Walking up the marble staircase and into this elegant home feels instantly uplifting. It’s the kind of space that transports you to another era – one that is rich in the atmospheric beauty of Italian living. Located in Palazzo Lungarini and overlooking the streets of central Palermo, the owners have sensitively restored this home to honour its 17th century heritage. And once inside, you’ll find a heavenly balance of traditional features with contemporary comforts. So whether you’re sitting at the vintage writing desk, admiring the artistic frescoes from the bedroom or relaxing in the bath, it’s easy to feel serenaded by the sweetness of this home. Follow the views outside and you’ll find yourself in the heart of the Kalsa neighbourhood – the oldest district of Palermo. From the majestic buildings and churches to the market stalls and gelaterias, the streets are brimming with authentic Italian charm. And for a refreshing dose of sea air, it’s just a ten-minute stroll to the Foro Italico seafront meadows and La Cala marina.
