About this property

The terrace on the historic market

  • L’appartamento è un luminoso e accogliente bilocale di circa 58 mq, interamente ristrutturato e arredato. L’appartamento, attico con terrazza, è ubicato al piano quarto di un edificio ottocentesco con accesso dal n.74 della Via Volturno, adiacente al mercato storico del Capo ed in prossimità del Teatro Massimo, location privilegiata per i collegamenti urbani ed extraurbani e per gli itinerari storici e culturali.
    L’ingresso si apre direttamente sul soggiorno, arredato con un comodo divano letto 2 posti, angolo tv, tavolo da pranzo per 6 persone. Da qui si accede alla camera da letto matrimoniale, all'ampio ripostiglio, la cucina separata perfettamente attrezzata corredata di tutti gli accessori (frigorifero, forno) e al bagno con doccia. L’appartamento è dotato di impianto di riscaldamento ed acqua calda sanitaria, aria condizionata. Dal soggiorno si passa ad un balcone, da cui, attraverso una scala a chiocciola, si accede ad una terrazza di circa 25 mq con splendida vista sul centro storico di Palermo.
    Il Mercato storico del Capo è luogo di grande fascino: situato in un quartiere popolarissimo, si formò in età musulmana, era abitato dagli Schiavoni, pirati commercianti di schiavi. I venditori creano quella musica capace di penetrare con assordante cantilena in dialetto palermitano (abbanniare), invitando ad acquistare la loro merce. Il variopinto pesce disteso sui banchi di ghiaccio è accostato amorosamente, illuminato da grandi lampade e bagnato in continuazione per esaltarne le qualità, compresi i pesci grandi: tonno e pesce spada.
    L’appartamento si trova nel pieno centro della città di Palermo, a due passi dal Teatro Massimo, dal percorso UNESCO arabo normanno e dai siti di maggiore interesse. Si possono raggiungere tranquillamente a piedi la cattedrale, la cappella palatina, la chiesa della martorana, il palazzo dei normanni, i quattro canti, piazza pretoria, i mercati storici di Palermo, il Capo e Ballaró, che vi conquisteranno con i loro colori e folklore. A 100 metri potrete vivere la movida palermitana: piazza Spinuzza e piazza Olivella sono ritrovo dei giovani palermitani e la via Principe di Belmonte, cosiddetto “salotto di Palermo”, la via Ruggero Settimo e la via della Libertà, ricca di negozi e locali.

This lovely apartment is an oasis in the busy city of Palermo. While is it centrally located near the bustling Capo market area, the apartment is quiet, cool and peaceful. It was immaculate, as though we were the first ones ever there. The bed was comfortable, linens nice, kitchen and bath well equipped. Daniela greeted us, and was available for any questions. After busy days exploring vibrant Palermo we were happy to "come home" to our private place, pour a glass of wine, and go up to the lovely roof terrace to relax. Thank you, Daniela

We loved everything about the apartment. It was a home away from home. Everything you could need was close by… Capo market, bread store and convenience stores. Having two balconies was a bonus for us and we loved relaxing in the evening on the rooftop with a glass of wine. The ritual of hoisting the basket of goodies up was great fun. We had actually seen two ladies in the Capo Market do the same from their balconies. Little did we know!!!! We absolutely loved Palermo and while we read that a couple of days would be sufficient, we were sad to leave once the week was up!Thank you. We Daniela. We hope to return someday!

Perfect apartment in Palermo

We had a wonderful stay in this clean and well appointed apartment. The host Daniela was wonderful and even arranged a computer monitor for me to use for work. The AC worked great, it was 34° outside but completely comfortable inside. Location is great for walking all around the city, there is a largish supermarket 100m away, and great restaurants nearby. Would definitely stay there again.

Very pleasant stay in Palermo

We had an excellent stay in this beautiful apartment in the heart of the old city. This place is conveniently located above the colourful historic market, very close to Teatro Massimo, and a walking distance to the Cathedral and many other places we visited on our 4 day trip. Excellent communication with the Daniela and her husband. They greeted us with local sweets, cannoli and a 7 layer cake. The apartment was well stocked and spotless clean. We highly recommend it.

Great location to explore Palermo

We enjoyed our apartment: it's a perfect location to explore Palermo, in particular the historical center of the city. The apartment was clean, spacious and the terrace up on the roof was great in the early morning or evening for some relaxation after walking all day around Palermo. Daniela is a great host and she made sure we had a comfortable and pleasant stay. We recommend!

Daniela welcomed us with kindness and a smile even though we were running late and had kept her waiting! We had apertivos, water and ice waiting for us and also some dolci typical of Palermo. Her apartment was very comfortable and had everything you needed with many extra toiletries available. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and spices for making a meal. The view from the top terrace is wonderful, so we made sure to enjoy breakfasts and coffee and cocktails and even a dinner on the terrace. The apartment is well situated for walking to most sights and attractions of Palermo. Many restaurants and stores are close by and the Mercato del Capo is right next to the apartment building. Grazie mille Daniela!

Best location, best host

I could not be happier. This location is right at the beginning of the market YET extremely quiet and comfortable. It does not have a microwave but everything else you need is there. There is a little grocery about 2 blocks away to buy cereal and milk if need be and a really nice restaurant a few feet from the front door. The apartment has a lovely roof top terrace for relaxation and a little balcony with flowers growing, so pretty. The washing machine worked perfectly. The bathroom is very adequate with a bidet and small shower. Larger people may struggle a bit with the small shower but as a normal sized person it was fine. There is an elevator so getting up to the apartment is easy for all.The host made certain that all my questions were answered and accommodated my requests appropriately. She is very friendly and communication went seamlessly. I would definitely stay there again and greatly appreciated her efforts.

Mitten im LebenDie Wohnung liegt perfekt und ist trotz des Marktes in der Straße sehr ruhig. Man kann sich gut erholen und abschalten, die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet, sauber und stilsicher eingerichtet. Daniela war sehr hilfsbereit und stets zu erreichen. Für uns war es sehr schön, von der quirligen und lebendigen Stadt so viel mitzubekommen und schnell mitten im Zentrum zu sein. Der absolute Höhepunkt aber ist die kleine Dachterasse. Auch, wenn das Wetter bei uns kühl war, haben wir den Ausblich vor allem abends oft genossen.Wenn wir nochmal nach Palermo kommen, dann in diese Wohnung.

Sehr schöne Wohnung

Wir hatten ein paar sehr schöne Tage in Palermo. Die Wohnung liegt perfekt um die Stadt und das Leben dort zu genießen. Der Mercato del Capo beginnt direkt hinter dem Haus und ist wirklich sehr schön. Man kann alles zu Fuß machen und braucht kein Auto, weil alles in der Altstadt innerhalb von max. 30 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen ist. Die wunderschöne Dachterasse haben wir ausgiebig genutzt und Daniela ist wirklich sehr nett und war auch immer für uns erreichbar. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Franco & Heike
