Very helpful owner. Nothing too much trouble. Lovely apartment. The highlight is the large terrace to take in the view.

Once through the wooden double doors and after ascending in the basic lift, the door opens into a very welcoming apartment. We were greeted by the lovely housekeeper, Signora Giovanna, who proceeded to show us through.

The apartment is immaculately presented and spotlessly clean. Two of the 3bedrooms have queen size beds fitted with quality bed linen. The 3rd bedroom has 2 single beds. There are 2 very new bathrooms equipped with towels, toiletries and a hair drier . The laundry is a good size. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped for a rental property. The lounge dining area is not large, but certainly spacious enough for the 3 of us. The huge bonus is the long outdoor balcony which has an outdoor setting, deck chairs etc. the view from the balcony is beautiful - one can se the top of the cathedral and the theatre - breathtaking at night.

The location is perfect, right in the heart of the historic centre, close to main shopping streets and some great restaurants. We took a carriage ride for an hour and a half where we saw the main points of interest. We paid 60 Euros for the 3 of us. We enjoyed wandering through Barollo market, which is mainly food.

The owner's son, Antonio, was most helpful via e'mail from Milan.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this apartment and we would certainly book it again were we to return to Palermo.

The little Sicilian biscuits and the loaf of bread on arrival were a lovely touch!

This is a modern, comfortable, well designed and decorated apartment. It is immaculate and equipped with everything you need for your stay from hair drier to coffee maker. The balcony/terrace overlooks the roof tops of the city and is a fantastic place to relax, eat or sit in the sun. On arrival, we were met by Antonio's friendly housekeeper and her husband who helpfully showed us around the apartment before leaving us to settle in. The apartment is situated in the heart of the historic city but near the main crossroads. This means that you can easily walk to any of the markets, historical buildings or modern shops and department stores. Antonio was very helpful and recommended fantastic places to eat and drink. I would highly recommend this apartment. It is a quiet and cool haven in the middle of a busy, hot and very lovely city.

Don't let the outside of this apartment put you off! When I first got there I thought "oh no!" . Once inside, it's like home! The owner has thought of everything! Fresh cherries (my favourite!) and plums to greet you, along with sweet pastries and ice cold water! The bedrooms are a dream, clean and simplistic! The kitchen is fully equipped, apart from the food, all condiments provided. Location is close to everything, whether the station, supermarkets, bars, restaurants or shops all within walking distance!!! A fabulous apartment and really must stay! Great value for money!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this well maintained and comfortable apartment. Plenty of space for five adults, an easy walk to everything we wanted and a lovely view to the Teatro Massimo from the terrace. Don't be put off by the street - the apartment is modern and well appointed.

We loved this apartment - the location is excellent, making it easy to reach all the major tourist sites very quickly. The accommodation is very well presented and with everything you need provided. The highlight is the fantastic terrace, which catches the afternoon and early evening sun and allows for sunbathing after the rigours of the tourist trail! Palermo itself is a riot of noise, horns, sirens, cars, but the apartment manages to be relatively quiet as it is so high - and at least the little lift helps get you there. Palermo was a fantastic city to visit, and this apartment the ideal base to stay in. Thanks.
