About this apartment rental

This extremely comfortable, light and spacious apartment is fantastically located for sightseeing, culture, (Palermo was nominated "Italian Capital of Culture 2018"), markets and nightlife - everything is a short stroll away!

The apartment is on two floors: on the lower level is a double bedroom with balcony and en suite, a large living room with balcony, sofas, TV, table. A circular staircase takes you to the upper floor where there is the second double bedroom, bathroom, fully equipped kitchen and adjacent terrace. The apartment is on the second floor, with lift.

Both bedrooms are totally private, airy, and have air conditioning and central heating. The bedroom on the upper level can be either double or twin, (please specify on booking if you require twin beds). Both have plenty of wardrobe space.

The living room is a calm and comfortable place to return to after a day spent in the bustling city of Palermo: cool in the summer with its balcony and ceiling fan and cosy in the winter with its discreet lighting, heating and large sofas. Apart from the television, there is a selection of dvds for you to watch. There is also a dining table which can be used as a convenient laptop or working area - great for longer stays. Wi-fi is provided.


The kitchen, with dining area, has everything you need to prepare and enjoy delicious meals from the amazing variety of local produce available in the nearby food market, which is just a 2 minute walk away. There is also a dishwasher and washing machine.

The kitchen gives onto the lovely terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, with its amazing view of the stunning majolica dome of the Chiesa del Carmine Maggiore, (do not miss the end of July procession).

Please note that the apartment is unsuitable for toddlers and young children due to the potential danger of the staircase and landing. Older children are welcome.

This church is just one of the many Baroque wonders of the city. Palermo is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Arab-Norman itinerary.

The apartment is in the Albergheria area, within the old city walls. Most of the UNESCO sites are located in Albergheria as it is the oldest neighbourhood in Palermo and is where the Phoenicians founded the city. Once containing the Jewish quarter, Albergheria today is still a vibrant, multicultural district and boasts the famous Ballarò food market, founded during the Arab era and very much a real working market with its babble of voices and crowded with stalls selling local produce. My guests' reviews paint a full picture of this characteristic neighbourhood, so please read them!

The recently granted UNESCO Heritage Arab-Norman route connects Palermo with Cefalù and Monreale, (both easily reached from Palermo). Palermo also offers a programme of world-class opera performances at the city's Teatro Massimo.

Check in time in from 3 pm - 8pm, unless otherwise arranged BEFORE booking.

Palermo city tax is €4.00 per person per day up to 4 days, which I will collect in cash on arrival. Children up to 12 years old are exempt.

Please note that Wi-fi is adequate for normal holiday use, but not sufficiently stable for home working.

The apartment was beautiful and close to everything we wanted to see. It was a wonderful retreat after spending the day and evening out. It was a short walk to the train station allowing us to get to Cefalu for a day trip.Our host Yvonne was amazing as well. She created a book for the house full of information and suggestions. She was very helpful with our questions ahead of our arrival and during our stay.

Location near all we wanted to see, although you get neighborhood sounds and activity. (We love that atmosphere.) Yvonne gave great recommendations.

This duplex flat is a delight, beautifully fitted out and thoughtfully provided with the basic provisions. Very easy access to the daily market and many of the historic buildings are within 15 minutes walk. A lovely view of the church from the terrace.The perfect base for a weeks exploration of the city centre.,

We were very happy in this beautifully appointed, immaculately kept apartment, whose spaciousness will be particularly welcome to the long-term visitor. Its thoughtfully (and fully) equipped kitchen, with a roof terrace on which you can dine in full view of the tiled dome of the Carmine, will permit you to make full use of the bustling market outside your front door. Palermo is a city of intensely felt contrasts, the apartment will be a place of rest and calm in it. And the hostess will always be available for advice and help with a perfect combination of promptness, efficiency and warmth.
