About this property

Historic house in the ancient city walls in the historic center of the Kalsa district

Elegant apartment with a suggestive furnished terrace overlooking the sea and the historic center of Palermo, inserted in the monumental context of the ancient fifteenth-century walls of the city, in the ancient Arab quarter of Kalsa, on the ancient promenade. The apartment enjoys an exceptional sea view, has a double bedroom, a bathroom with window and whirlpool tub, a living room with an equipped kitchen and a comfortable sofa bed, where you can stay and eat meals, a room with a only bed and small w. c., and above a splendid terrace. Attached to the apartment there is a small annex with a double bedroom and w. c. shower, independent from the apartment (for a total of 7 beds). Being inside the walls, the apartment enjoys a great tranquility and is located in an elegant and well-kept context. The apartment is equipped with every comfort: wifi system, TV, washing machine, dishwasher, oven, hairdryer, dishes and linens, and is furnished with care and elegance, and has been recently restored. The area is of great historical and monumental interest, surrounded by beautiful villas (villa by the sea, Villa Giulia, Botanical Garden, Villa Garibaldi), by museums (Palazzo Abatellis), by very important churches (Chiesa della Maggione, Chiesa della Gancia, Chiesa della Catena) ... ..), from buildings of historical interest such as the Crociferi, Lo Spasimo, Lo Steri (seat of the rectorate), the ancient markets of Vucciria and Ballarò and in addition it is very easy to walk to Piazza Pretoria, the Quattro Canti di Città and all the major attractions of the historic center such as the Teatro Massimo. The neighborhood is also at the center of the Palermo nightlife with bars, restaurants, typical restaurants and trendy clubs. In the neighborhood there are small shops. It is possible to walk to the central train and bus station and the Cala Marina. The city port and the entrance to the highway towards CT are a few Km ... We do not rent for parties, meetings, parties.

Well-equipped apartment in a great location
I enjoyed everything about this apartment - the location, the amenities, and especially the hostess. Igea was there to meet me and explain how to operate everything. The apartment is well equipped with full kitchen, books about Sicily, and items of local interest. There is a beautiful rooftop terrace with a great view of the Foro Italico, and it's a short walk to the historical center.

This is place to stay in Palermo!!!
Loved everything about staying here! From first contact with Igea to the minute we left, we enjoyed this property. Everything is well described in listing. Igea met us at apartment when we arrived to show us everything and had map to show us the city. She was happy to answer our questions and assist us during our stay. The apartment was very clean. Kitchen was fully equipped. We loved the rooftop terrace! Enjoyed sitting up there with glass of wine after a long day of touring.

Great place to stay for 3 people
unfortunately, we were 2 couples so the 2nd couple had to stay in the "annex". contrary to the listing, the annex is not attached to the apartment. it is in the same building but on a different level, and is much like a hostel room with a private bathroom and a window...thats it. the street noise with cars and sirens are heard til 2am. and no wifi.the extra charge for the annex is much too much $$$. the main apartment has 1 bedroom and a 2nd single bed in a private area on the way up to the terrace. the terrace does not have an umbrella so at times it is hard to find shade but regardless it is very private and gorgeous. so if you are just 3 people this is a fantastic find. great location and the price cant be beat. the host, igea is 6 on 5. could not ask for anyone more caring and responsive. ps. put in "la mura" for exact location of apartment as it is right above, foro italico umberto 1 was too vague for our airport shuttle. also, an extra set of keys would be nice. 1 set for the main apartment is not enough. also, to turn on the hot water for the shower you had to turn on the hot water valve on the bidet to activate the hot water tank. peculiar but fine once you know.

Comfortable flat with stunning rooftop terrace.
This place has it all—very comfortable with all amenities, a great roof garden where you can eat or just relax while gazing out at the harbor, a responsive and energetic host, and a superb location in the arty Khalsa district. We hope to stay there again.

Host profile image
I love traveling. I'm in love with the historical center of my city .
The lush terrace of the house is a hobby!

Why they chose this property

The house is in the historic downtown area oldest folk and charming city . And ' restored with care, taste and elegance and has every convenience and requires constant maintenance and accurate because very old and the sea . The terrace is wonderful is often I host my friends !

What makes this property unique

The house is a historic, inside the walls and therefore can not have the characteristics of a modern apartment, but the charm of the old houses:. High ceilings with vaulted ceilings, thick stone walls 1 mt, with large windows, shutters, overlooking the sea, the historic center and a beautiful indoor atrium tranquil and lush. It 'was recently renovated with quality materials, from glass mosaic in bathrooms, floors, kitchen handmade wooden furniture, air conditioners, and has all modern amenities (hot tub, wi-fi system ....). Precisely for this reason it is not accessible to people with mobility problems or small children. It is in addition very close to the marina of Cala where you can moor, train station and bus station, the major historical sites, the most beautiful villas and churches and sea not suitable for bathing. Usually at the request and accompanied me in my car and no extra guests from the main station (easily accessible from the airport) to the house.
