This spectacular home is a real showstopper. It’s a beautiful and historic home right at the heart of Palermo’s old town, Kalsa. Historic churches and palazzos sit alongside lively markets in this charming neighbourhood – and tucked away from the hustle and bustle, you’ll find this hidden gem. On entering through the atrium you’ll be instantly charmed. Antique furniture and frescoes add to the elegance of the high ceilings and tiled floors. The living room is undoubtedly the heart of the home, looking out over the pretty garden. For such a central home, the outside space here is impressive – there’s a terrace for dining alfresco or sunbathing, as well as the garden and pool. In the mornings, you’ll wake up to dappled sunlight on your pillow and want to head straight outside. Enjoy an early morning dip in the pool before taking a seat among the trees, where you can sip coffee and revel in the tranquillity of this lovely home. Later on, you might move up to the terrace to really soak up the sunshine, and in the evening you might like to dine under the stars. The villa is wonderfully located for exploring Palermo. It takes just six minutes to stroll to the iconic Fontana Pretoria, and eleven minutes to reach Porta Felice. There are countless piazzas for you to sit in with a glass of wine or a gelato, watching the world go by. This is the good life.

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. It really is a feast for the senses, from citrus and myrtle scented squares to vibrant markets, Renaissance palaces and Byzantine mosaics.
