With arched ceilings, a wrought iron bed and vibrant furnishings, this apartment has a poetic charm that suits its historic surroundings. You’re within easy reach of the city’s major landmarks – the cathedral is just around the corner – and the train station’s nearby if you’re tempted by a day trip. But lingering here has its own appeal: sip espresso on the balcony and watch the world go by. It’s lively outside, but that’s part of Palermo's charm.
