With arched ceilings, a wrought iron bed and vibrant furnishings, this apartment has a poetic charm that suits its historic surroundings. You’re within easy reach of the city’s major landmarks – the cathedral is just around the corner – and the train station’s nearby if you’re tempted by a day trip. But lingering here has its own appeal: sip espresso on the balcony and watch the world go by. It’s lively outside, but that’s part of Palermo's charm.

Home truths:
*Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
*The wi-fi can be temperamental – ideal if you're looking to switch off, but consider bringing a personal hotspot if you’ll need reliable internet.
*You might find this home hard to leave – if you're planning a stay longer than thirty nights, you’ll need to sign a contract with the host, which can be easily arranged.
