The location was perfect with a quick walk to almost everything including the pedestrian area, the market and many sights. Massimo was attentive giving us recommendations and answering all questions quickly and with kindness and generosity.

Delightful penthouse apartment

Massimo is a charming and helpful host, the apartment is just lovely, and very well equipped. The little terrace high above the pedestrian street is great for hanging out. The only possible caveat is the stairs to the fourth floor - but so worth the climb! We loved it and would definitely stay there again if we were going to Palermo!

Cosy apartment, fantastic host!!

We enjoyed staying at this apartment very much. Massimiliano’s apartment was homely, comfortable and easy to be in. Air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen, cosy lounge/dining area and balcony overlooking Via Maqueda meant we were near the heart of the historic centre of Palermo, with access to many important cultural sites.Massimiliano was very warm & kind, providing us with a fantastic list of excellent restaurants and key attractions to visit. Also if you are into art do not miss the remarkable Pinakotheka across the street!I would thoroughly recommend this lovely ‘stay’ to anyone considering a holiday in Palermo.

Great Appartment

The apartment is in the middle of the old city and is ideal for exploring the local markets, restaurants and bars. It is 10 minutes from the train station, where buses to the local attractions and airport also run from. The apartment is very modern, spacious and well equipped and Masimo is extremely helpful. There are quite a lot of stairs but if you are reasonably fit it should be fine.

Amazing property

This condo is a special place in Palermo. Everything was just prefect, we were just 2 but more than enough space for 4 people. Just like the people before wrote a perfect patio to sit a sip some extremely good wine after a day of walking around. The location is easy walking to all the tourist spots. Massimilano was a great host and couldn’t do enough for us his suggestions for restaurants were tremendous. I would highly recommended this property 5 stars.

A JEWEL IN PALERMO

My husband and I (with our 16 year old son), stayed in this wonderful apartment to celebrate my 50th birthday. Massimo was warm, charming and welcoming making us feel at home the minute we walked in the door. Communication was always excellent and this made our trip easy to organise. Massimo always replied to emails very promptly and was able to provide excellent advice when we were there. The apartment was light and airy, well equipped and very spacious, with new furniture and the beds were very comfortable. The terrace was lovely for eating outside and we had great temperatures for late October. The apartment is ideally placed for visiting Palermo with the virbant Ballarò market just round the corner. The station is 5 minutes walk (easy to catch a train to Cefalù and other nearby towns) and the Teatro Massimo is about 10 mins walk (lots of great restaurants nearby ). The neighbourhood is very safe with lots of interesting cheap jewellery shops, which I enjoyed browsing! Great value for money – probably the best in Palermo. We would highly recommend the apartment and plan to return next autumn/early winter to take advantage of mild temperatures.

Pour un long week end sans voiture

L’appartement est bien placé dans un quartier assez populaire et à quelques minutes à pieds de toutes les jolies choses à voir à Palerme. Il est calme, fonctionnel, grand et avec tout le nécessaire pour passer un bon séjour. Nous avons été accueillis par le frère de Massimo qui nous a donné une carte et expliqué les choses à voir. Petit bémol pour le 4ème étage sans ascenseur et la surcharge pour avoir la clim indispensable en plein mois d’août. Nous avons été prévenus une semaine avant notre arrivée car pas explicite sur l’annonce donc pas trop le choix. Palerme se visite à pieds donc je conseille de ne pas être véhiculé car le logement, bien qu’il y ait un petit parking quasi gratuit à côté (un monsieur un peu insistant nous réclamait quand même tous les jours une pièce) , il faut prendre en compte qu’il se trouve sur une zone à trafic limité (appelé ZTL) et qu’il faut acheter chaque jour un pass pour pouvoir y circuler, ce qui a été une source de stress à gérer car nous n’avions pas l’info avant d’arriver. Nous espérons donc ne pas avoir été flashés le premier jour donc petit conseil : bien se renseigner avant.

Thank you Nadia for reviewing your experience in my apartment. I'm glad you found the apartment: quiet, functional, large and with everything you need for a good stay, and to have appreciated its location, just a few steps away from all the beautiful things to see in Palermo. Instead, I am sorry to point out, that besides being informed about the possible extra air conditioning before check-in, you could have read it in the Announcement Notes, where it is clearly specified and furthermore you have received all information from me detailed on where to park and the rules of the ZTL, perhaps finding you already on vacation, you were not very reactive to read my e-mails. However I like to remember the air of satisfaction you had at the end of your stay, for having spent a good holiday in my apartment. You are always welcome, a warm greeting. Massimo

Lovely apartment, noisy neighbourhood

The apartment is beautiful and spacious, as described. It is very close to the train station on the via Maqueda. Its location means that there is quite a bit of street noise. I specifically asked Massimo about this, and was assured that it wouldn't be a problem, as the bedrooms are at the back of the apartment. Both the person with whom I shared the apartment and I, however found that there was just as much street noise in the bedrooms as in the living room at the front of the apartment. We both had to sleep with the windows closed and with ear plugs. In addition, some kind of electrical unit sits on the side of the building right beside the living room wall; we could hear the hum of that machine all day and night. Despite these drawbacks, we did like the apartment which is spacious and centrally located. I just wish I had been told that in fact noise is an issue when I specifically inquired about it.

Thank you Roberto for writing your review. I am pleased with your appreciation of the apartment, in having found it beautiful, spacious and in a central location, close to the places of greatest interest. I am sorry if you have heard too much noise, I would not have been, perhaps, due to your excessive sensitivity to noise, considering that the quiet and tranquility of the apartment is often appreciated, as described by the many guests who stayed before you . I would have expected a thank you, for all the help I gave you, in finding your lost luggage on the airport, keeping me constantly busy for three days. Perhaps this is why you were abundantly tired. Dear Roberto, you are always welcome to Palermo, a warm greeting. Massimo

Great apartment in great location

This apartment is perfectly located in the middle of the old city, within a few minutes of all the major historical attractions. Massimo was an excellent host, it is well worth getting him to meet you as the main door to the building is not easy to find first time. The 99 steps to the flat door can be tiring, but they help to work off the great food that is all around. The whole apartment was spotlessly clean and well equipped. My only slight negative comment is that the air conditioning is available at an extra cost, which is not mentioned in the listing. We didn't need it but some people would want to know this before.

Great location, highly recommend!

Stayed 6 nights with my husband and 3 teens (age 10, 14 and 15) in June 2018. Massimo’s greeting was exceptional, it felt like staying at a family’s friend. The flat was super clean and equipped with everything we needed. You have to be confortable with stairs however, sometimes after a day walking around the city it seemed like the four-five flights of stairs were higher and higher! We enjoyed the proximity to the Market, Via Makeda and main attractions. We even rented a car for a few days and enjoyed closeby local beaches that were a lot less crowded than Modello or Cefalu. Loved Palermo and Sicilia, and definitly recommend renting this place.

Grazie Massimo

Massimo's apartment was everything I hoped it would be. Centrally located in the historic area of Palermo and close to a large market just around the corner. The apartment had enough room for the four of us and the balcony was perfect for afternoon/evening wine and cheese. Also the train station was just a few minutes walk and trains are so easy. We went to Cefalu in only 50 minutes. Massimo was most helpful and had lots of information at his apartment more than any other of the five places we rented. There were lots of restaurants close by. I would highly recommend a stay here. Small caveat there are four flights of stairs up to the apartment so pack lightly although Massimo carried our bags for us...grazie mille Massimo you were a gracious host. We would definitely stay here again. Ray/Heather Neill
