Mari and Paolo are wonderful hosts—warm welcome, fresh fruit upon arrival, a wealth of shared information and suggestions, truly invaluable. We’ll definitely be coming back.

The hosts Marie and Paolo are very kind, hospitable and personable people! We were there for 4 days from April 21st, and from the moment we stepped into the house, they guided us in everything :) About the apartment: a nice view from the balcony and I really liked the view of the tiled roof from the kitchen window. And there was a washing machine, I think all tourists will agree with me, this is one of the most necessary things that is usually neglected in hotels. :) And also the convenient location of the house. And thank you, you saved us from missing the last train on our trip. It was so stressful, you did everything, and we made it on time..🙏🙏🙏

It was really lucky to meet Mari and Paolo in Sicily. Before leaving Korea, they kindly sent me various helpful information via Messenger about tourist attractions, parking, and the check-in process in Palermo. When I first saw them, they welcomed us warmly with fruit and coffee. Although I’ve stayed in many places, this was the first time I saw a host carrying and moving our luggage. It was incredibly heavy, but they didn’t hesitate to help. They even contacted me early in the morning before going to work to assist with moving the luggage to the car. Even after we had checked out and moved to another accommodation, I faced a rental car issue and couldn’t communicate due to the language barrier. Mari and Paolo didn’t ignore my request. They kindly listened, contacted the rental car company and the tow truck driver on my behalf, and solved everything for me. I was truly touched by the cleanliness and comfort of the house, but more than that, I was amazed by their kindness and generosity. To those reading this review: don’t waste your time looking at other places—just come here. I was so fortunate to receive such warmth and support in an unexpected and unfamiliar situation. They weren’t just hosts offering a house—they truly cared. I hope Mari and Paolo are always healthy and happy. I really hope to see you again. ♡

First of all, we would like to highlight the hospitality of Marinella and Paolo. We were welcomed so warmly and we received lots of information and tips before and during our stay. That was really exceptionally great. They are always available and even helped us with the shared taxi to the airport (there was a strike in public transport). The apartment is really very nice and nothing is missing. It is easily accessible by public transport and you can be in the historic city center in just a few minutes' walk. In the area you can find everything you need, supermarket, bakery, wine shop. It was a wonderful and authentic stay in Palermo. We can absolutely recommend the apartment and we would love to come back.

We had the pleasure of staying in an apartment that truly captures the essence of an authentic neighborhood, while being conveniently located near the center. Above all, our experience was elevated by the exceptional hospitality of Mary and Paolo. Their kindness and the insightful recommendations they provided greatly enriched our stay. Their thoughtful tips were invaluable and contributed significantly to making our visit memorable.

The location and neighbourhood served all our purposes very well. The apartment was well equipped and spotless. But above all, it was the engagement, friendliness and efforts of our super hosts Paolo and Mari that made our stay, truly memorable. Mari and Paolo are simply the best! They went above and beyond in making us feel welcome and provided us with the best recommendations on attractions and eateries!

Nothing

Paolo and Maria were amazing and very helpful. As the location is in the center we had to parked the car on the street in front of the apartment so Paolo help us to keep the space for our car:) and was no issue with that. They recommend us where and what to eat and where to go and visit. We highly recommended to choose Paulo and Maria .

There were 58 steps to climb inside to get from the front door to the apartment. This would have been good to know in advance. There is a good handrail and the steps were all clean and safe. For some people this might be an issue.

Mari and Paulo were very helpful with directions and recommendations. They love were they live and wanted us to see and love Sicily also. We had a great time exploring.

This is not a dislike, just my own comfort; my husband slept like a log, but I had trouble sleeping, the bed was a bit hard for me, extra pillows would have been beneficial. I didn't ask for any though, I am sure if I had they would have provided them.

The host was lovely, Mari guided us with every step, to ensure our safe arrival and to answer any question we had. The apartment was lovely, quiet, spacious and clean. The kitchenette had everything we needed and there was even a tin of coffee and other supplies available to use. Mari provided us with loads of information and great suggestions which we did seek out and were fabulous to visit. The umbrella thank goodness was there to use since it rained the first two days of our stay!

Excellent location and apartment - and then on top Paolo's and Mariella's warm hospitality and insider hints what to explore besides the usual

The only thing that I could think of that was a small inconvenience was the ceiling height in the loft bedroom. For my wife it wasn't an issue but anyone over 6 ft you'll need to watch your head.

Paolo met us at the front door and helped bring our luggage up for us. Once inside he explained all of functions in the apartment we needed.The rooms were just as shown on the Booking site. Great living area and Kitchen.

The apartment was really nice and perfect for our stay. On our arrival both Mari and Paolo were there to welcome us, show us the apartment and give us tips for the city. We even got a huge plate of fresh fruit to enjoy on the cute balcony. Mari and Paolo were very helpful with everything and had some good recommendations. The apartment was nice although the bathroom was quite small. The location was great, not in the centre but only 5 minutes by foot away from it. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back every time.

Everything was perfect. The apartment is very nice and spacious, it has everything you might need during your vacation. The location of the apartment is also great. Mari and Paolo are super nice, always giving tips and suggestions on what to see, where to eat or where to go on a trip.

It was on the 3rd floor the stairs were pretty high ( the host helped me to carry my heavy bagguages upstairs). The bathroom opens from the kitchen and it is pretty small.

Clean property, the hosts were amazingly helpful ( maps.suggestions where to eat and they helped us by organizing taxishare to the airport). They were really and informative. It is a well equipped apartman. They let us use the apartman until our late flight ( 10pm) for an extra fee.we were so thankful!

A lot of steep steps to the flat, very small bathroom and kitchen.

The hosts were very kind and supportive. The flat was clean, on walking distance from the centre and interesting places in Palermo.
