7.9Verified guest“The location was perfect, right in the middle of Palermo. We could walk to the cathedral and Quattro Canti easily. The suite was roomy for our group, and the kitchen was excellent. We had great pre-dinner drinks before heading out for the night. Everything was spotless and full of character. We'd definitely return.”

7.9Verified guest“I come back again and again because of the helpful staff and the amenities—Wi-Fi, off-site parking, an electric kettle, and air conditioning. Express check-in/out, cots, luggage storage, and an airport shuttle are all there too. It's ideal for my trips.”
7.9Verified guest“Great central location with street parking available. The basement apartment is private, with its own kitchen and bathroom. The host was friendly and gave useful tips. Plenty of space, clean linens, and a comfy bed. Convenient area, just off the main streets.”
7.9Verified guest“Nice spot near a well-known fresh food market. The host was responsive and shared good local advice. They let us leave our bags before check-in. It's a 15-minute walk from the central station. The apartment was roomy, the kitchen well stocked, and the place was clean and cosy, with a small balcony. Charming feel. A nice touch: biscuits and marmalade left for breakfast.”
7.9Verified guest“Spacious apartment with a great kitchen. Convenient location close to attractions and the market. Clean, cosy, and good communication. Charming and well equipped, even a library. Plus a lovely breakfast was provided.”
