Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

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.

  • No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
  • Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.

Home truths

    You can access this apartment using the building lift, making it suitable for those with limited mobility

    Although there is paid parking available on the premises, driving in Palermo can be very tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot

    There's a dedicated workspace here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay

    The entrance to this home is shared with the building's other residents
