The location of this apartment couldn’t be much better. It’s situated in La Kalsa, a historic, vibrant, and artistic quarter in the heart of Palermo. Palazzo Abatellis, Modern Art Gallery Sant'Anna and the Monastero di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria are just a few of the attractions a short stroll away. You’ll also find a wide range of cafes, restaurants and shops on your doorstep, too – save some energy for reaching this home, though, as there’s no lift here. Once inside this modern home, you can relax in the bright living room – this space also has a sofa bed, and while the kitchen is compact, it has everything you need for cooking some Sicilian cuisine.

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.

Home truths

  • At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.

  • There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb 50 steps to reach the second-floor entrance of the home.

  • The only bathroom is en-suite, so at full capacity, privacy will be lacking.

  • If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.

  • The courtyard here is shared.

  • Parking in Palermo can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to walking to amenities or using public transport where possible. Many attractions are within walking distance, and there's a bus stop nearby.
