About this property

Apartment/ flat - Palermo

Very bright penthouse located in via Maqueda, in the heart of the historic centre, a short distance from the most important architectural and cultural treasures of the city.
The Teatro Massimo, a stupendous Art Nouveau masterpiece, the Cathedral, a pearl of Arab-Norman architecture in Sicily, and then San Giovanni degli Eremiti, Piazza Pretoria, La Martorana, Palazzo dei Normanni, the Archbishop's Museum, Porta Nuova, Piazza Marina: they are just some of the destinations reachable in a few minutes of pleasant walk.
Although it is favorably inserted in a central context, near the famous popular market of Ballarò, via Roma and via Ruggiero VII, very popular shopping destinations in the city, the apartment benefits from the happy positioning on the top floor of a noble building which makes it similar to a silent and relaxing oasis in which to immerse yourself pleasantly.
Inside, in fact, one cannot help but appreciate the bright and comfortable rooms, the soft movement of the high wooden ceilings, the majolica specially made by master Seminara, the flowery terrace overlooking via Maqueda and the balconies with splendid panoramic views of the city with its colorful roofs and the beautiful domes of its churches.
The apartment was renovated at the same time as the entire building in 2020 and has been furnished with loving care to ensure a stay as pleasant and full of comfort as possible.
Inside it consists of two beautiful air-conditioned bedrooms, well furnished with large beds and orthopedic mattresses.
From a spacious and comfortable double living room with a large 49-inch television, overlooking the beautiful flowered terrace, attractive and well equipped with comfortable armchairs where you can rest and with table and chairs for eating outdoors.
From a modern and independent kitchen with every accessory necessary for cooking, and from a bright and comfortable bathroom with window.
A walk to the Ballaro' Market, which is located just a hundred meters away from the apartment, is an enchanting appointment not to be missed: you will discover an itinerary of high artistic and cultural value, which leads from the Cathedral to the Teatro Massimo , flanking stalls of colorful and lively food products.
Considered among the most authentic markets in the city in terms of gastronomic offer and product quality.
Pleasant mixture of voices, smells and colors, a corner of the city where time seems to have stopped.
The area in which the apartment is located is well equipped with public transport services and is located a short distance from the bus stop for the buses that come from the airport, from the shuttles that carry out the tourist tours of the most beautiful architectural attractions of the historic center and from the bus stop that takes you to the beautiful Mondello beach.
In the surroundings there are numerous clothing and shoe shops, restaurants, pizzerias, trattorias, kiosks, wine bars, ice cream bars and pastry shops where you can taste the irresistible delicacies and the extraordinary products of the renowned Sicilian Culinary Art, appreciated all over the world for its its goodness and for the richness of its flavours.
All rooms are equipped with Wi-Fi Internet.
Consumption of utilities, Wi-Fi internet, sheets, bath towels, included in the rental price.
Heating supplement according to the season.
Transfer service from the airport to the apartment and vice versa for a fee.
Equipped kitchen: including oil, salt, sugar, coffee, etc.
The ancient building that houses the apartment, together with the apartment itself, has been recently renovated with the utmost attention to the aesthetic and functional aspects, in full respect of the historical and architectural characteristics of the structure.

Incredible location!

What a wonderful little apartment in the heart of Palermo! We were really impressed with how close this place was to the Balaro market as well as Via Maqueda. Massimo was a wonderful host and the kitchen is well equipped - we made a nice pot of soup with veggies from the market! The beds are large, which is harder to find in Italy. We’d definitely stay here again!

Host was great, flat was very nice and adequate for our needs. Good location for all p.o.i.'s. Just dont bring alot of luggage as there is no lift and alot of stairs to scale...saying that though, the host was gracious enough to help us carry our 300 lbs of luggage. Nice place and very nice host.

Appartement de charme

Dans le cœur historique de Palerme, près de tous les lieux à visiter, le quartier est cependant un peu tendu après minuit car beaucoup de migrants dorment dehors Mais aucun problème dans la journée Appartement charmant avec 2 grandes chambres , une cuisine équipée convenablement, une petite terrasse plein sud à utiliser le soir, très bon accueil beaucoup d infos laissées par le propriétaire qui répond très rapidement aux questions les bémols Une toute petite salle de bain et un 4ème étage un peu rude avec des bagages Le supplément pour la climatisation de 20 euros qui n est pas du luxe car sous les toits Cependant une bonne adresse car bon rapport qualité/prix Beaucoup d infos dans l appartement

Nice apartement, excellent location

We spent wonderful days in this beautiful and well-kept apartment, just some footsteps away from the famous ballaro market and many other cultural places in the "centro storico" of palermo. We had a charming wellcome by Massimiliano who gave us many important informations about the city and its surroundings. Thank you Massimo! We'll come back !

Sehr schöne Wohnung im Centro Storico von Palermo

Die gut ausgestattete Wohnung liegt im historischen Zentrum von Palermo, alles ist fussläufig zu erreichen. Gleich um die Ecke gelegen ist der Ballaro-Markt, wo man alles bekommt, was das Herz begehrt. In der gut ausgestatteten Küche lassen sich die Köstlichkeiten bestens zubereiten. Die Dachterasse hat am Vormittag Sonne, der kleine Balkon am westlich ausgerichteten Schlafzimmer am Abend. Die Wohnung ist hell und man hat von allen Fenstern schöne Ausblicke auf die Stadt. Massimo hat uns herzlichst empfangen und war sehr zuvorkommend, er hat uns gute Tipps für Restaurants und die Stadt überhaupt gegeben. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder!

Poetic apartment

The apartment that hosted us is really fantastic, it is located in the beautiful and central but quiet Via Maqueda. Massimo's apartment is suitable for all types of travelers, particularly suited to the needs of a family as it is quite spacious with two comfortable bedrooms available. It offers a very cozy atmosphere, furnished with good taste, warm, clean, super comfortable and well located. In the bedrooms we slept divinely in large beds and with comfortable mattresses, I immediately felt at home ...   The terrace has an exciting view on the beautiful views of the roofs of Palermo and the beautiful domes of the churches. It's well equipped and sunny, has given us good times, sipping a glass of wine at sunset. The area where the apartment is located is quiet: the beautiful Ballarò Market is just around the corner, just a few steps away from the Teatro Massimo, the Royal Palace, the Cathedral, naturally all within walking distance. In addition, a pleasant shopping tour can be started from below the house. Massimo is a perfect host, kind and helpful, who will welcome you warmly on arrival and spend minutes to introduce you to the apartment and to describe the city. He knows his city very well, he provided us with a useful map with the main tourist attractions and gave us excellent advice on restaurants, pizzerias and taverns. We tried them all and we were very satisfied. Excellent transfer service from the airport to the apartment, which Massimo takes care of personally. During the trip he takes the opportunity to present the city and to allow guests a very useful first knowledge of the historical center. I think this apartment is a really ideal place to stay in the city and I highly recommend it. Thanks Massimo, it was a top vacation! I would gladly come back anytime.

Schöne, sehr zentral gelegene Ferienwohnung

Schöne, sehr zentral gelegene Ferienwohnung in der Innenstadt mit schöner sonnigen Terrasse und kleinem Balkon. Somit hat man von der Wohnung in mehrere Richtungen herrliche Ausblicke. Ob historische Märkte (Ballarò direkt um die Ecke, unser Lieblingsmarkt ) Theater, Kirchen , sehenswerte Palazzi, Museen, oder zur Shoppingtour, alles bequem zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Wohnung ist gut und nett ausgestattet. Wir haben die Tage in Palermo sehr genossen und gerne mit einem Gläschen Wein auf der Terrasse ausklingen lassen.

Brilliant place to stay in a fabulous city

We really enjoyed staying in this apartment. It's on Via Maqueda, one of the main streets in the city and central to all the sights of the old town. The apartment has lots of character with two balconies including one overlooking the street where you can drink wine and watch the world go by (as we did every night). Everything you need is included with a fully stocked kitchen, TV, Wi-Fi and aircon. Massimo, the owner, is the perfect host who will welcome you warmly on arrival and spend a few minutes explaining about the apartment and the city. He gave us some great restaurant recommendations - we tried all of them and were very impressed - plus a useful map which helped us navigate the back alleys and side streets. This was our first time in Palermo and we absolutely loved it. We thoroughly recommend the city and Massimo's apartment is the ideal place to stay.

Great apart and extremely friendly owner

As mentioned by several other reviewers, Massimo's apartment is spacious, beautiful and well located. Massimo himself is genuily friendly and wants to help. He answers the messages sent to him quickly, and often. I asked his help on one particular matter, and he did so. Now, renters have to understand that they will be located on a busy street of a big and busy city, and so as to accept the normal noises of urban life. But the bedrooms are well isolated and, with the normal noise of the air conditioning, one can have a good nights sleep. The only real drawback of the apartment is the frequent and rather strong noise generated by the motor of the outside water cistern that located on the side of the wall of the living room. Still, overall, a good rental, and a great renter!

indimenticabile

il mio soggiorno a Palermo è stato fantastico, sono stata lì per lavoro per dieci giorni, l'appartamento di Massimiliano è molto bello, confortevole e la presenza della terrazza ha dato aria a quei brevi momenti di pausa che ho avuto. Il mercato del Ballarò proprio dietro l'angolo è veramente una comodità (soprattutto per i prezzi!)

Un soggiorno mer aveiloso

Massimo is a super host. He was so punctual, friendly and helpful with everything. The flat is perfectly located near the train/bus terminal making travel from the airport a snap. The place is fully equipped and tastefully and comfortably furnished. The beds are also quite good. Don't forget to ask Massimo where to eat as his tips were excellent! You will definitely enjoy staying here if you visit Palermo. Massimo ė molto gentile e abbiamo avuto un soggiorno molto piaccevole. Lui a raccomendato molto da vedette e dobbiamo raccomendato l'osteria ferro ai cavali e la pizzeria del suo fratello. Cuccina ottima italiana. L'appartamento no ha piacciuto molto et la terazza ė perfeta. La gente à Palermo ė cosi gentile e abbiamo passt un soggiorno perfect in Sizilia. Einfach perfecter Urlaub in den Wohnung von Massimo. So kann man Palermo genießen!

en plein coeur historique de Palerme

Le logement se situe en plein cœur historique de Palerme. Nous étions une famille de 5 adultes, malgré tout, le logement est très spacieux. Le balcon offre une vue imprenable des toits de Palerme ! La gare n'est pas très loin (5min à pied), ce qui permet de faire la navette de l'aéroport à la ville, facilement. On peut visiter à pied la ville ainsi que la majorité des monuments. Nous remercions chaleureusement Massimiliano, pour son accueil, sa bonne humeur et ses conseils : un très bon guide. Grazie per tutta la famiglia Elisabetta

Über den Dächern Palermo's

Wir erlebten wunderbare Tage in Palermo in der wunderschönen Wohnung . Massimo hat uns herzlich begrüßt und uns mit allen notwendigen Informationen versorgt. Dank seiner Restauranttips hatten wir ein Ziel und wurden angenehm überrascht. Alles war sauber, das Bett sehr bequem, die Küche mit Gewürzen und sogar Kaffee, gut ausgestattet, so dass wir uns , mit Einkäufen vom nahegelegenen Markt ein gutes Essen kochen konnten. Der Blick von der Terrasse war wunderschön, alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten schon von oben zu erkennen und zu Fuss zu erreichen. Da wir mit einem Mietwagen nach Palermo kamen waren sehr glücklich, dank Massimo, gleich um die Ecke einen Parkplatz zu finden. Wir können die Wohnung von Herzen empfehlen und bedanken uns nochmals für die liebevolle Betreuung .

Great experience

This apartment is situated in the heart of the town, close to the main attractions. You can walk around and reach them in a short time. So you can come back to the flat during the day for getting a break whenever you want and rest for a while. Despite you are in center, the apartment is calm and silent. We really felt at home, the bed is very comfortable and the living room is a very wide and bright space. In the kitchen we found all we need for cooking. It is very bright and clean. Massimo has thought to everything for allowing people to enjoy their stay. There are even some light blankets you can use when you read a book or watch TV in the living room. The apartment is on the top of the building and the views on the town are unforgettable. The terrace is really a jem. We used in the morning for the breakfast and in the evening for drink before getting out. Massimo is a very kind owner and we could appreciate the passion he uses to manage the relationship with his guests. He answered very promptly to our enquiry and to our questions before the arrival. He met us at the apartment and helped my wife with her luggage. His suggestions for the visit are very helpful. He gave us information about restaurants, pasticcerie, and cafe. We followed his suggestions and found them perfectly in sintony with our expectations. I had a problem with my mobile phone and he helped me to get the information about how to solve it. I want definetevely recommend this flat to everybody. I don't think it shoud be easy to find something better in the town!

Super découverte de Palerme et de la Sicile!

Appartement super sympa, idéalement situé près de la gare centrale (300m) dans un quartier incroyable (Ballaro). La vie Palermitaine est pleine de contrastes et ce quartier permet d'en saisir une infime partie. Nous voyageons avec nos 3 enfants de 18, 16 et 11 ans. Tous on eu une fascination pour l'ambiance de cette ville et à aucun moments n'a été ressenti de l'insécurité. La gare centrale est le point névralgique pour partir en train ou en car aux 4 coins de l'île. Massimo a été adorable, son accueil nous a énormément plus. l'appartement est nickel, la literie est très bien et la terrasse est très agréable avec une vue sur les toits de la ville, à recommander.

Palermo

Wir kamen am späten Abend in Palermo an und der Besitzer erwartete uns mit kühlen Getränken und versorgte uns mit ausführlichen Informationen und Tipps und einem Stadtplan für Palermo. Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt... Das Appartement befindet sich in zentraler Lage und alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sowie Bus und Bahn sind bequem zu Fuss zu erreichen. Zudem verfügt die Wohnung über eine ansprechende und sehr gemütliche Einrichtung und von der Dachterrasse und vom Küchenfenster geniesst man den Blick über die Dächer Palermos und kann gemütliche Abende mit leckerem Essen und Rotwein (ein Willkommensgeschenk des Besitzers) verbringen. Zum Kochen kann man gleich um die Ecke auf dem grössten Markt Palermos leckeres Gemüse, Obst, Käse... einkaufen und die Küche verfügt über alles Notwendige. Wir haben eine wunderschöne Woche in Palermo verbracht und können das Appartement sehr gern weiterempfehlen.

Cet endroit est une très bonne adresse. L'appartement est agréable, aéré, suffisamment grand avec une terrasse très appréciable quand on rentre après une journée de visites. Très bien situé, proche des sites incontournables et près du marché typique où l'on trouve de tout ... (Ballero) Merci à Massimo pour son accueil (à l'aéroport et à l'appartement -avec vin sicilien-), ses précieux conseils (restaurants, parkings ...). Très appréciable aussi de trouver café, thé, sucre et produits de première nécessité quand on arrive... Cécile & C°
