Explore the pretty city of Palermo from this central apartment, based just a stone's throw from the Church of Saint Domenico. The lounge features a lovely little balcony with seating, and each of the two bedrooms also has a Juliet balcony, so you can swing the doors wide open and let the fresh air in, and enjoy views of your lush and leafy surroundings. The home is fairly basic in terms of its design, but provides you with everything you need for a home-from-home stay, and makes a cosy and comfy place to return to after long days spent adventuring in the city.

Nestled in the heart of Palermo’s historic centre, this elegant apartment is an ideal base for those keen to drop off their bags and head out to explore. Perfect for a family or a group of friends, it’s worth noting that at full occupancy, two people will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room. Still, it’s a small price to pay for the location. Step outside and you’ll find the city just waiting to be explored – dine out on authentic Sicilian cuisine, peruse the boutiques, or breathe in the fresh sea air at Palermo Port or one of the many beaches – there’s something for everyone here.

Paid Parking On Street

Set amid the historical attractions of Palermo's historic centre, this apartment is a great choice for a solo traveller or couple ticking off the major sights. At capacity, two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living area – though at the expense of the communal seating, so we think the home is best suited for a maximum of two. Meanwhile, the terrace serves as a lovely spot for enjoying sundowners after a busy day of sightseeing. It's also worth noting that some street noise should be expected, due to the central location. 

Ode to Delia

Enjoy a romantic getaway to the city of Palermo while staying in this uniquely decorated apartment. The historic medieval building has been upgraded to include contemporary art and modern furniture, while still retaining the charm of the past with the beautiful stone feature walls throughout the suite. The rustic decor is accompanied by an attractive lit-up glass floor that gives you a great view below, giving you a peek at even more of that lovely medieval style. 

Snuggle up with your loved one on the sofa as you watch a movie on the TV, or get cosy under a blanket while you read a brand new book that you picked up while exploring the surrounding city. Tuck into a homecooked meal together at the dining table by the window, followed by sipping on a freshly brewed coffee in the courtyard – there are some lovely plants out there.

Head out to the city to browse a plethora of shops, including local hidden gems. Try out food that you've never eaten before at the many eateries sprinkled throughout Palermo with cuisine from all around the world. As you'll be in Italy, you won't find it hard to uncover a bar that sells sumptuous bottles of finely aged wine, sourced from an authentic Italian vineyard. 

The Art Museum

With its ornate frescoes, historic roots and rustic style, this home delivers a unique stay in the heart of Palermo. Set within a 16th-century palazzo, the owners have retained the original character while delivering a contemporary sanctuary. The open-plan layout lends itself perfectly to social gatherings, while the bedrooms make it easy to switch off and unwind. It’s worth noting there is no private parking here, but you will find everything you could need within easy reach. Your host is also on hand to help organise guided tours and airport transfers.

The vaulted ceilings and exposed brickwork pair perfectly with a whole host of modern amenities here, guaranteeing guests a comfortable stay. But the real cherry on the cake? The outdoor space. A rare find in the city, it’s the perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing – with the Jacuzzi taking centre stage, naturally. 

Peace in Palermo

Library of Books

Located in the historic centre of Palermo, this apartment is perfect for a family or two couples looking to experience authentic Sicilian culture in the city. Positioned on the third floor of an 18th century building, this home has wonderful traditional features and two balconies overlooking Palermo. From here you can see the stretch of sea in front of the building that corresponds to the ancient port of the city, La Cala – great for evening drinks and delicious cuisine. You won’t be short of attractions around this home – a brisk walk will take you to the historic landmarks of Palermo Cathedral, Church of the Gesu and Teatro Massimo. 

The Bookkeeper's Retreat

Peering out over the harbour, this apartment places you in the heart of beautiful Palermo. Inside, the sleek and contemporary touches really caught our eye, as well as the sociable chef's kitchen ideal for preparing lunches to be enjoyed out on the private terrace – equipped with comfy chairs and an outdoor dining area, it's a lovely spot for enjoying the warm Sicilian sunshine. You will have to climb about 76 steps to reach this apartment and there's a floating staircase without a railing, which won't suit everyone. When you're ready to explore, historical landmarks such as the Cathedral of Palermo are a short walk away, as well as plenty of traditional restaurants and wine bars.

Recently renovated but with plenty of its original style, you might not be surprised when we tell you this artist-designed home is making a name for itself – it even recently appeared in the pages of Marie Claire. There's so much to love here – the large rooms with high ceilings create a sense of grandeur, while the book-adorned walls speak for themselves. If you love the interior as much as we do, book a private chef with the host to make the most of your stay. Outside won't disappoint, though – the home's location in the well-heeled Politeama-Libertà area means you'll find great eateries and boutiques nearby.

Of a Bookish Nature

Nestled in the centre of Palermo, a short walk from the Regional Archeological Museum Antonio Salinas and Teatro Massimo, you’d be forgiven for thinking this pad was heaven-sent. From here, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy a glass or two of Italian wine on Piazza San Domenico, or why not share a bottle of something local in your open-plan living area? While you may have to contend with some street noise, this central and inviting spot is primed for sightseeing, with La Cala Port and authentic eateries all within easy reach.

Based at the foot of the Monte Pellegrino and boasting breathtaking views over the sparkling Mediterranean sea, this spectacular apartment showcases everything great about Sicily. The Addaura neighbourhood on your doorstep is one of the greenest spaces in the city, with plenty of heart-pumping hikes on offer nearby.

A stone's throw from the rocky shoreline, it's perfect for a refreshing dip. However, you'll want to head a couple of kilometres north to Mondello Beach for an inviting stretch of golden sand to lay your towel out. The beach is backed by plenty of lively bars and welcoming restaurants – perfect for long lunches out of the midday sun.

For a spot of culture, head into the historic centre of Palermo, twenty-five minutes away. Here, you'll witness a cultural melting pot that's been bubbling away for centuries, creating a city that's quite unlike any other. Sumptuous street food, countless beautiful churches and plenty of piazzas for people-watching – the city is a real feast for the senses.

Homes are like people – some have the power to charm you instantly. This gorgeous and cosy apartment situated in a quiet coastal suburb of Palermo is certainly one such home. With breathtaking views over the Addaura Gulf and a lovingly decorated interior, this is an ideal base for a romantic getaway or as a holiday home for a small family. 

Arrive to be welcomed by a bright and inviting open-plan living room, with a comfy sofa from which you can choose to either watch TV or gaze at the sea views outside – the choice is never easy! Step out onto the large balcony and allow yourself to be wowed by the vistas – this is the place to be at sunset, with some delicious wine and in great company. Nothing beats a candlelight supper under the stars with the sound of waves crashing in the distance. 

You can easily put together lovely meals in the charming little kitchen, and there is also an indoor dining table in case a chillier evening catches you by surprise. We love all the unique pieces the host chose for this home – it’s clear that a lot of heart went into decorating and maintaining this place, and the warm ambience will make you feel instantly relaxed and comfortable. 

Wake up well-rested in the plush bedroom and enjoy the breakfast provided by your host as you welcome a new day out on the terrace. You can also plan your exploring here – a short drive will take you right into the heart of Palermo, where you can wander down the winding streets, or you may also opt for an idyllic beach day, with the Addaura seafront a five-minute walk away.

Live your Meditteranean fantasy with a stay in this lovely Sicilian home. Whether you're travelling with family or friends, this modern and sleek villa has a lot to offer. We especially love the choice of two outside areas here – both adorned with greenery to help immerse you in your own mini Meditteranean sanctuaries. Indulge in a bottle of malvasia wine while working through a book, or relax on the deck chairs with an aperol spritz in hand – either way, you'll have the best time soaking up the sun in these areas. When the light fades and you head inside, look forward to lighting the fire and watching the embers glow while you wind down ready for bed.

Being located on the edge of Mondello in the north of Sicily, you'll have many options for activities and sights within close proximity. The historic city of Palermo is a must-visit, and it's only a twenty-two-minute drive. As the capital of Sicily, this city is oozing with culture, amazing food and marvelous architecture. When the beach is calling, you'll be glad to know you can have your feet on the sand within no time at all. Mondello Beach is only a ten-minute walk. Take a picnic to the beach and return home later in the afternoon ready for cocktail hour in the villa's back courtyard.

Set into a dramatic cliffside on the Sicilian coast, this modern-style villa is just moments from the sea. A terraced garden stretches before the home, with a shimmering swimming pool inviting you for a dip at the end.

Slide open the glass double doors to blend the boundary between the terrace and living room, letting the sea breeze circulate. In here, a corner brick fireplace keeps things feeling traditional, along with the mosaic tiles in the big kitchen. On the ground floor, there’s a separate studio-style apartment for those that prefer a little more privacy, decked out in sunshine yellow that sings of holidays on the coast.

You’re out in the peace and quiet of the coastal countryside here, but in just over half an hour you can reach Sicily’s buzzing capital by car. Explore Palermo’s street eats, lively bars and history spanning from 5th-century Phoenicians to glorious baroque opera houses.
