About this property

To the terraces of the old village

Located a few steps from the Politeama Theater, in a beautiful location in the center of Borgo Vecchio's main square, the Garden Attic is the ideal setting for your holidays in Palermo. 4 environments that grow on a total of 108 square meters and two large terraces / gardens to experience an authentically "Palermitan" life experience. Its exclusivity is the result of the passion of those who really lived, realizing a fully renovated, efficient, thermoconditioned summer house and heated in winter, equipped with all the comforts and facilities that allow you to spend the best your holidays.

Its location is strategic: in the very center of the city, in the immediate vicinity of Piazza Don Sturzo, the end of numerous buses to reach all the major monuments and museums of the city (with the 806 you reach Mondello Lido, one of the most beautiful d 'Italy); As well as two major Taxi stations, Port and Politeama Theater, in the main square of the city. In the surrounding area there are also numerous restaurants, taverns, pizzerias, bars, ice-cream parlors, cafes and pubs of every category and all price ranges.

Features of the holiday apartment.
On the fourth floor (without elevator) of a building of the early '900, this penthouse has 5 sleeping places so divided: one single room, one double bedroom and one living room with double sofa bed. The 2 bedrooms are autonomous, living with a double sofa bed makes it possible to make the most of this room in the heart of the house. A large living room and a comfortable bathroom with a shower / bath complete the apartment's amenities. Each bedroom is equipped with the necessary kit (sheets, pillowcases, pillows, but also bedspreads and extra blankets). The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, dishes, glasses, cooking utensils, coffee makers, dining table and breakfast kit.
In the spring / summer period (and rarely, with some luck, even in the warm autumn and winter days) all meals can be served outdoors in the first large terrace on the floor of the apartment , Under the roof, immersed in the green of large plants, in the suggestive colors of the neighborhood, in an extraordinary and unique frame. The apartment also has a second terrace on the solarium, also planted and furnished, equipped with a light and water system, where you can sunbathe or spend the coolest hours enjoying the view of all Borgo Vecchio.

The terrace garden.
It is the identity of the home, its distinctive element, its essence. Pine, Jakarande, Pomelie, Palm trees, Ficus, Nightlife, Ferns, Gelsomini, large fatty plants: a spectacle of Mediterranean nature in the center of town. A true secret garden, where it is pleasant to rest, letting look at this world of essences, scents, leaves of countless forms. The spouses Ferdinando and Cettina have cared for every detail, breeding these plants from seed. This is the peculiarity of this terrace / garden: every plant was born on that terrace by a seed harvested in Palermo, on the street, in the public gardens, in the squares of this city where exotic trees come from far , Finding an ideal habitat for their development. The climate in Palermo allows living terraces nine months a year. The owners personally take care of this real botanical field, representative of their city.

Above the Hustle

We stayed in Palermo for a wine business trip and spent the majority of our 3 days on the road. Using the terrace, Wi-Fi and desks were essential to us. 2 separated bedrooms also good. As with most large cities in Italy, parking is always a challenge so we used the paid parking 2 blocks east of the apartment. If you want Sicilian culture, not a tourist culture, this is the place to be since the neighborhood is all Sicilians going about with their own lifestyle, day and night. Palermo is also known to be the street food capital in Sicily.

It is affordable, has lots of space, and a huge rooftop terrace. It was perfect for the three of us. The property manager, Concetta, went out of her way to provide information and tips throughout our stay.

Short on Delivery

Terrific pictures, with numerous rooms, an absolutely beautiful roof terrace, in a very good and very convenient neighbourhood. But, in reality, during a period of high heat, the apartment is far too hot to be comfortable, despite it having 4 air conditioners. I arrived to an apartment that was dark and shut up tight. No air. It was STIFLING heat. Could the owners son have turned on air before I arrived? I was asked - begged - to 'not turn on more than one at a time'. So, I didn't. This meant that the room we were in was comfortable, but we had little access to other rooms because they were so so hot. It was 38C degrees outside, and I can guarantee it was as hot inside, maybe hotter. I did not sleep one night in the master bedroom, because the air con started dripping all over the beautiful wooden floors, and I didn't want the floors ruined, so I turned it off, went in the sitting room, unfolded a sofa bed which was hellishly uncomfortable. Really truly awful to sleep on. I mentioned the broken AC to the owner, who apologised, saying a technician could not be there until after I was gone. I did not have a good nights sleep while I was there, and I was glad to leave. Sincerely, in my view, the host fell short. Beds have to be decent. They can't be lumpy, saggy, uncomfortable. Air systems have got to work, When they stop working, they need to be fixed. 'Begging' the guests NOT to turn on the air in more than one room is not hosting. It is dictating. Sorry, Not recommended.

Très agréable mais...

L'appartement est très agréable et spacieux et la terrasse très appréciable. Par contre, le quartier, bien que proche de tous les commerces utiles, est très sale (tas d'immondices et de poubelles dans les rues) et bruyant. Le samedi soir, nous avons du supporter un "concours" de tunning proposé par des voitures, toutes fenêtres ouvertes, garées dans la rue et qui ont fait un tel vacarme jusque 3h du matin que les vitres de l'appartement en vibraient!

Wunderschöne Zeit

Wir waren eine Woche in Palermo und haben uns in der Wohnung sehr wohlgefühlt, es war alles da, was gebraucht wurde, von der klimanlage bis zu salz und pfeffer. Die Lage ist etwas schräg, nachts ein bisschen laut, aber 100 m in irgendeine Richtung waren gute lokale, kneipen. Der bus war auch nicht weit weg, man konnte auch viele der touristischen ecken erlaufen. Highlight ist aber die Terasse und wenn nicht eine sehr interessante Stadt gelockt hätte, wären wir sicher dort sitzen geblieben. Sehr empfehlenswert.
