We absolutely loved our stay.
Check in and check out was swift and painless and we were lucky enough to have found a parking space right outside. (There’s an unofficial parking ‘helper’, Aziq, bung him a euro or two and he’ll hold spaces for you… holding up traffic so you can reverse down the one way street, oooo the toots and hand gestures!!!).
The apartment is exquisite-like a showhome - but still extremely comfortable. Loads of indulgent spaces and plenty of things that aren’t mentioned:
It’s on two floors with the jacuzzi, pool table, gym and wrap-around terrace on the top floor. The bbq and outdoor dining is also up there.
Downstairs is air hockey, a Pac-Man arcade game and a massive sitting room with a huge sofa and screen that drops from the roof. The kitchen is stunning and well set up but I don’t think anything has ever been used!
Bedrooms are vast! Plenty of storage and v comfortable beds. There is body wash and soap in the bathrooms.
There’s a lift from the ground floor. It’s tiny but fabulous!
Restaurant recommendations were a bit sketchy. For posh, go to Gusto €60+ per head, inc wine. For people watching and great food go to Bisso. Amazing Pasta Norma, €15 per head, inc wine!!
Behind(ish) the apartment is a sweet little area with a couple of cafes and a swanky supermarket that has everything. If you wanted to use that bbq, it has a bunch of prepared burgers/kebabs etc and beautiful semi-prepared things. (Turn left out of the apartment and then left by ‘Max Casa’ the supermarket is up that road and then on the right). There’s olive oil, salt and sugar in the apartment.
As previous reviews, some of the equipment takes some effort to get going. That big tv screen didn’t actually appear to be working. We weren’t in Palermo to watch telly though so we weren’t remotely bothered. We spent most of our time on the roof, drinks on the terrace, in and out of the jacuzzi and playing pool! It was just brilliant!
Highly recommended. Would definitely stay here again.
