Step back in time at this grand Sicilian palazzo. Filled with historic artefacts, antique furnishings and artworks, alongside high vaulted ceilings, glass chandeliers and a library of books, it feels more like a living museum than a rental home – it's no surprise it was featured by World of Interiors. Here, days are spent drifting from one elegant room to another, feasting in the decadent dining room or enjoying afternoon tea or cocktails on the leafy terrace. Step outside and you're moments from the lively marina, with cafes, bars and local trattorias right on your doorstep.

About Palermo

Sicily's capital Palermo is a heady mix of ancient cultures with its Roman, Norman, Arab and Phoenician heritage, which has infused into its incredible blend of architecture and cuisine.
