I am Italian but lived in England for15 years and we have moved back with my girls to Palermo in 2020. We have hosted workaway and aupairs for over 15 years in the past and still in touch with most of them and we love to host.
  
  We live in a beutiful apartment in the very heart of the biggest city in Sicily, Palermo. It is a truly exciting and beautiful place and you will have hundreds of bar, restaurants and gelaterie on your doorsteps. You can walk anywhere from the apartment. I can share photos of the apartment which used to be rented on a rental platform. You get your own single room and all meals.
