Casa Florio Appartamenti

We spent 7 days in Palermo, respectively in Casa Florio. The house is as in the pictures on the website, furnished with good taste and equipped with everything you need. The host Lorenzo provided us with a series of useful information and answered any questions on whatsapp.

The only problem, which I cannot fault the host, is related to the sewage system in the area and the unpleasant and persistent smell that you could feel in the bathroom. Of course, we kept trying to cover it with different deodorants and we got over it.

Nice apartment plenty of room for 2, it needs a ironing board their is room, a kettle really ia a need boiling a pan on cooker is a pain, also their is plenty of room for a wardrobe hanging clothes above the tv is not good, plenty of pots and pans plates and other bits, nice garden area but not all is used and a small BBQ could be a nice touch, u keep in contact on WhatsApp for your needs we stayed 7 days why should we ask for a change of sheets and towels it should be don automatically we just hung them in garden for a flreshing up, but he is a nice man has a nice and secure set up

A bit disappointed in the area

Beautiful arrangement of the rooms. Close to city center.

Spacious kitchen, terrace and stylish interior. Quiet place in the noisy city. Two suoermarket in 3 minutes walking distance. Last but not least - welcome bottle of Sicilian wine 😀

Very small shower which needs replacement. Location. It was impossible to reach historical centre without changing a bus or long walk. The problem is that public transportation doesn't work properly. Bus schedules exist only in theory and bus stops are poorly marked. Local government shame on you.

We had a great stay at Casa Florio. The apartment is nice and cozy, we had everything, including the possibility to cook. The terrace is very nice. It was very close from the event where I need to participate (7 minutes by walk). We arrived easy from the airport, the train station was at 10 minutes by walk from the propriety. Arriving late, Lorenzo showed us a nice restaurant open after 21.00 and the bottle of wine and water that we found in the apartment was nice to have late, when all the supermarkets were closed.

we liked everything and thanks to Lorenzo for everything.

This apartment run by the affable Lorenzo is a very cozy little apartment that would suit a couple or perhaps a couple with a child between 5 and 10 years old. Lorenzo asked if we wanted a small bed made out for our son who is two, but we told him not to bother as he can sleep with us in the double bed which is plenty big. The apartment is warm, clean and has decent facilities to prepare some lunches and maybe a simple meal if you're not up for going out for food. There are some nice personal touches. Lorenzo puts a few wine and beer glasses in the fridge for you so you have a nice cold glass to drink form. There were a few bags of biscuits to enjoy. A bottle of multivitamin juice was also in the fridge. There was a television in the room and there was very high speed internet. There was also a drying rack for clothes. Though there's no washing machine so I guess this is mostly for bathing suits or for drying out towels after you've taken your shower. It's decorated nicely, there's good water pressure in the shower and there was always plenty of hot water for us all to wash and do dishes etc. There were some bottles of oil, bags of salt and even a little remining in a bag of coffee. Lorenzo is always quite helpful with communication. He's very clear and responsive. When we arrived he gave us a little tour of the property, how the locks worked etc and then drew on a local map of where we were and where eveything nearby is such as shops and the old town.

The internet cut out a few times. I was trying to get away from work and switch off and we'd roaming on our internet so it wasn't too big a deal. There was a piece of the shower door that had come loose. Lorenzo definitely would want to get that fixed. It isn't the most ideal location for a couple with a son our age (two and a half). The drivers in Palermo are pretty wild. And when they park their cars you'll rarely me crossing the pedestrian crossing without a driver blocking the entry to the crossing where you're meant to enter the road and another driver blocking where you leave the road and get on the next footpath. It's also further from where there's anything worth seeing than I thought. Were we a few years younger and without our son a 1.5 or 2 km is not that long a walk. But it can turn from 20 minutes to an hour when your little one gets distracted by everything they see along the way. Also Palermo's old town os big, but there's one main street worth seeing, and a decent market and then the marina is pretty good. Those are all quite far into the old town. There's also a small business next door that seems to run machinery every day from late morning till the afternoon. It's not deafening but you're listening to a humming noise and machinery noise quite a lot if you stay in the apartment rather than go out.

The property had absolutely everything we needed. Our host Lorenzo was so lovely and the most helpful host of a property we’ve ever stayed at. So kind and generous and helpful! The property was lovely, spacious and perfect for our stay. Everything is within a short walk if you want to travel.

This lovely little apartment was impeccably clean and comfortable with everything you need with lightning fast internet and a good location. The owner Lorenzo gave us so many tips and information on where to go and what to do around the city and even greeted us upon arrival personally to make sure we got settled ok with some very generous gifts and warm hospitality. We simply cannot recommend this place enough! Grazie Lorenzo 🙏

Nothing negative to say about this place at all.

The appartment is very well equipped, quiet and very nicely decorated. It is also close to everything, to the centre you need to walk for about 15-20 minutes, and this is a very nice walk with many beautiful buildings on the way. In the area of the appartment there are also very good priced places for lunch and dinner. The host of the appartment was extremely helpful. Our luggage was delayed with 2 days and he puicked it up for us, so we did not have to waste any time while in Palermo. He also gave us a lot of useful touristic information.

Well decorated apartment with a very well equipped kitchen. Spacious bedroom and lovely outside terrace, enjoyed our morning coffee sitting on the terrace. Welcome pack left by the owner with pasta, sauce and wine, we didn’t do any cooking in the apartment though. Lovely bakery just along the street and another just a few minutes walk away and supermarket only a short walk away too. Very easy to get into Palermo by train, just a 10 minute walk to the station and trains every half an hour. Lorenzo provided lots of information on the city, provided good directions to the property and responded quickly to all messages.

No air conditioning in apartment, my fault for not picking this up when booking. We travelled to Palermo in August and it was very warm. There were two fans in the property but even with both fans on the apartment was still warm.
