This place is something else.
The Palazzo itself is a stunning building in Palermo's historic center. It's walking distance from everything you'd want to visit - the cathedral, the market, the marina, and much more - and the immediate surroundings are beautiful.
The apartment is gorgeous. High ceilings, lovely traditional decor, and nice touches like antique doors and a small tiled step in front of the window. It feels authentic and very old, but here's what made it truly unique: it's spotless. Older buildings can sometimes feel dusty or not quite clean enough to be comfortable, but this property is pristine, from the bathroom to the bed to the kitchen and the entryway. This was almost shocking as I live in an older building myself and know how hard it is to make these properties feel clean by modern standards.
Finally, Andrea is simply a spectacular host. I won't tell the full story here but the backstory of this property and Andrea's connection made our visit here feel like a privilege. In addition to this unique backstory (be sure to take the tour btw, 100% worthwhile) Andrea was available 24/7 and was clearly invested in making sure we had a nice time in Palermo. Trust me when I say that we did. If you have the chance to book this property, don't think twice. It's a dream come true.
