Casa Giuditta Palermo Central  

Nice and spacey apartment with working air-condition and wifi. We were actually given a larger one than we paid for. You will be greeted by Salvo who gave us nice recommendations for places around. We really liked the little restaurant right next to the apartment with fresh fish grill and good wine. Go for a nearby local market for breakfast, awesome experience

location

Cold!! Mold on the bathroom wall. Cockroachs!! Leaking water in showe-rroom and from tap in a kitchen.

The apartment is very nice, spotlessly clean and comfortable. We were received by the owner Salvo, who is a very friendly and nice person, and his charming and gorgeous wife Tatiana. The location is in the older part of Palermo, close to the Botanical Garden, which I came to visit, and the seaside. Donatella, who work for Casa Giuditta, collected us at the airport for a very reasonable fee and was most helpful in explaining the history of the area, and of the city. She gave us good advice for restaurants and touring. The apartment has a big flat screen Tv and internet Wifi and a view on the square of piazza della Kalsa. Salvo told me in perfect English that they have many apartments in the same building. He does his work with passion and did everything to support us. One little accident could ruin my holiday: I forgot my bag in the nearby fish restaurant with more than 300 euro and several credit card plus Iphone. I was sure my holiday could be a mess but they were looking for me and they gave my bag, intact!! I felt very protected in that part of the city, there were so many tourists around and I feel that people there live with tourists and respect them. Of course if you choose an apartment and not an hotel you must be ready to live like a local, Salvo told me that many customers choose the apartment because is cheaper but after complain that there is not 24 hour reception, buffet breakfast etc. Instead I enjoyed the in room kitchen and a big fridge and washing machine, I was traveling for long and this stop has been good to wash everything ! In short, we loved it and will return, perhaps in July 2011. Highly recommended.

Liked the fact that it was an appartment to include washing machine and stove... As well as pots, pans, and utensils. Also enjoyed the outside area with all the locals. Great location.

Bad feeling we got from owner, Salvo. Seemed very shady and wanted cash up front - not advertised as such and took us totaly by surprise. He told us that a cash machine was very far away and he would have to drive my husband to it. Very uncomfortable feeling -- made us think we were in some kind of a international travel scam. That day we found a cash machine up the street. I was left at apt with my 3 year old son and my husband was taken... This all after being in apt for 10 min. Prior to that our apt was not ready for us and we had to wait outside for over an hour. And lastly this should not be advertised as kid friendly, noisy outside until 31m each night, the child service is not available as advertised as he told us we were the first people to ask in 10 years and he did not have childcare on hand. He then was goingto have his wife come and sit for us... That didn't sit good with us, plus it not a good location for children. Extrememly unhappy with Salvo and his rude attitude toward us, my husband finally had to go off on him. He seems way to shaddy and pushy... Like a washed up car salesman who still thinks hes got it.

We arrived at Casa Giuditta after a long bus ride from Trapani. Donatella, a charming lady, welcomed us and even helped to carry our baggage. As I understand she speaks 5 languages ! Donatella told us a lot of the city, gave us maps and pinned the must see things (there are a lot of :) ). Our room was in the "main flat" - because there's another flat next to this one. It was nicely decorated, there's air condition of course - quite useful, because the summer in Sicily is hot. The bathroom is ok, there's a cabin (for two people), toilet, and the usual stuffs. The room was spotless, and the bed was comfortable. There was also kitchen fully equipped and washing machine. We didn't have problems with the water – plenty of hot water - also the wifi worked very good. This is not a hotel, so don't expect scrambled eggs, hamburgers, and the usual American or western European breakfast things: breakfast in italy is just a croissant and a cup of coffee. Of course if you want more there is the kitchen and a big fridge with refrigerator for self catering, so one have plenty of options to choose. There’s wireless internet inside the room, for free, I did not find it even in luxurious hotel (my last experience was to pay 5 euro per hour for wifi in a 5 star hotel ! ) We'll surely return! Thanks for everything!

Everything was fine. Only better to send and sms or e-mail to inform about arrival time, especially if you plan to arrive late.

Location is nice - 10 mins walking to all points. Two nice street cafes for locals - looks not so luxurious but very friendly atmosphere, tasty and fresh sea food.

We've got room in the basement, it was wet and smelled with mould. Bathroom was not big enough for my 50 kilo, I always touched the walls with my elbows.

It is apartments. There is no restaurant inside, but you may buy food in a market and prepare it in a kitchen. Good location in the historic center of Palermo. There are many restaurants and interesting places near the apartments. But there were problems with hot water.

Gar nichts hat uns gefallen. Die Bilder im Netz haben nicht zu tun mit dem Loch wo wir untergebracht waren. Es hat gestunken, die Wände waren feucht, es gab kein Tageslicht. Die Gegend im Dunkel war schockierend. Es gab kein Frühstück, WLAN und Parkplatz sowie angekundigt in der Beschreibung.

Proximité centre historique de Palerme

Ce loueur demande un paiement en cash au lieu du paiement en CB indiqué sur votre site ; d'autre part, cet appartement est située dans une rue relativement bruyante

La posizione centrale

Infrastrutture poco curate: mancanza di microonde, bagno che perdeva e pentole e stoviglie carenti o malridotte.

L'habitació és espaiosa

No esmorzar. Preguntat ens remetien a un bar de molt baixa categoria a fer un cafè amb llet.

Localisation dans un quartier sympathique, suffisamment proche des lieux à visiter et tout près du corso de bord de mer

1. Inexistence de service de réception à l'adresse indiquée : tout se passe par mobile et le "responsable" arrive en voiture ; malheureusement j'avais un problème de mobile et nous avons perdu 2 heures à joindre et attendre le responsable : heureusemnt cela était en milieu de journée ! 2. pas de service ni livraison de petit déjeuner comme promis et prévu
