Panoramica Blu

Die Terrasse ist das absolute Highlight der Wohnung. Zweiter Pluspunkt ist die Lage. Direkt gegenüber dem botanischem Garten, in Gehweite zum Bahnhof und zum Meer und in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Piazzo Magione mit der Collegio Santa Maria della Sapienza und vielen Lokalen, die fast ausschließlich von jungen Einheimischen besucht werden. Wir haben uns selten so wohl in Palermo gefühlt, auch weil das Appartement von Marco und Patrizia ein sehr ruhiger Rückzugsort ist, wenn man dann einmal seine Ruhe haben will. Die beiden sind übrigens super nett, vielen Dank, und wir kommen sicher nur dann wieder nach Palermo, wenn diese Unterkunft frei ist :-)

Die Küche könnte etwas besser ausgestattet sein, wobei wir überrascht waren, dass so viele Lebensmittel vorhanden waren, wie Kaffee, Tee, Essig, Öl Salz, Gewürze etc. die wir auch verwenden durften. Eine funktionierende Geschirrspülmaschine wäre natürlich ein Traum und vielleicht wird die ja einmal repariert?!

Die Aussicht von den 2 Terassen sind ein Traum. Der Besitzer sehr nett. Nahe zum Strand und viele Möglichkeiten zum essen und Trinken in unmittelbarer Nähe.

Die Wohnung liegt im 7. Stock bzw. noch höher. Der Aufzug ist nichts für schwache Nerven. Sehr, sehr alt, klein und ziemlich wackelig, haben dann doch ab und zu die Treppen genommen.

We had a wonderful stay😊 The hosts were incredibly kind and friendly. The apartment was clean and very well maintained and the view from the balcony was absolutely stunning! We highly recommend this accommodation!:)

We stayed at this property for two nights as part of a longer trip across Italy, choosing it mainly for the panoramic views over Palermo — which were undeniably the highlight of the stay. Location is good and close to Ballarò Market which is only a 10‑minute walk and well worth visiting.

Although I expected the apartment to be somewhat older, the overall condition was far more dated than anticipated. Both the interior and exterior showed noticeable wear, including large cracks along the balcony walls and a generally tired appearance throughout. We went out of season and the apartment was cold on arrival. Dated heating system took a while to heat up, but was sufficient once eventually warm. Would have been nicer to have arrived with it warmed through considering the weather. Several amenities listed in the property description were not provided on arrival, including a coffee machine, toaster, electric kettle, additional bathroom, free toiletries, bath, wine/champagne, tea/coffee maker, solarium, board games, puzzles, and an on‑site mini market. We requested basic toiletries and a kettle from the host, who lives in the same building. We were brought two half‑used bottles of shampoo and advised that no kettle was available, suggesting we boil water on the hob instead. While we did not need every advertised amenity, the number of missing items — combined with the apartment’s dated condition — left us feeling misled about what was included, especially for the price. There were some condiments (olive oil etc) left available in the cupboards but were over a year out of date. Additional issues included a broken toilet seat, very weak Wi‑Fi, what appeared to be dog hair on the sofa, and an uncomfortable mattress. No tea or coffee‑making facilities, toaster, or complimentary toiletries were provided. The property does have a small private balcony off the kitchen with lovely views of Palermo. However, directly below were numerous bin liners of rubbish behind a derelict building, which detracted from the experience. There is also a larger balcony shared with the hosts and their pets. The location is convenient — around 10 minutes from the train station — but this, along with the view, were the only meaningful positives.
