Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re looking for a fuss-free bolthole in Balestrate, this apartment fits the bill perfectly. Set in the heart of town, you’re just a short stroll from the marina, sandy beaches, and cultural highlights like the Oratorio Sant'Anna. When you’re not out exploring, the apartment provides a cosy retreat with everything you need for a comfortable stay. It may be compact, but with so much right on your doorstep, we doubt you’ll be spending much time indoors. At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area – a small trade-off for such a central location.

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.
