About this property

Porta Felice Apt - Palazzo Amoroso Breathtaking view

PortaFelice is a gorgeous and bright penthouse on a prestigious contemporary architecture building that rises in one of the most beautiful squares of Palermo old town.
The apartment enjoys a unique view of the sea and a huge terrace for the exclusive use of guests.

Dear guests, please check the apartment rules before booking.

From the huge terrace you will enjoy an amazing breathtaking view!
The building was built in the late 60s and is the result of collaboration between engineer Franco Amoroso and the prestigious firm of architects BBPR, which consists of the master of Italian Rationalism Gian Luigi Banfi Lodovico Barbiano di Belgiojoso Enrico Peressutti ed Ernesto Nathan Rogers.
This building is considered by experts one of the most important example of contemporary architecture in Palermo old town and is highly appreciated as expression of Brutalism, an architectural style which emerged during the 1950s in the United Kingdom, among the reconstruction projects of the post-war era.
In fact, the building rises from the ashes of a pre-existing Baroque palace destroyed by the bombings of the Second World War and represents a rare example of stitching between ancient city and modern architecture. In this regard, noteworthy is the ancient portal wisely preserved on the side on Via della Regia Zecca.

The apartment is fully furnished with fine furniture and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The main rooms overlook the terrace surrounding the apartment, and from this you can access the wonderful sun terrace on the roof of the building for the exclusive use of guests. Its position allows a unique breathtaking view of Porta Felice, the suggestive sea horse fountain, the seafront (foro italico) and the entire bay of the city.

Porta Felice stay
The location of Giovanni’s apartment was perfect with a beautiful view of the port and of the surrounding city of Palermo especially from the rooftop area attached. The apartment was super with everything you need to enjoy your stay in the wonderful city of Palermo. Giovanni’s mother greeted us and took us up to the apartment in the elevator. She showed us everything and even welcomed us with an assortment of goodies: Food, wine and water to start our stay! So nice!! We gave the main bedroom which has a fab view of the port to our friends (we are taking turns choosing). The apartment was built using quality materials and the architect was Giovanni’s grandfather! A short walk to wonderful restaurants and cafes and the Port. The only downsides were a leaking shower in the main. Our ensuite was fine but watch the direction of the shower spray. Some road noise and construction noise but it did not take away our pleasure staying there. Hopefully we will return one day.

Wish I could stay longer!
This apt is huge! The outside wrap around terrace leads you to a large rooftop terrace all your own! Giovanni is wonderful and provided us with a tour of the apt and upon entering we found wine, beer and snacks. The location is perfect! Wish we had booked it for much longer!

Perfect experience
Giovanni and Marina are premier hosts, the apartment was super organized and equipped. Location couldn’t have been better right on edge of Old Town and on the Sea. Views were amazing and walking distance to dozens of great restaurants. Requests and responses were fast and professional. We have done many VRBO stays and strongly recommend Porta Felice!

This is the perfect place to stay in Palermo. The view from the terrace is unparalleled, the apartment is spacious, and well located to everything. The kitchen was one of the best stocked I've ever experienced in a short-term rental. Our host supplied complementary coffee, tea, crackers, wine, and generous amounts of bottled water. Our host was very communicative and responsive, arranged airport transfers for us, and was most gracious. If you are planning a visit to Palermo, the Porto Felice apartment and host cannot be beat.
