Fantastic Location and a Host to Match
My husband and I stayed in Calogero’s rental apartment for 10 days in March ‘25. The apartment is in an excellent location to walk to Theatro Massimo, Capo Market, Quattro Canti, and a little further, the Cathedral and Palazzo Reale. It is situated close to La Cala as well. It is exactly as described. It was nice to have the two full bathrooms. The apartment is very large. The bed was comfortable and the linens good quality. The second bed is in a living area, but separated by a curtain. We did most of our hanging out in the kitchen, which has a sofa, or on the balcony - having our morning Bialetti café, afternoon Spritz and evening meal. The kitchen is large and the extractor fan and lights worked! Nice gas hob. Happy plates :) Good sized fridge. But, most amazing of all is Calogero. A truly amazing host. He actually took us on a little walk around the neighbourhood to introduce us to the butcher, show us the vegetable stall, local coffee roaster, enoteca and where to buy pizza and roasted chickens. I had needed some pants hemmed and he physically took me to the seamstress and translated for me! We parked on the street initially, but then decided to rent the parking spot Calogero had on offer. Parking and driving in Palermo is not for the faint of heart. The rented parking spot was very close and safe. We had an Opel Corsa and it fit. A larger car may not have. I highly recommend Calogero and his apartment. I would not hesitate to stay again. Stay well!Thanks
