Watch your favourite film from the private rooftop cinema, enjoy a candlelit dinner party or simply take in the spectacular views day or night over Palazzo dei Normanni and the Palermo skyline from this incredible home. We really didn't want to leave this enchanting place. Inside has been fully and lovingly renovated by your hosts Giulia and Alfredo, who have created a relaxed yet luxurious style. We love the characterful beams, the quirky animal and bird prints, as well as the vistas from the master bedroom and the chic bathrooms. If you want to explore what you can see from this home, then Palazzo dei Normanni, which dates back to the 9th-century, is a twenty-second stroll away. The statue of the Spanish king Philip V is a three-minute walk, while Cattedrale di Palermo is four minutes on foot. Or if you fancy a night at the opera, Teatro Massimo is under a fifteen-minute amble. This home is perfect for a group of friends or family who want a truly special abode in the centre of this breathtaking city.
