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.
