Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you're seeking a home in the heart of Palermo with stunning views of the mountains and the city, this is the one. Located in a renovated historic building behind Piazza Magione, and with three terraces, you'll be spoiled for choice – step out onto the terrace and start in the morning with an espresso gazing out, listening to the falling water from the marble wall that includes the Arabian style typical of many historical structures from the Arab-Norman era. Over the roofs of mediaeval Palermo, you can even see all the way to the sea from the last terrace. The interior is now just as gorgeous, with a contemporary vibe and luxury furnishings, paintings, and artistic photographs for added character. Whilst the entrance leads to a wall bookcase, author photographs, exposed beams, and armchairs to relax in while reading a book and feeling the sunlight on you. The apartment is at an ideal location for visiting the main sights and enjoying gourmet or traditional dinners in local trattorias. The Cala, a site for spectacular hikes throughout the day and social activity in the evening, is also not to be missed. When you want to breathe in the sea air and hear... the crashing waves, travel to Mondello – a twenty-four-minute drive away, and relax on the sandy beach with clear blue waters. We're sure you'll enjoy the street food, fresh pasta, and late evenings in romantic piazzas, but if you truly want to learn more about Sicily's cuisine, produce, and palette, squeeze in a cooking class.

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.
