Desirè Charming House Boat

If you want special accomodation, this is it!

Pros: We spent a wonderful long weekend holiday in Palermo, and wanted to find special accomodation - it was the greatest choice! The hosts were great, the place is fantastic: very close to the sights you want to see, still very quiet if you want some peaceful moments. The boat is really nice, the bedroom is very cosy, and you can relax on the terrace. Highly recommended!

Cons: The WiFi works only on the deck, not in the rooms below, but it is no biggy.

Thank you so much, we were absolutely delighted!

Pros: We stayed here with my mom in December. The place where the yacht is located is insanely beautiful. The house boat is very comfortable for staying, with everything you need. A special thanks to the yacht owner, Martina, for her attention, help, and such a warm welcome❤️ We would be happy to come back here again!

Unique and special place to stay with amazing hosts

Pros: The boat was one of the highlights of our trip- comfortable, convenient and a real talking point - the marina location was perfect- easy stroll into town and close to everything we wanted to see. As a family of 4 it was a good size and the outside space was a real bonus. The hosts were so kind and helpful and gave us lots of tips for our stay- it really felt that we had friends on hand- thank you Martina and Diego for a wonderful stay we would love to come back!

Family Overnight Stay on Cosy, Well-Equipped Boat

Pros: Absolutely incredible and cosy boat, moored in a safe, convenient location. The communication with Martina was excellent, before, during and after our stay, with plenty of recommendations for the local area.

Pros: It was the first experience of living on a boat, and it's definitely not the last. The ball's farms are very attentive to us and surrounded us with care. The boat is comfortable and very clean. Lovely bed . wonderful location .Thank you

The hosts are very welcoming and great people!

Pros: Cosy boat in a great location with beautiful sunrises and sunsets

The top place to stay in Palermo!

Pros: 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!

Cons: I have nothing negative to add.

Lovely place, very frendly host. City was very nice with a lot of great food. Definitely something I would advise for ot

Pros: Not your usual place probably, definitely something I loved
