La Terrazza sui Normanni
The Terrace on Norman wants to be your home in Palermo, offering hospitality, information and tools to enable you to know and experience a complex city like Palermo in view of a responsible and sustainable tourism.
La Terrazza sui Normanni is the first small step toward realizing a great dream: to share Palermo with others the way I've come to know it. What I'd like to do is offer a city that's more than just monuments and souvenirs, but also emotions, beauty, resilience, sounds, flavors, smells, and colors.
Why
Because after years of conflict with this mistreated city, I've definitively and hopelessly fallen in love with it; I owe much of this to the many friends throughout Italy and abroad whom I've had the pleasure of accompanying through its streets, who have given me the enormous gift of showing it through their eyes, allowing me to glimpse and appreciate so many facets that, incredibly, I'd never noticed while living there.
How
1) La Terrazza sui Normanni offers all its guests three classic itineraries (in brochure form) that will allow you to explore the most famous monuments and markets of the historic center while traveling exclusively on foot; plus the "unmissables outside the walls" itinerary; the "for the little ones" itinerary; The food itinerary, including "where to eat what"; the "nighttime" itinerary to enjoy a Palermo that lives on the streets even at night; the "hidden treasures" itinerary for the most discerning visitors; the "pride against the mafia" itinerary; and finally, because we don't want to hide anything, the "what we don't like" itinerary. You'll also find a collection of factsheets with descriptions and interesting facts about all the places mentioned in the brochures, as well as a map of green and legal Palermo.
2) At Terrazza sui Normanni, you'll find a small collection of my favorite books about Sicily and Palermo; my guests are invited to browse them and respect them;
3) At Terrazza sui Normanni, you'll find Wi-Fi and a small stereo system, but there is no television; I've eliminated this item from my home and my routine for over 10 years, and I also believe that while on vacation in a city like Palermo, it's almost sacrilegious to waste time in front of the TV. Guests are instead invited to relax on the apartment's terrace with a good book and the splendid view of the world's oldest parliament. Board games, coloring books, and cards are also available for the little ones.
4) La Terrazza sui Normanni aims to be "beautiful," so you'll find works by young local artists—no big names, just friends I want to introduce you to so you can get to know them and share them with others.
5) La Terrazza sui Normanni is equipped with heating and air conditioning for the summer months, but in the interests of environmental sustainability, guests are encouraged to use them sparingly.
6) You will also be provided with additional information before your arrival about events in the city, ways to get to places of interest further from the center, and how to rent municipal bicycles or scooters, among other things.
Subsequently, the accommodation could request a deposit.

We were not expecting a whole comfortable apartment to ourselves and it was all the more pleasant when we arrived. Giovanna was very welcoming and made us very comfortable.
Also the apartment was so well placed for visiting the old town......no car needed and the great 'free bus ' took us wherever we wanted to go.
It has been noticed: Energy saving lights, Car-free accessibility.
Thanks a lot Robert, has been a pleasure for me! :)
