We enjoyed Palermo enormously. The apartment is well placed for visiting the 'sites, tastes and sounds' of the city. The apartment block provides for an intimate feel for local life - from the waft of restaurant cooking to the choruses of barking dogs. Unfortunately the apartment was poorly set up. There were many basic things missing, not functional or in need of repair, including the wifi, table, and kitchen and bathroom items. The bed and air conditioner were fine, and the apartment was generally clean but the mocha coffee pot was filthy. Tiziana was communicative but many of the problems are fundamental and require considered attention in order to be adequately prepared for guests. When we return to Palermo we will certainly seek accommodation elsewhere. There are endless wonderful things to comment on in the city. If you want to 'make room' for the next glorious meal and enjoy hiking, consider walking up onto Mount Pellegrini. In addition to visiting Santuario e Grotta di Santa Rosalia (where there is even a cafe), you can chart a course using a series of marked tracks, visit splendid views of Palermo and out over the azure ocean, and even reach the highest parts of Monte Pellegrino at 600m (good views amidst the telecommunication towers). We spent about 8h (20km), took one path up and another down, and after returning to wash, enjoyed apperitivi and pizza that never tasted better. Buon viaggio!
