We absolutely loved our stay at Paolo’s gorgeous apartment. Palermo is a magical city and having this gorgeous place yo come back to each evening was wonderful.
As Paolo states in his listing, there are some very old stairs that need to be negotiated to get to the apartment door, and once inside the stairs are also quite deep, but this is not a problem at all for people without mobility issues. The building itself is charmingly crumbly on the outside - like much of Palermo! - and the inside is elegant and sophisticated. The Kalsa neighbourhood is vibrant and life is conducted in the open, so it can be a little noisy at night, but this why you come to Palermo, and we found that the people made us feel so welcome.
Within about 50m from Paolo’s front door are several fantastic places to eat, including the best pizza outside Naples and Carmelo’s fresh fish restaurant.
We are already planning our next stay at Paolo’s place and couldn’t recommend it more highly.
