About this property

Dante's House, in the historic center of Palermo

  • This exclusive property, reserved just for you and your guests, is located in the heart of Palermo’s historic center. Palazzo Porcelli, a charming 18th-century noble residence that has been carefully restored and is full of character, features 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and a spacious living room, plus a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, coffee maker, kettle, and washing machine. The property also features two balconies with colorful flower boxes. The property is completely unique in design, furnished with class and taste, featuring terracotta floors and full-length period shutters. It also has a comfortable bathroom with a shower, and the home is equipped with air conditioning. Its elegance and sophistication make it ideal for small groups (4), couples, and families seeking an authentic getaway in this historic Sicilian city center. The property is located 50 meters from the famous Del Capo Market (Palermo’s most famous market), filled with stalls and small local shops; 200 meters away is the beautiful Palermo Cathedral; and just a short walk away are the famous Piazza Pretoria (Piazza della Vergogna), Quattro Canti, the renowned Via Maqueda, and the world-famous Teatro Massimo, where you can soak up the wonderful atmosphere with first-class restaurants dotted along this famous street. If you’re in the mood for a swim or a relaxing stroll along the beach, there’s the stunning Mondello Beach, located just a few kilometers (7 km) away, which you can reach by shuttle or simply by renting an electric bike. We offer a shuttle service with a driver who will pick you up at the airport and take you directly to the property. I can’t wait to welcome you here in beautiful Palermo.

    Dear guests, I’ll arrange to meet you and your party upon arrival to hand over the keys. I’ll give you a quick tour of the property. I’ll be available if you have any questions. You can contact me at any time during your stay. I can also help with recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing you might want to do during your visit here in Palermo. With a little advance notice and, of course, subject to availability, I can arrange early check-in or late check-out times if you need them. We take great care to ensure that your accommodations are in excellent condition and can provide additional cleaning during your stay, if necessary. For longer stays, I would recommend this option. We can also arrange for a change of linens and towels if you prefer this option. If you’d like to stay longer, I can arrange it based on availability at that time. I look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful part of Sicily. Domenico.

    This beautiful early 18th-century historic home is just a short walk (50 meters) from many exciting restaurants lining the cobblestone streets surrounding Via Beati Paoli, the historic center of the Old Town.
    This promenade leads all the way to the port of Palermo and is definitely worth a visit during your stay. This waterfront is dotted with bars and restaurants. Water sports, bike rentals, and boat tours are also available here. The port of Palermo is also within walking distance (1.5 km). If you want stunning views from above of the entire coastline and the city, head to Montepellegrino.
    Parking beneath the building is free.

    Languages spoken: Italian, English, and Spanish.

Beautiful and convenient!

The apartment was lovely. We had a short stay but all our needs were met. Great location to the markets and good food! It was a bit challenging to find by car, but walking was easy. Domenico was very helpful!

Beautiful 2nd floor apartment in amongst del Capo, but just off of a side street that takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the market allowing you to enjoy the tranquility of the apartment. Stunning high ceilings and light fixtures, tons of space and the luxury of two balconies which allow you to watch the world go by. Kitchenette with everything you need and a large dining table to eat at. We'd definitely stay again as it so close to the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of everything Palermo has to offer! The hosts were very communicative and friendly too.

traumhafte Altbauwohnung in zentraler Altstadtlage

Domenico ist ein wahnsinnig freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Vermieter, der Checkin um 2 Uhr nachts war kein problem, Transport vom Flughafen hat er für 45€ gleich mit organisiert und reichlich Lebensmittel und Kaffe standen auch schon für uns im Schrank bereit. Kommunikation lief trotz Sprache problemlos ( wenn Englisch vermiss springt auch mal der freundliche Neffe Cristian ein) Die Wohnung ist ein Altbau- Traum , bestens ausgestattet mit allem was man für einige Tage länger in Palermo benötigt. Das klapp - Sofa ist als Doppelbett absolut tauglich , Internet funktioniert und die Waschmaschine auch . Die Lage ist hervorragend , wenige Minuten von der Fußgänger Einkaufsstraße entfernt , die Kathedrale liegt ums Eck und der Markt mit köstlichen italienischen Tapas beginnt fast direkt vor der Tür. wir würden jeder Zeit wiederkommen !
