A few meters from the beautiful long-sea, there is my cozy apartment and furnished with antiques, quiet but at the same time in the heart of Palermo. A green terrace and quiet will give you the opportunity to have a breakfast in the morning and a romantic dinner in the evening! You have available books and maps. And above all you will have my total availability.

The apartment does not have central heating.

The apartment is equipped with double thermal glazing, air conditioning (hot/cold) in the double bedroom, gas stove in the other rooms and a small fan heater for the bathroom.
It is strictly forbidden to use the small fan heater for other rooms (unfortunately some guests have kept it on for hours and hours, which is absolutely useless and dangerous, because it mainly overheats, also causing considerable economic damage), for this reason we will note the shots of the electricity meter (present in the apartment) upon your arrival. I am sure of your cooperation and thank you for your understanding :)

The apartment, allocated in the ancient Palazzo Torremuzza (1750), furnished and equipped according to modern methods of the holiday home, awaits you throughout the year. It can comfortably accommodate from one to four persons. E 'consists of a double bedroom (with air conditioning) and a balcony on the walls of Santa Teresa to the Kalsa (1600); a large living room furnished with antique furniture which can accommodate two people in two single beds (whit fan). I can accommodate a 5th person offering a folding bed I also offer a cot for children. A spacious masonry kitchen equipped with all small household appliances, coffee, sugar, oil, salt and spices, and overlooking a delightful terrace where you can dine and dine in a romantic green and quiet setting!
Large bathroom with shower (entirely renewed in November 2023). Washing machine available
Guests will be provided with pure cotton bed linen and towels. For longer stays a change of linen will be provided. Armored entrance door.

Guests have access to the entire apartment.
It is not allowed to accommodate other people besides those who make use of the reservation.

In the apartment is strictly forbidden to smoke, smoking is allowed on the terrace.

Not suitable for disabled people.

Guests will only be given a set of keys.

Tourist tax of €2.00 per person for the first 4 days, excluding children under 12 years of age.

Parking is free in Piazza Kalsa, the only access point (from the Lungo mare Foro Italico) without cameras. Park your car safely and reach the apartment in 2 minutes.

For those wishing to park their car in a private garage, a few steps from the apartment, there is the Garage Magione. You can check rates and more on their website.

From this summer Palermo also offers electric scooters which are located throughout the city. Simply download the app and access the service with your smartphone. I will be happy to give you all the necessary information.
Electric scooter rental, App: Helbiz, Lime, Bit Mobility.

The Central Station is 10 minutes from the apartment, if you have time take a train (departs every 30 minutes, cost around 5 euros) and in 40 minutes you will arrive in the historic center of Cefalù. Beautiful medieval village with a magnificent beach!

Reaching Piazza Indipendenza (Royal Palace and Palatine Chapel) on foot with a beautiful walk, you can take the bus that takes you to Monreale, a charming village with its spectacular Cathedral from 1180 and its superb Byzantine mosaics.

To reach the beautiful beach of Mondello (12km from the historic center) take bus 101 in Via Roma and then bus 806 in Via Libertà.

Within a few hundred metres you can enjoy the identity of the city, the people and the bi-millenial culture of Palermo. A delightful home allows you to immerse yourself in a sea of light, flavours, monuments, churches, and the warmth, voices, and sounds that you will never forget.
The apartment, in the ancient Palazzo Torremuzza, easily sleeping four and furnished according to the modern standards of a vacation home, is available all round year in the historical centre of Palermo, in via Savona alla Kalsa (from the Arabic “al Khalisa” meaning the pure, the chosen one), the location is close to important historical, cultural, and architectural sights: Palazzo Steri, the Abatellis Museum, the Spasimo, Oratorio dei Bianchi, Piazza Marina, Mura delle Cattive, Piazza Magione, Via Alloro, the Botanical Gardens, Villa Giulia, the Gancia Church, Oratorio San Lorenzo, Foro Italico, Porta dei Greci, the Puppet Museum, Porta Felice, the Catena Church, and the Vucciria Market.

Appartement dans le centre de palerme

Francesca est une hote très accueillante qui nous a proposé de venir nous chercher à l'aeroport. Appartement très spacieux avec beaucoup de charme et une décoration très agréable (de vieux meubles d'époque, des livres d'art etc). Un peu plus couverts serait un plus. Appartement très bien situé, à 2 minutes du port. Très calme avec une terrasse très agréable pour y prendre le petit déjeuner ou le repas du soir. Francesca est adorable. Nous recommandons cet appartement :)

The perfect place to stay in Palermo

We spent 3 weeks in this incredible apartment and loved every minute of it. To start with, Francesca is incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful - going way beyond what we expected. She waited for us for two hours at the train station, when our train arrived late (and unfortunately due to MY phone problems, she did not get the messages I sent). Even after all that, and the late hour, she kindly spent a lot more time that night with us explaining the flat and the neighbourhood and outlining all the great places to visit, eat, shop in the Historic Centre and on day trips away. She then texted us regularly to check in that everything was ok, and see if we needed any help. She also went out of her way to help me figure out how to get a parcel that I had asked to be sent to the flat, enlisting one of the locals to speak to the mail carrier. She then arranged a driver, at a reasonable price, to take us to the bus station with all our luggage when we left. And of course, then there is the apartment! It is truly beautiful - spacious rooms with soaring ceilings and very cool furnishings and decor. The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked quite a lot - mostly because it was so perfect to eat out on the delightful terrace. There is nothing like sitting under the clear Sicilian blue sky for breakfast, and at night by candlelight (though there is electricity!) The location is also perfect - away from the main tourist area, but only a few minutes walk away. You are just 2 blocks from the waterfront promenade for lovely strolls, like Palermo families do. And the same distance from the amazing Botanical Garden. We walked everywhere - the best way to see this city. We never felt unsafe - and yes, we did wander through back lanes. - day and night! The locals are friendly - and many were incredibly kind to us. And as for noise - the apartment is incredibly quiet, because the doors and windows have great double glazing. We enjoyed the daily chatter of the locals in the streets when the balcony door was open - we felt like we were getting a taste of real Palermo life. We would definitely stay again if we return to Palermo and will be telling all our family & friends to grab it if it is available. Thank you Francesca - staying at your place made our time in Palermo perfect!

A Real Winner

Francesca is a real treasure and the apartment a real find. Staying in the historic district suited us perfectly—good restaurants and walking distance to many sights. The outside area was perfect for morning coffee and afternoon wine. Francesca provided lots of essentials in the apartment and went out of her way to get us help for our phones. This was one of our best VRBO rentals—a real memorable stay.

Top Marks for Francesca's Apartment

Top marks for Francesca's apartment in old Palermo. A gritty, genuine locality close to the seaside promenade, two street food restaurants, coffee and pastry stall and a fruit and veg shop. Other restaurants close by. An excellent base for accessing the old town - the location in Kelsa is about 15 minutes walk to the Quatre Canti. The first floor apartment is large with lovely high ceilings. It is well equipped and attractively furnished with interesting period furnishings, books, objects and art work. The courtyard has plants across all walls - a haven of greenery. Francesca can arrange a pick up and return to Palermo airport for a realistic fee. Overall a great base for the independent traveller. Better for two than four; there is only one bedroom.

Wonderful host, lovely apartment

Francesca was a wonderful host. It was great to have her pick us up a the airport and show us around the apartment at check in. She was so helpful when we had logistical questions during our stay. The apartment is on a lovely quiet little alley off a piazza, walking distance to most of the things we wanted to see. There are great street food options right there and easy access to the bus and the rest of Palermo. We loved our stay and would recommend to others. thank you!

Eine sehr schöne Wohnung in der Altstadt Palermos

Die Wohnung "Centro Storico" in der Altstadt Palermos ist sehr schön und individuell eingerichtet. Neben deren Geräumigkeit ist die an die Küche angrenzende Terrasse, die zum Frühstücken im Freien und zum Verweilen am Abend einlädt, ein großes Plus der Wohnung. Von der Wohnung sind alle Sehenswürdigkeiten der Altstadt Palermos sehr gut fußläufig zu erreichen. Francesca, die Vermieterin, ist sehr zuverlässig und stets liebenswürdig! Insofern ist die Wohnung für einen Palermo-Besuch sehr zu empfehlen!

Beautiful spacious apartment close to historic neighbourhoods

Francesca was very eager to make our stay comfortable. She offered us taxi service to and from the airport, which made our transition into Palermo much easier. The large apartment was beautifully decorated with vintage furniture, books and art. We loved having meals out on the terrace. It felt like home. My only concern was the quality of the futon mattress, it was dense and concaved in the center and I had difficulty sleeping well. The place was located on the fringe of Kalsa away from the noisy center but close enough to restaurants and tourist attractions., although, there were some older gentlemen who would be up at 8:00 am talking very loudly outside. You know, conversation Italian Style (yelling).

Die Wohnung ist unglaublich geräumig, die Terrasse sehr ruhig und bestens für gemütliche Abende geeignet. Francesca ist eine hilfsbereite und sehr freundliche Gastgeberin! Vielleicht ein kleiner Abstrich: das Bad ist ziemlich abgenutzt und wäre überholungsbedürftig, inklusive des müffeligen Geruchs.
