Bellissimo soggiorno
L’appartamento è ristrutturato di recente, curato e confortevole. La posizione, nel suggestivo quartiere della Zisa, è strategica per raggiungere il centro storico e i principali monumenti di Palermo. Da non perdere la colazione alla vicina pasticceria Cappello, strepitosa. La host signora Patrizia è gentilissima e ci ha dato ottimi consigli.
