We cannot say enough about this home and this family! If you are looking for a place to stay that provides a quieter and more intimate experience in Palermo, this is it! Gabriele and Ettore and family were generous and helpful hosts (we were welcomed with pie and beer)!
The home was comfortable and functional, with any amenities you could need. We were in the middle of a 3-week trip and were able to do a laundry (very needed). The steps down to the sea are quite a treat! We did some swimming and snorkeling most mornings and that was one of the top highlights of our entire 3-weeks in Europe.
We were not comfortable driving in Palermo, but if you are there is space for parking. We found the location ideal as we were right between Mondello Beach and downtown Palermo. We were able to utilize the bus and Taxis (apps like Uber and FreeNow worked great) and never had an issue.
We hope to make it back to visit them again! Best Airbnb ever.
