Contrasting with its historic surroundings, this modern apartment, just footsteps from the Zisa district, is an excellent landing pad from which to explore Palermo and beyond. The interiors are sophisticated yet streamlined and there’s a creative use of colour in each room. Wake up with a light breakfast in the bold kitchen before planning your itinerary from the comfort of the contemporary sofa. Step outside of your building, and you’ll find the lavish Villa Malfitano right on your doorstep. If you fancy stretching your legs, wander over to Palermo Port or head south to the Royal Palace. When you’ve worked up an appetite for some proper Sicilian grub, focus your fork on the traditional, no-frills cafes that cluster around Ballarò Market. Should you want to take a break from the heat, swap the city for the coast and drive to the postcard-perfect Mondello Beach. Retreat home in the early evening with a bottle of Marsala wine and toast to another idyllic day on Italy's largest island.
