Homes are like people – some have the power to charm you instantly. This gorgeous and cosy apartment situated in a quiet coastal suburb of Palermo is certainly one such home. With breathtaking views over the Addaura Gulf and a lovingly decorated interior, this is an ideal base for a romantic getaway or as a holiday home for a small family.

Arrive to be welcomed by a bright and inviting open-plan living room, with a comfy sofa from which you can choose to either watch TV or gaze at the sea views outside – the choice is never easy! Step out onto the large balcony and allow yourself to be wowed by the vistas – this is the place to be at sunset, with some delicious wine and in great company. Nothing beats a candlelight supper under the stars with the sound of waves crashing in the distance.

You can easily put together lovely meals in the charming little kitchen, and there is also an indoor dining table in case a chillier evening catches you by surprise. We love all the unique pieces the host chose for this home – it’s clear that a lot of heart went into decorating and maintaining this place, and the warm ambience will make you feel instantly relaxed and comfortable.

Wake up well-rested in the plush bedroom and enjoy the breakfast provided by your host as you welcome a new day out on the terrace. You can also plan your exploring here – a short drive will take you right into the heart of Palermo, where you can wander down the winding streets, or you may also opt for an idyllic beach day, with the Addaura seafront a five-minute walk away.
