A dream apartment, in an ideal location, just steps from the cathedral during our Holy Week visit. We were able to walk to Mass on Palm Sunday, other services during the week and Triduum, and Easter Sunday. The Good Friday processions marched right past our front door. The spacious kitchen is fully appointed, with stove, microwave, fridge, and basic spices, cooking oils, etc. There were two balconies; one off the bedroom and one off the main living area, with a view of a church under renovation. (No church bells chiming!) Because of the length our stay, the washing machine was very handy. The hosts were very attentive and helpful , both at check in and during our stay via text message or phone call. All in all a great experience. For the price of a mid-level hotel, we had a home in Palermo.

The place was very clean. Don’t even think about trying to drive to it unless you have nerves of steel and are driving a car the size of a piece of luggage.The owner was great. The location is absolutely amazing. Air conditioning worked well. Washing machine worked well and was easy to use… Unlike many European washing machines. We just hung our clothes out to dry inside of the apartment. They dried overnight.Great balcony. All sorts of wonderful restaurants nearby. Walking distance to anything you would want to see.

In the middle of things.

The apartment was right in the middle of the old town area. Very clean, almost new, well equipped and comfortable. Balcony was a nice addition. We walked to most restaurants nearby. We would return.

Perfect location and kind hospitality

I stayed for 5 nights in February. Elena made a lot of suggestions and kind support for me before and during my stay at the apartment. The location of the apartment is real city centre of Palermo and it’s perfect. I went to many places from the apartment and everything is walkable distance. The room on the top floor is comfortable and quiet. I really enjoyed Palermo and the suburbs.

Great stay!

This property was right in the heart of Palermo with an easy walk to so many different destinations. The communications with our hosts were great and very helpful to solve small problems. The hot water in the shower was not the quickest to come out but we made it work. The amenities were all there, the space was bright and the airflow was wonderful. We could not have asked more for the views as well. Certainly hoping to return soon.

Modern building with amazing views of historical buildings

We loved being in the middle of all the action within the historical center of Palermo. This location is a perfect launching place to visit all the main sites in the city. We especially loved the views from the decks - and chose not to use the AC and allow the cross breeze from all the open windows to cool us. The apartment was well stocked and the hosts were helpful and provided lots of help to make our stay better. This place was one of the only places in Sicily we stayed at that had an elevator. Perfect for those who have trouble with stairs.

Just loved it!

We had a most wonderful stay in this apartment. Everything was provided to make it a comfortable and relaxing stay in Palermo which is exactly what we needed. Comfy bed, lovely shower, adequately equipped kitchen but we didn’t do any cooking as eating out is so reasonable in Palermo and the food, so delicious. The 2 balconies made it perfect! Even although the apartment is right in the historic centre of Palermo, the Quattro Canti, it is very quiet, on the 6th floor and at the back of the building. The street outside is limited to vehicles so there is little traffic noise. Our greatest pleasure was just wandering the streets, visiting the markets, eating yummy food and sitting in street cafes watching the world go by. We also went to Cefalù (twice) by train, and Monreale and Mondello, by bus. All very easy and accessible. We will definitely be back! Thank you Elena. Your advice on getting the shared taxi service from and to the airport was excellent. Quick and just as cheap as the bus.

It's all about the location!

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying that the apartment wasn't fantastic because it was, but it's position in the centre of old Palermo was the key to our enjoyment. We stayed there for six days and it is situated only a few steps from the Quattro Canto the beating heart of the old city. We were met by Andrea, Elena's charming nephew who quickly showed us how everything worked and gave us some great local restaurant recommendations. We had a car but Elena arranged a secure reserved space for us in the basement of the building for an extra €10 per day. Do note that the apartment is in the ZTL (Zone of Traffic Limitation) and you have to pay €5 a day if you want to drive in the ZTL during the week - weekends free. You can buy ZTL scratchcards from most tobacco shops and then text the code to a central number. The air conditioned apartment is on the top floor, is accessed via a lift and has views east across rooftops. It has all the expected facilities to suit a couple but can sleep four at a push. Everywhere is walkable and we only used the car a couple of times to visit Monreale and the coast at Mondello. Don't hesitate to stay at L'Penthouse 261 if you're in Palermo - you'll love it.

Obwohl mitten im Zentrum der Sehenswürdigkeiten und Touristenmengen ganz ruhige ,geräumige,hübsche Wohnung mit kleiner Dacheinschnitt-Terasse im 6.Stock und Blick wie auf dem Foto ,mit Morgensonne zum Frühstück. Die Wohnungseinrichtung ist im Detail nicht mehr so top wie auf den Fotos, vor allem die Sauberkeit könnte besser sein!
