a lot to the beach in Mondello, 30 min with bus, we discovered a lot of beautiful places in Palermo. We went to Agrigento with train (2hours) with beautiful landscapes on our road. We went to Corleone with bus in 1.15 hour. If we had a car we would see so much more of Sicily. We ate some nice pizza, arancine, cannoli, brioscia with ice cream and a lot more delicious Italian and local Palermo street food. We had an amazing time in Palermo and Sicily as a whole. Only the mosquitos were a little bit annoying but that would not ruin our vacation. Riccardo, thank your father for his help. Tell him to tell the future guests that hot water in the shower is the Blue side not the Red one. Thanks a lot again! We enjoyed Palermo, Sicily, Italia!!
