About this condo rental

Located in Palermo, this attractive condo for $219 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Very bright penthouse located in via Maqueda, in the heart of the historic center, a short distance from the most important architectural and cultural treasures of the city. The Teatro Massimo, stupendous Art Nouveau masterpiece, the Cathedral, pearl of Arab-Norman architecture in Sicily, and then San Giovanni degli Eremiti, Piazza Pretoria, La Martorana, Palazzo dei Normanni, the Archbishop's Museum, Porta Nuova, Piazza Marina: they are just some of the destinations can be reached in a few minutes of pleasant walking. Although it is favorably placed in a central context, near the famous popular market of Ballarò, via Roma and via Ruggiero VII, very popular shopping destinations in the city, the apartment benefits from the happy positioning on the top floor of a noble palace which makes it similar to a silent and relaxing oasis in which to pleasantly immerse yourself. Inside, in fact, you cannot help but appreciate the bright and comfortable rooms, the soft movement of the high wooden ceilings, the majolica specially made by master Seminara, the flowered terrace overlooking Via Maqueda and the balconies with splendid panoramic views of the city with its colorful roofs and the beautiful domes of its churches. The apartment was renovated at the same time as the entire building in 2020 and has been furnished with loving care to ensure the most pleasant and comfortable stay possible. Inside it consists of two beautiful air-conditioned bedrooms, well furnished with large beds and orthopedic mattresses. From a spacious and comfortable double living room with a large 49 inch television, overlooking the beautiful flowered terrace, attractive and well equipped with comfortable armchairs where you can rest and a table and chairs for eating outdoors. From a modern and independent kitchen with every accessory necessary for cooking, and from a bright and comfortable bathroom with window. A walk to the Ballaro' market, which is located just one hundred meters away from the apartment, is an enchanting event not to be missed: you will discover an itinerary of high artistic and cultural value, which leads from the Cathedral to the Teatro Massimo , flanking stalls of colorful and lively food products. Considered among the most authentic markets in the city in terms of gastronomic offer and product quality. Pleasant mix of voices, smells and colours, a corner of the city where time seems to have stopped. The area in which the apartment is located is well equipped with public transport services and is located a short distance from the bus stop coming from the airport, from the shuttles that carry out tourist tours of the most beautiful architectural attractions of the historic center and from the bus stop that takes you to the beautiful beach of Mondello. In the surrounding area there are numerous clothing and footwear shops, restaurants, pizzerias, trattorias, kiosks, wine bars, ice cream bars and pastry shops where you can taste the irresistible delicacies and extraordinary products of the renowned Sicilian Culinary Art, appreciated throughout the world for its its goodness and the richness of its flavours.

The apartment is beautiful and spacious, as described. It is very close to the train station on the via Maqueda. Its location means that there is quite a bit of street noise. I specifically asked Massimo about this, and was assured that it wouldn't be a problem, as the bedrooms are at the back of the apartment. Both the person with whom I shared the apartment and I, however found that there was just as much street noise in the bedrooms as in the living room at the front of the apartment. We both had to sleep with the windows closed and with ear plugs. In addition, some kind of electrical unit sits on the side of the building right beside the living room wall; we could hear the hum of that machine all day and night. Despite these drawbacks, we did like the apartment which is spacious and centrally located. I just wish I had been told that in fact noise is an issue when I specifically inquired about it.

This apartment is perfectly located in the middle of the old city, within a few minutes of all the major historical attractions. Massimo was an excellent host, it is well worth getting him to meet you as the main door to the building is not easy to find first time. The 99 steps to the flat door can be tiring, but they help to work off the great food that is all around. The whole apartment was spotlessly clean and well equipped. My only slight negative comment is that the air conditioning is available at an extra cost, which is not mentioned in the listing. We didn't need it but some people would want to know this before.

Amazing property

This condo is a special place in Palermo. Everything was just prefect, we were just 2 but more than enough space for 4 people. Just like the people before wrote a perfect patio to sit a sip some extremely good wine after a day of walking around. The location is easy walking to all the tourist spots. Massimilano was a great host and couldn’t do enough for us his suggestions for restaurants were tremendous. I would highly recommended this property 5 stars.
