Antonella and Joseph are just wonderful, generous people and hosts. We could not feel more comfortable and at home than we did. When we arrived they were waiting for us with “aperitivo” and fruit and they explained to us all that we wanted to know about where to go and what to see in Palermo.
The apartment is so comfortable, functional, ULTRA clean and so cutely decorated. I loved our bedroom – the blue room, but all others are beautiful as well! The tile floor is a traditional Sicilian thing, beautiful and antique. All rooms and the dining room have a terrace which gives you a complete Mediterranean Sicilian experience. The details of Antonella`s efforts that make everything perfect are: the kitchen has everything you need for cooking, there are maps and tourist guide books on the shelves, clothing hangers, shampoo and soap, bathrobes for both of us and even a sewing kit!
The apartment has a perfect location close to all touristic/historical points and public transport. An extra plus is that there is a grocery store right next to the apartment building. There you can buy all the essentials, especially tasty mortadella and ricotta salata. There is also a nicer grocery shop close by, just around the corner. Within walking distance there is a gelateria and very close there is a pizzeria :) that was wonderful and was recommended by Antonella and Joseph :) In a couple of minutes by foot is a bus stop from where we were taking a bus to go to Mondello beach.
At the end of our stay, just before we left, Antonella gave us a wonderful homemade chocolate cake that was a real comfort for leaving our short summer vacation.
All in all we had a wonderful experience…wonderful place and wonderful people…. :) Full recommendation and we hope to be back :)
