Our
host,
Stefania,
was
a
true
gem
who
provided
us
with
exceptional
guidance
and
support
throughout
our
entire
journey,
from
the
moment
we
were
preparing
to
depart
from
London
until
we
returned
home.
She
left
no
detail
unattended,
ensuring
that
we
were
well-informed
about
ticket
purchases,
the
right
stations
to
disembark,
and
even
how
to
navigate
restaurants
and
Sicilian
cultural
life.
Stefania
not
only
equipped
us
with
practical
information
but
also
enriched
our
experience
with
insights
into
Palermo's
vibrant
cultural
and
culinary
scenes.
In
spite
of
us
not
having
opted
for
breakfast,
each
day,
we
were
treated
to
the
delightful
surprise
of
freshly
baked
Sicilian
pastries
waiting
at
our
doorstep.
Stefania's
warm
hospitality
made
us
feel
like
cherished
members
of
her
family,
a
significant
reason
why
we
will
eagerly
return
to
Peonia.
Peonia's
location
is
simply
perfect:
just
a
brisk
5-minute
walk
from
Vittorio
Emanuele,
where
all
the
city's
life
and
energy
converge.
It's
also
conveniently
close
to
Palermo's
archaeological
treasures,
Teatro
Massimo,
Palermo
Cathedral,
Fontana
Pretoria
(a
mere
3-minute
stroll),
and
a
manageable
15-minute
walk
from
Palermo
Central
Train
Station,
your
gateway
to
both
the
airport
and
the
enchanting
Cefalù
beach.
Traveling
as
a
single
parent
with
a
young
daughter,
safety
was
paramount
for
us.
The
environment
was
remarkably
secure,
with
well-lit
streets
and
QR
codes
to
get
into
the
building
for
added
peace
of
mind.
The
neighborhood
boasts
a
plethora
of
restaurants
and
inviting
terraces
where
you
can
unwind
and
savor
the
local
cuisine.
The
room
itself
was
impressively
clean,
comfortable,
and
meticulously
maintained,
ensuring
our
stay
was
worry-free
and
restful.
Our
room
provided
a
splendid
view
of
Piazza
and
Basilica
Olivella,
offering
a
charming
perspective
on
Palermo's
beautiful
landscapes.
This
picturesque
setting
added
to
the
overall
charm
and
allure
of
our
stay.
In
conclusion,
our
time
at
Peonia,
guided
by
the
exceptional
Stefania,
was
an
unforgettable
experience.
The
combination
of
a
welcoming
host,
an
ideal
location,
and
a
well-maintained,
comfortable
room
ensured
that
our
visit
to
Palermo
was
nothing
short
of
magical.
We
eagerly
anticipate
our
return
to
this
Sicilian
paradise.
