We stayed in Casa Vigliena only three days but we enjoyed our brief stay very much. Our hostess was very warm, friendly and helpful so that we felt really welcomed. Communication went smoothly and we were well informed about all the details. The apartment is situated in the heart of Palermo which is a great advantage - you can explore the city by foot and there is Ballaro market nearby so be prepared for delicious food just around the corner.
The apartment we stayed in is situated on the last floor of an antique building, an old palace, by the way. It is of course unique and charming, but has some drawbacks as the building has fragile waste water piping. One has to be cautious when using the toilet and there might occur some unpleasant smells. We kind of got used to such difficulties when traveling across Italy and we understand why it is rather inevitable in some antique buildings. To be fair it was not a huge pain, so do not worry too much about it.
Apart from mentioned inconvenience the apartment is really great!
The room is freshly decorated with refined pieces of furniture and it is therefore really atmospheric. Although the balcony is tiny we enjoyed it very much for a cup of coffee (provided).
Getting back to the bathroom - provided toiletries were of high quality and the shower with a rainshower was convenient, nice and not leaky at all (really great feature). The kitchenette has only basic stuff but it was sufficient for us.
