Inspired by the red clay soil and citrus groves found across the island and the glistening seas surrounding it, this eye-catching apartment certainly sparked our interest with its bold colour scheme and elegant furnishings. Not only does it dazzle inside, but the home also benefits from a good amount of outdoor space. With a private balcony and courtyard, you're covered for every eventuality, from morning coffee to late-night dinners and everything in between. From your base in Palermo's historic centre, you're perfectly placed to discover everything this diverse cultural and culinary melting pot has to offer. Just 250m from the city's 12th-century cathedral, the surrounding streets are the perfect place to sit back and people-watch with a zingy granita in hand. Looking for a bit of high culture? You'll find several museums and historic palazzos within a short walk. For a complete change of scenery, a short drive/bus ride out of the city will see you arrive at the iconic Monte Pellegrino, 13.5km away. If you can summon the energy to scale it, you'll be rewarded with a jaw-dropping view back over the city rooftops and across the bay. We'd suggest treating yourself to a post-hike dip down at Mondello Beach before spending the evening scoping out local dining hotspots back in the city.
