the appartment was huge and had everything you could hope for. it's on the edge of the old town and easy to walk everywhere. the hosts were helpful and gave me pointers of what to see and do. their recommended restaurant was definitely worth a visit. I'd come back again

Amazing apartment with room for a large family! Kitchen was well stocked, cafe machine & breakfast provided. We found it too cold for a visit in December. Decor and comfort of beds was very nice, also.

Very spacious and Clean place, near historical center. Nice breakfast. We felt at home.

Turi received us with his excellent French and was very informed and advised. We were able to see in one day to a maximum of thing but it is clear that it will take us to return because Palermo has much more to see.

Good location, right in the heart of Palermo. You can see how the locals live. The apartment was very spacious and decorated with good taste. Really big kitchen suitable for those who have a family. Turi was very helpful and thoughtful and very kind to show us on the map all the must see in Palermo. Recommended for an authentic Palermo experience :)

Great location to see Palermo city centre with most main attractions a short walk away. Parking is available on street, however I've learnt driving in Palermo is about tricky and my hire car picked up a dent whilst parked outside. But that is Palermo for you it seems. Hosts very friendly and a hip apartment with lots of modern art. Clean place inside and host spoke good English and was available to ask questions any time. Thanks Turiliberto and Fabio.

This apartment hosts a lot of people comfortably, location is a little off tourist areas although very close to old town.

housing is great, we were very well received and advised on what he should not miss in Palermo. We had a great time, thank you for everything!

very cute and functional apartment. Central area.

Nice house, and Giuseppe was very kind and helpful. I recommend this Airbnb!

L ' "apartment" is a basement with no windows and no phone signal, but this obviously was not written in the description. Zero windows, zero sunlight. It is absolutely not true that there is a bedroom: There is a recess in the wall (practically in the kitchen !!!) where they placed a bed, this is not a room. There is the possibility to close a curtain to separate the bed above the rest (I repeat: there are the dining table and the kitchen in front) but doing so obviously this creates a kind of niche where you can not move or breathe. Since we are 4 travelers (one pair) what caused the total lack of privacy. Obviously the photos were taken of purpose to make it impossible to understand where and how it is positioned the bed. The kitchen is designed for 4 people, there are pots to boil water but then there is only one pan of small size, which is useless for 4. The coffee maker is virtually a small cup, there were no potholders and to be honest the cutlery was also quite dirty (though now be found clean is because we washed everything we have used). The cleanliness left to be desired, I walked 2 minutes barefoot and I have picked up just dirt. In the "bathroom" it was also the bucket of the mop, with almost black water. The shower gets flooded even if you are careful in the water and you can not throw paper. I repeat, zero windows and zero sunlight, zero possibility of laying towels (we are talking about a city that faces the sea!) Even at home, since there is a drying rack. The only way to let in sunlight is open the door of the house, which of course gives on the road. If it were possible to add the photos here in the review I would, to see the things of which I speak. The wifi is nothing more than a web pocket, you signal only if you close the device and it is very slow in the apartment and since there is no signal even to make a phone call, via at least one good cable connection was a must. It 'true that the communication was fast and there was someone waiting for us at our arrival at 21.30 pm, but if the description of it were true we would never, ever reserved in this accommodation. Among other things, the person who showed us the house was so much of a hurry that even we realized that there were no windows. By far the worst apartment I stayed, and I am a person who travels a lot. Sconsigliatissimo

Location is absolutely perfect! You can walk to all the tourist destinations! The Mercato Ballaro is 2 mins away. It's an authentic Sicilian market with very cheap, fresh food. Wifi is not very good, but we expected that and were able to go online to plan each day and find map directions.

The apartment is very central, 5 minutes walk from the station and all the main streets, Francesco is a guy very helpful and approachable.

The location is strategic but not suitable for claustrophobic or allergic persons as the apartment is located in the basement and features 3 windows overlooking the sottograta. cleaning below average. Francesco was very helpful and friendly. quality / price ratio honest.

Francesco has been a very pleasant host, speaking English very well. Flat line with the announcement, near downtown and train station. Can improve cleanliness. Inability to operate the WiFi.

Francesco is a great host he waited for us in front of the apartment when we arrived. He then explained everything which is easy and helpful to us. The apartment is off and hidden from the main street (via Roma) and is in a quiet area(quite dark at night); however it is very close to public transport - 5 min from the central station. We had huge luggages and it was not a problem carry them to the apartment. The apartment is very spacious and it provides all basic needs, which is great. Thank you so much for hosting us :)

Nice, spacious and clean place. Safe car parking a few steps away. Short walking distance to city center. Only the wifi connection could be better ...

Francesco is available and on time. The house a bit 'moist but very well located.

My stay for one week in Palermo with viola and Tony was so good. The room location is ideal to visit the area and especially because you are in the historic part of the city but also near places to party, restaurants, shops... the room was very comfortable and well described on the ad. I asked for a room without kitchen but if you need there are some others with. In Tony and Viola place, you feel like home. The terrasse is really an advantage in this place. Tony and Viola are both wonderfull and will do their best to make you confortable. They have really good advices to know all about Palermo. I spent very good moments with them . if you want to live in a Sicilian way with joy and conviviality , book with Viola & Tony !

Purple is very kind and helpful. central house in a beautiful location in Palermo. In practice it was like having a small apartment available. Highly recommended!

A friend of Viola welcomed us and showed the room. He was kind and had some advices about where to go. The roof terrace is lovely and the room had everything one needs including a separate bathroom and the advice to explore the city :-) Great value as well! Thanks a lot!

Viola was very attentive to detail. My husband needed a printer for his boarding pass. Viola offered hers. He found another printer & forgot to tell Viola that he didn't need hers. But she didn't forget. We were impressed. Thanks Viola for a nice stay.

You cannot be more Central than staying at Viola's. We had a Nice big room with our own bathroom as described and shown on Viola's profile. The terrass is amazing and the two Cats are so lovely. Also the contact with toni and viola was very Nice. The only thing you have to be aware of is that it might get a bit noisy..which was because of construction works nearby.. All in all it was a good experience! Thank you so much

We had some trouble with our car reservation, it got suddenly cancelled, and we had to change our time of arrival. Viola was quite understanding about it, and this helped us considerably. The location of the appartment is outstanding, as you are literally, in the middle of all the buzz of Palermo, quatro canti is quite near. The appartment is quite clean and comfortable, and it has a lovely terrace with two lovely cats and nice views. I would definetely recommend staying with Viola, it is a fantastic place to explore a fantastic city like Palermo.

We were only one night in Palermo, but the experience was very positive. The room was clean and with private access to a wonderful communal terrace. The location is very central, perfect for exploring the city on foot! Viola was extremely available both in welcoming that when we left the apartment. Thank you!

We arrived late to housing, hospitality partner Tony Viola was enjoyable. Too bad not being able to meet because my interactions were with her. The location is perfect in the main pedestrian street with entertainment and shops. The accommodation is very nice, spacious room and terrace, very nice to talk with different travelers. If Viola was to bring improvement to the comfort of the guests, it would be a firmer bedding, softer pillows and air conditioning, I have not slept very well.

Great! Good location, communication was good, nice roofterrace. Nice and interested host plus family. Good price for quality

Very good all .. the house is in the center of the city very close to everything. This well-equipped rooms are spacious. It has a very nice terrace

I could not find better. A wonderful house, behind the Teatro Massimo, run by wonderful people. The house fully reflects their personality: colorful, cheerful, beautiful pictures and beautiful readings. The icing on the cake is the beautiful terrace (right photo), made available to guests, which offers unparalleled views of Palermo. I return to find them certainly.

On arrival in the alley you do not expect the rooms are so spacious with Anna. This is because the rooms are nice and high. We were very kindly received and all instantly make you feel at home in the cozy furnished common areas. Maria has given us from the roof a "tour" through the city and tells a lot about the city. The location of the B & B is perfect. Everything within walking distance and very centrally located. The breakfast is fine, everything is ready and you can pick it whenever you want. Parking in front of the door.

Maria was great! She waited up until midnight for me to arrive, and left me a piece of cake for breakfast one day! She was great at giving advice and directions around Palermo. The room was perfect, big, and had its own AC unit. Plus the bathroom was right next to the room and very spacious. If I get the opportunity to return to Palermo I will absolutely stay here again!

Maria was a delightful host, she kindly met us and helped park our car and find the apartment. We enjoyed our short stay, Maria also got us going with a map and thoughtful suggestions, and our room was quite comfortable. Grazie!

Maria knows how to welcome you with great sympathy and availability, the house is very cozy with every comfort. A very pretty colorful and lively decor with vintage and authentic side. The highlight: the beautiful terrace in which to cool off and take time with a splendid view of Palermo. Ideally placed, with the bonus, the market almost at the foot of the house. I recommend this accommodation where you feel at home.

Maria is awesome and so is her house. Nice clean room, Nice roofterrace and Maria was very helpfull with everything. Central location close to public transport as well. Definitely recommended

Charming couple and charming cosy apartment. They were very helpful and the location is perfect. We would recommend highly to anyone and definitely stay again.

Beautiful cosy apartment nestled in the rooftops right in the heart of the old city. Hot shower, strong WiFi and a fantastic view of the cathedral from the little terrace off the kitchen. Fully recommend.

I stayed with Federica and Alessandro for a month, and through their introduction, Palermo really became an eye opening experience for me, while they became dear friends. no matter if you want to stay in the city just for a couple of days or for a longer period, I can highly recommend you to make casa gioia your base. it is located beautifully in one of those small, atmospheric streets in the old city center, from where you can discover everything by foot. from the balcony, you have a magnificent view over a nearby church and a cluster of labyrinthine rooftops. federica is an amazingly friendly, welcoming and warm hearted Person, and she disposes of a vast array of knowledge about which places to visit, where to find the best swordfish and melanzane pasta, or how to get around. she is a great host and will help you discover aspects of palermitan life and culture that are hard to find on your own. I felt really at home there, and so this is the only bad thing about this place: you might feel a bit sad when you have to leave it again.

Very nice location in Palermo! Federica was very welcoming, warm hearted and helpful! She knows Palermo very well and could provide us with tips and a complete introducrion to the city! The flat is very charming in the historic cirty center! Perfect for visiting Palermo by feet and for night life! The bedroom was comfortable, offered great intimacy and had a air condotionner!! I think federica is a hreat host, which welcomes visitor with a great spirit of sharing. I would definitely go again!!

We arrived at Federica and Alessandro late by more than 2 hours because of our flight but they were very kind, they were waiting for us both to the apartment and made us very nicely. They directly gave us good places to go for dinner and visits the next day and a map of downtown that has proven very useful to complement that of the backpacker. We had the room next to the kitchen, very nice with aircon and quiet, except for a few revelers passing through the streets of this central district. The bed was a bit firm for me but very bearable for the two days we spent. otherwise excellent experience and very good coffee! :)

Federica has warmly welcomed us into his home and gave us great advice for visiting or eating out. We really recommend this place.

The location of the apartment is ideal. Frederica is very nice and knows good addresses in Palermo for a nice stay. We had a great time !

This was a wonderful place to stay, the hosts are very kind and knowledgeable about their city, and it was a lovely place to stay that was all the better for the company (and the food)!!

The house is located in the center of Palermo and is perfect to be able to move comfortably on foot. Alberto is a great host, greets you on arrival giving all relevant information on the house but also on how to move and what to visit in Palermo! Alberto thank you very much for your welcome!

We had a great stay at Alberto's place. The flat is kept very clean and the room is wide. Alberto is a great host, providing useful tips about the city on our arrival. He also organised an evening out with all the (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). Go for it !

Fantastic location in historical center of Palermo. But most of all a great host Alberto! With his tips you’ll spend unforgettable time in Palermo.

Convivial and comfortable room in the apartment in the heart of the city. We had a great time and I highly recommend it. Alberto extremely available, we organized a day of visits, tastings and experiences great.

We stayed only one night (too short!!) we were very well welcomed, the neighbourhood is quite loud because it's very lively so it does not bother, it was a cool place to stay thanks to Alberto who is a great host!

Spacious room in a great functional and very well located in the historic Palermo close to the station (train and bus) and famous monuments and numerous cafes, restaurants, shops ... Alberto is friendly, responsive and good advice ! (One downside, the noise due to the proximity of a street rather lively at night: room not recommended for layer-tot)

I was very good and Alberto is very nice, you get well and is good advice, if you will definitely return to Palermo from Alberto, plus it's very central and close to everything, thanks to Alberto. Everything was all right at Alberto's home. Alberto is actually very friendly. He makes you feel welcome and Gives You longer available advice. If I have to go back to Palermo I will choose Alberto's place very willingly. Furthermore it's central and closed to everything. Thank you Alberto Tout s'est très bien passé qui est chez Alberto extrêmement sympathique. Tu es bien reçu, the te donne de bons conseils. Si je je retourne à Palerme retournerai chez Alberto très volontiers, en plus c'est très central et proche de tout. Goods Alberto.

Alberto was one of our favourite hosts, even outside Sicily! He is a fantastic guide and takes great care of his visitors. On the first day he would give us a map and show us where to go, where to eat, what to see and what to not bother with, and took us all out for bar-hopping in the evening, trying the local cuisine. But it did not end there! Throughout our four night stay he would text us where there are local parties so that we don't miss a thing, even if he could not go. He has great tips about what to do in and outside Palermo, we could not have asked for more. If you like to know how the locals spend their time in Sicily, get away from tourist traps, eat good food and drink delicious 1 euro wine, Alberto is the one to stay with! The room itself is indeed very big and comfortable, just like on the pictures. The house is very cozy, there is a kitchen you can use to cook your own food, and two shared bathrooms for comfort. Alberto has two dogs that are very friendly and playful, but are kept in a separate room so they don't bother you. Overall, staying at Alberto's was a fantastic experience and a highlight of our trip to Sicily, and we would love to come back one day. Our warmest recommendations!

David was very helpful to explain a bit 'the area. The house is cozy, in a good area of Palermo convenient to visit the major attractions of Palermo. Available for any need, David has proven flexible and kind.

Davide was friendly and welcoming. He gave us many tips about things to do and see in Palermo. As other reviewers have said, noise is a bit of an issue in the evening, as the flat is next to a busy bar, but this didn't bother us too much, and the flat is a quirky, interesting space.

Davide was a great host. He collected us from the airport bus and spent a lot of time explaining good places to see in Palermo. We also got to meet his lovely daughter Sara. The apartment is in one of the most interesting parts of the city and very close to the markets and other sights. The apartment was clean and the bed very comfortable, but is on a very noisy street so if you are sensitive to noise then bring some good earplugs. We were a bit late checking out but Davide was very accommodating and we would not hesitate to recommend this place if you are staying in Palermo.

The location was great! I came into Palermo on the airport bus and it was a straightforward walk down Via Roma as far as San Domenico. Everything could be walked to from there, nearby restaurants, the marina, shops, Teatro Massimo...even out to Renzo Barbera for a match! The place was comfortable and great value, happy to stay there again!

Davide was a wonderful host! He picked us up at the bus station and gave us a very warm welcome to Palermo. He took time to show us all the "must see" places on the map, gave us hints for good restaurants and with his suggestions for nightlive he made our saturday evening in Palermo unforgettable! Thank you Davide for making our trip to Palermo so special and for showing us real sicilian hospitality! The house is perfectly located in the inner city, everything is within walking distance. The fotos show exactly what you get and when we needed help, he was at our disposal within minutes. We would definitely recommend a stay at Davides place!

Davide was a great host. The apartment is same as the pictures on Airbnb, it was clean and the location is close to pretty much everything that is worth seeing in Palermo. Davide was very helpful in showing us a safe parking spot for our car rental, and he provided us with a map of the city's attractions. He also gave us good restaurant recommendations too! We would stay at his Pied a terre again if we return to Palermo for sure!

Palermo is a city well worth visiting for many more days, my stay was only one night but it was incredible, Davide flat was very well located and pretty nice everything in order and clean just as it look in the pics.

Davide is a wonderful host, very friendly, welcoming and full of great advice and tips. He was very patient in picking us up - we had a little trouble to find each other. The apartment is a wonderful place, full of details that show with how much love he has restored the place. All in all a great place to stay and very central in the old part of Palermo.

Our stay at Rosi's and Gabriele's apartment was excellent. The apartment is at the historic center, an excellent location for visiting the city during the day and surrounded by nightlife spots for the night (however, it's completely quiet, even though a couple of blocks away there are hundreds of people in the street). The apartment is in an old building but it is recently renovated, so everything is very functional. It is also very clean. One of my frieds explicitely ask me to write that she appreciated how well it smells, as well as how she liked that there was a large collection of coffee, teas, and herbal teas. Rosi and Gabriele are both very friendly and very nice, and helpful for making our stay in Palermo pleasant. Highly recommended.

Good time in Palermo. The hosts are really kindly and helpfull. Was one of the best Airbnb I stay.

Lovely apartment with a very quirky decor! Very clean, welcoming and cozy. Great location and very friendly hosts. Thank you very much for a lovely stay! We would definitely come back again!

We had a lovely short stay at Rosi and Gabriele's place. The apartment is very centrally located and easily accessible for travelers with car ( Gabriele told us of an open parking place just around the corner) The rooms are recently Renovated with nice simple furniture ( great mattresses ) and was spotless clean! A plus was the breakfast which gave a nice start to the day. The host was extremely friendly and very easy to communicate with. He also gave us good tips about restaurants and bars in the very lively neighborhood. Overall a very nice experience.

Professional and kind hosts with a nice, clean and comfortable apartment. They offered us a bed and bath for our baby, which was perfect!

Wonderful and stylish decorated apartment in the center of Palermo. Great bed, kitchen and bathroom. Really good value for money. The only "negative" point I can mention is that the hosts looked like they were a bit in a rush when we arrived in the apartment. but it was a Sunday so it is understandable.

Thank you Rosi and Gabriele, we enjoyed our stay and thought your apartment was beautiful. Great attention to details and very profesional. Parking was a bit tricky, but you helped every step of the way.

Rosi and Gabrielle have been wonderful and lovely hosts! They have welcomed us warmly and made us feel comfortable right away. They are very nice and charming and have decorated the place with lots of little details. The apartment is located right downtown - but it's perfectly quiet at night. It's spacious and very clean. We have enjoyed our stay very, very much and highly recommend this place!

Luigi was a great host, we didn't have any problems whatsoever. He picked us up at the central station and gave clear and useful directions on how to get there from the airport. The description of the apartment is accurate as in the listing. The location is in the centre from where you can visit all the sites by foot. The area is popular for the night life, and from thursday to sunday it is very lively. If you don't enjoy the noise, the first part of the week is quite calm. If you want to experience the real Palermo at night, this location is perfect! I would recommend it as a great value for the money and would stay there again.

I had a great stay in Palermo. Luigi is a very friendly host, who made me feel welcome right away. He was available and helpful, picked me up and also brought me to the station when I left. Thanks a lot Luigi :D The appartment is as described. I really liked the fact that it was in a street with bars and restaurants and also the supermarket was around the corner. The historical centre can be easily reached by foot or bus. Also 2 beautiful beaches can be reached easily by bus (about 15 minutes) For those traveling by public transport, the central station is only 2 minutes away, so it's very easy to continue your trip and go to another place from here.

Luigi was really nice and accommodating! His flat clean and minimalistic, perfect for someone traveling on a budget. The area at night has some music and cheap pizzerias with good vibe.

The location was perfect! The very accurate description in the announcement.

perfect stay, great location to experience the city. Luigi was very helpful and flessbile

The studio is very sweet, and very well located. Small but nice. The host is very respectful and helpful. The only thing, which can disturb you is the music and talks from the bars in the street. If you need a calm place to stay and go to bed early, think twice. But I fell ok about it, very close to everywhere.

Luigi is the perfect host: this since before the start, very flexible, always easily contactable and super helpful (so much so that he even gave us a ride to the station on the way back!). The house respected descriptions and photos, clean, equipped with hairdryer, sheets and towels and that can serve in the kitchen. The space for two people is liveable. The neighborhood is very lively and on weekends the music remains high until late, but for us it was an advantage: we had a good pizzeria and bar downstairs and the location is very central! If you really want to find a flaw: the sofa bed a bit uncomfortable for a few days is not a problem for people wishing to stay ..but much could be! That said, we are very happy with our experience and if you go over from Palermo will definitely return here!

Luigi is a great guy! We arrived late and he picked us up from the central station and took us to the apartment. Very friendly and replied to my messages quickly when I had questions. The apartment is in the old part of the city, close to the points of interest. If you're looking to enjoy the nightlife it's perfect as it's just outside. It's noisy until late but if you don't mind that then it's fine. Overall, had a great stay and would stay again.

We have been received with kindness by our host, friendly and warm. The apartment is clean, functional and ideally situated to take maximum advantage of Palermo on foot. We highly recommend this address.

Good value, has everything you need and host was really helpful giving advice about what to do in Palermo. I would recommend staying here.

Good price / performance ratio, Rosario and Julius are very helpful and kind. The room is small but does not lack anything. I recommend it :)

Tiny room but you don't go to live there. If the bed fits in, nothing else matters as you are only going to sleep there. Room was clean and host gave a lot of tips about surrounding areas.

My small room was very nice and cozy, with everything I needed. Clean and comfortable appartment with nice and helpful host in a quiet area.

Thanks for everything, they were made to stay at the last minute and they were very flexible with my time of arrival. The location is very central, perfect for a (short) stay.

I was fine for many reasons, the two friendly owners and easygoing, the cozy and warm home. CONSIGLIATISSIMI

Find sound easy. The most suitable size for people Alone trip. Haeteum clean. Haejum host kindly explained everything.
