"Logement super original à recommander"

10.0

Le cadre est évidemment super original et incomparable. Martina était super disponible, nous a fourni plein de bons conseils, un grand merci à elle. Le bateau propose 2 chambres (une grande et une petite avec des lits superposés), 2 wc avec lavabo dont 1 avec douche. Nous sommes plutôt allées nous doucher à la capitainerie pour être moins à l'étroit mais ce n'était pas un souci. Il y a aussi une cuisine et un petit salon, et évidemment tout l'espace sur la partie haute où on peut lire ou prendre l'apéritif sur des banquettes sous le soleil de Palerme (même fin octobre ! ). Tout était très propre. L'accès au bateau se fait par un ponton dont l'accès est sécurisé par un code et la partie inférieure du bateau ferme à clé. Le port est à 10 min à pied du centre historique. Nous sommes souvent rentrées tard et nous sommes senties en sécurité en permanence. Et quel calme!

"Netradiční typ ubytování s pozorováním hvězd v přístavu."

10.0

Nejlepší nápad na ubytování v Palermu! Marina je nově bezpečná, nově opravená, s krásnou promenádou, obchody a restauracemi, zároveň je to z přístavu kousek do centra historického Palerma. Ubytování na lodi umožňuje trávit hodně času venku, což bylo ve stále teplém zářijovém počasí skvělé, včetně poležení na přídi. Slečna Martina je velice komunikativní a pečující, osobní předání klíčů a předání lodi bylo bez problémů. Auto jsme nechávaly ve velkém podzemním parkovišti (Orlando) kvůli plnému kufru. Bydlení na Desiré je vtipná alternativa k tradičnímu ubytování. Určitě se vrátíme!!

This was probably the best stay in Sicily:) Martina and Diego made sure we lacked nothing, they are incredibly caring and thoughtful hosts. We got such a nice welcome, arriving after a day on the train. Martina was waiting for us despite the delay, with cool water and excellent wine. It was like it's a magic boat: if you need anything, you will surely find it, tucked away in one of the corners of the boat :) On the first night, we were even so lucky as to see Santa Rosalia fest fireworks show right from the boat. Also the location is perfect: you step down right into the alleys of the historic center of Palermo, a few minutes' walk to the main attractions. When we're back in Palermo, we'll definitely stay here again. Thank you!

"En virkelig god oplevelse da vi ikke havde overnattet på en båd før. Martina og Diego det perfekte værtspar, så søde og"

9.0

At der var alt hvad der skulle være på den skønne båd og alle mennesker omkring os var rigtig søde 😊 Lå i gåafstand til byen og tæt på baderum 💦

Den lille bro fra land til båd, der manglede et reb at holde i 😉

"The top place to stay in Palermo!"

10.0

This was, hands down, the best place I have ever booked! Even before our arrival, Martina contacted us and gave us lots of useful information about Desirè and the local area. She was very easily contactable and quickly answered any queries we had. The stay on desire exceeded all our expectations - the boat was beautifully clean, and had everything we could ever need. There was great attention to detail including lots of extra lighting, 2 fridges (one on deck), and a Bluetooth speaker. Below deck, the air-con was a lifesaver when escaping from the 30oC heat, and the mattress in the main bedroom was more comfortable than most hotels (we forgot we were on a boat!). Desirè is located very close to the centre of Palermo, with all amenities only a short walk away. The marina is also very modern with lots of restaurants, cafes and bars. I hope to return again in the future, and would recommend a stay on Desirè to anyone wishing to visit Palermo. Thank you for a superb experience!

I have nothing negative to add.

"Fantastisch"

10.0

Prachtige locatie in de haven dichtbij het oude centrum. Hele knusse boot, echt een keer iets anders om te verblijven. Super aardige eigenaar.

Toilet op de boot vonden we niet prettig. Vandaar dat we het sanitair gedeelte bij de haven hebben gebruikt. Dat was prima maar even wennen als je dat niet meer gewend bent.
