Excellent Host in an Excellent Location
Virginia, was a spectacular host. I completely botched the day I was flying out and had to arrive at the property at 0900 instead of 2350. Virginia adjusted smoothly. She had the taxi that was originally scheduled for 2350 moved up to meet us at 0900, she met us at the apartment, and sat with us to go over some of the best attractions and places to eat. She was magnificent. The apartment was beautiful in the heart of old town Palermo. Plenty of space, clean, and comfortable. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Wonderful Rental Steps from the Heart of Palermo
We had a great time staying at this property. The check in process was easy with the owner who lives in the same building. The building itself is right next to the Norman Cathedral and a three minute walk from the Quattro Canti. The unit itself was spacious and well kept. There were sufficient amenities on site, including a washer. Would highly recommend.

Gorgeous property with wonderful host
Virginia was a wonderful host and the apartment was gorgeous- so beautifully decorated and so large and clean. Everything was perfect and Virginia made our visit so special with her recommendations and maps to everything. Eat where she recommends- they are the best places. Throughout our stay Virginia was responsive and so kind that she felt like a friend. The location could not be better- right in the middle of everything, yet quiet and cool. We slept like kings. It was hard to leave. Thank you Virginia for such a special stay.

Palermo’s finest
Our family enjoyed an elegant, comfortably furnished and artistically decorated apartment located on a pedestrian boulevard. Bathrooms and kitchen are nicely updated. Marble floors and three balconies add charm and access to fresh air and outside views. There are clothes lines outside the balconies. Outlet adapters were available throughout the apartment. With easy access to historic sites, markets and vibrant nightlife, the apartment is close to everything and we felt safe. Virginia communicated clearly and promptly from our initial booking to our meeting at check-in. She reviewed a city map pointing out restaurants, markets, and public transportation. It was as great place to stay and she is an excellent host.

We stayed for 5 nights. Lovely apartment with a good space for 4 active senior women. The owner was very helpful with background history of Palermo, and the building. We went to a few of the recommended restaurants which were all good. We were very close to the Piazza del Duomo and found a lovely little cafe/restaurant for breakfast right round the corner.

Great Palermo Trip!!
This was a great place to stay. There were 6 of us and it worked well for everyone. The location was great! It was close enough to walk to all of the key sites and food. Virginia and her daughter were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. They made the trip very easy and pleasant. It was a great trip!

Great location in Palermo
We enjoyed our stay. It was a great location next to the Palermo Cathedral and easy walking distance to the Norman Palace and the Massimo Theater. Good cafes and restaurants are very close. Markets/Supermarkets are not overly close. As my wife as mobility issues, the only drawback is that the picture shown is for one rental and then our apartment was up another set of stairs to the right. The apartment was quite spacious, 2 large bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, 2 sitting rooms and 2 bathrooms. Given the opportunity to return, we would check into staying at Virginia's apartment once again.

Perfectly Placed in Palermo
Take the host’s word for it when she tells you to leave your car in the underground lot at the edge of town! This place was right in the middle of the active, ancient, tiny streets of Palermo. It was an easy walk to the Four Corners landmark which was the starting point of several of our tours, both guided and self-led. Ours was the second floor of this three-story home. Cool stone floors and air-conditioning made it the perfect respite between outings in the heat of July. I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Palermo!
