A wonderful 6 weeks in Palermo
Fabrizio and Chiara's property was beautiful and even more impressive than depicted on the website. The check-in process was easy, as both Chiara and Fabrizio made time to meet me and made sure that I was comfortable in the home and ready to explore the city. The property had beautiful views from the balconies of the city, the water, and the mountains, as well as many of the famous Palermo buildings and sites. Fabrizio and Chiara were both very accessible throughout the stay and checked in regularly. They brought us a wonderful bottle of wine that we enjoyed on our last day in the city. The apartment itself is well-equipped and well-located, standing a few minutes walk from the Porto Nuovo and royal palace, with a short, direct, and well-populated walk into the city center through the gate. Overall, we were very happy with this stay and sad to leave.

a fine week in Palermo
apartment: piazza indipendenza n.10, Palermo, Italy. This is a wonderful apartment, which we enjoyed very much. Fabrizio was a gracious and helpful host, taking the time to explain the features of the property and the surrounding neighborhood, including tipping us off about the local services and the local buses which are stopping close to the apartment. As Fabrizio told us, we found everything we needed a short distance along via Pisano. Included were food, wine, pizza, a grocery market, pharmaceuticals (farmacia across the street), and other foods (including pastries) in the small shops. Along the stores of the side road (via Pisano), the shopowners I met in these stores were all so nice. you are right to tell your visitors that all they really need is there and just a short distance within 500 meters, even though at a first glance it might not look like that to those of us from far away. He recommended FREE historic center bus which travels around and through all the sites you’d want to visit in the old city of Palermo. We went around several times to get a feel for Palermo, and even use it to get to the Central Train & Bus station for day trips to Corleone, Cefalo and the West Coast. it really was wiser to use the buses and trains, and not rent a car. Of course, every day from the penthouse balcony we could watch the craziness below us - cars, buses, horse-drawn carriages, cycles, bicycles trying to rush along the very busy streets. Watching this traffic made New York City look like "child's play". Watching this the first day cured me of any thought of renting a car. And the public buses made it easy to get around, as you told us. My wife and I gave all categories a top (5-star) rating. regards, John and Marie of Palm Coast, Florida USA

We have nothing but praise and gratitude towards Fabrizio who was the most splendid host and for which nothing was too much trouble. The apartment was very comfortable and in easy reach of so many sites Palermo has to offer. Our stay there was relaxing and so very enjoyable and we both hope to return very soon. Thank you again Fabrizio, we loved it all! Ciao!

Excellent Apartment located within easy walking distance of Palermo's historic centre. The apartment is clean, comfortable and well-appointed. The host, Fabrizio, could not have been more helpful. A lovely stay and the balcony is brilliant.

An oasis of la dolce vita in frenetic Palermo
The penthouse is very spacious and the huge private terrace offers a view in a million. The additional balcony to the back, off the living room also offers magnificent views. Watching the world rush by from the privacy of the huge terrace is food for the soul. And by the way, look down the west side of the piazza, to the green awning. See it? That's where you need to grab your Palermitan street food from. Testagrossa Ristorante. Bummer, eh? such a long walk for some knockout panelle! Oh, and whatever you do, make sure you grab some arancini from Sfrigolo, which lies just outside the Porta Nuova gate, about 50 metres from the north corner of the piazza. You will be told that every place in Sicily does 'the best arancini', but rest assured, Sfrigolo is a genuine contender. Fabrizio is a man of great honesty and integrity. He obviously works extremely hard in his day-time job in hospitality. And yet he invests every last bit of his energy in ensuring you are well informed and happy. Once you tune into the fact that Fabrizio is not a typical host - in that he is not motivated by lucre first and everything else second - you start to appreciate what a heartwarming privilege it is that he lets you into his confidence. As a parting gift, he gave us some honey from the village in which he was born and raised. I am not much of a honey lover (although I dearly love bees), but I tasted the crystal clear honey at home today, and Fabrizio, I have to say, you have converted me sir! I never knew honey could deliver a pleasant aftertaste minutes after you have sipped it. And as for the moka espresso maker, now you’ve gone and got me hooked, Fabrizio! We could say more, but it's all been said in other reviews. We just had to get it out there, what a good human being Fabrizio is.

Fully deserving of 5 Stars
We spent a very happy 2 weeks in Palermo in October of 2020 and we can highly recommend the apartment . Access to the town is very easy and the local shops have everything you want to buy to cook local produce, including great fresh fish. Parking was not a problem provided you had just a little patience and we always found a place within 5 minutes walk. Fabrizio is a very good host and made a real effort to introduce Palermo to visitors as well as giving practical advice to us as visitors. He deserves the praise you have read in other reviews below.

Eine wunderschöne Attikawohnung im Herzen Palermos
Das Penthouse ist rundum mehr als man erwartet. Die Wohnung ist mit viel Gespür für dezente Farben und mit Liebe eingerichtet. Alles was wir brauchten war vorhanden. Die Gastfreundschaft von Fabrizio und Chiara war herzlich und hilfsbereit. Wir empfehlen das Penthouse allen, die Mitten in Palermo sein möchten und die Altstadt zu Fuss erleben wollen.
