The apartment enjoys a unique view of the sea and a huge terrace for the exclusive use of guests. From the huge terrace you will enjoy an amazing breathtaking view! The building was built in the late 60s and is the result of collaboration between engineer Franco Amoroso and the prestigious firm of architects BBPR, which consists of the master of Italian Rationalism Gian Luigi Banfi Lodovico Barbiano di Belgiojoso Enrico Peressutti ed Ernesto Nathan Rogers. This building is considered by experts one of the most important example of contemporary architecture in Palermo old town and is highly appreciated as expression of Brutalism, an architectural style which emerged during the 1950s in the United Kingdom, among the reconstruction projects of the post-war era. In fact, the building rises from the ashes of a pre-existing Baroque palace destroyed by the bombings of the Second World War and represents a rare example of stitching between ancient city and modern architecture. In this regard, noteworthy is the ancient portal wisely preserved on the side on Via della Regia Zecca. The apartment is fully furnished with fine furniture and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The main rooms overlook the terrace surrounding the apartment, and from this you can access the wonderful sun terrace on the roof of the building for the exclusive use of guests. Its position allows a unique breathtaking view of Porta Felice, the suggestive sea horse fountain, the seafront (foro italico) and the entire bay of the city. We are in the ZTL (limited traffic zone), to access by car is necessary a Pass. Contact me to receive info on this! Dear guests, please check the apartment rules before booking. Dear guests, I assure you that my apartment is located in one of the quietest areas of the historic center, but please keep in mind that Palermo is a lively and folkloristic city and can sometimes be noisy to the most sensitive ears.

Make a.change from bland modern villas. The roof terrace is as the pictures. You are in Palermo so it was noisy but that is what earplugs are for. Host was very responsive and the building is very secure, the host and most of his family live in different apartments. ##### Shelly F.

Wonderful terrace with view of harbour - we loved watching the cruise liners arrive and depart: very spacious, well-equipped apartment: host Giovanni and his mother Marina responded immediately to problems and could not have been more helpful. The apartment is in the Kalsa, the old Arab quarter and a great location. Lots of restaurants, bars, a Sunday Market, and museums like Palazzo Mirto, Palazzo Butera and Palazzo Abatellis are all within walking distance. If we return to Palermo we would not want to stay anywhere else! ##### Diana S.

Geovani arranged for us to be picked up at the airport by Vincenso (who we used several times for trips to Segesta and Agrigento.) The apartment is stunning: the view, the location, the museum quality furnishings. Everything was more than we expected. The location made it easy to get to the grocery store (a 5 minute walk to Famila) and to at least a dozen excellent coffee shops and restaurants in the vicinity. A 10 minute walk takes you to the redeveloped Palermo waterfront with its excellent new restaurants and promenade. It's maybe 15 minutes to walk to the Quatro Conti. The property itself could not have been nicer. Geovani and Marina (his mom) made sure we had coffee, ice (we American's have a thing about ice...) and basics. They arranged to have the place cleaned after week one, while we were out on an excursion.Can't say enough nice things about the apartment, the hosts and the location. We feel we got a bargain and would go there again. ##### jeffreyu c.

This apartment was perfect for our trip to Palermo. It is centrally located, with restaurants, grocery stores and shopping nearby. The view of the harbor from the deck and roof is gorgeous. The apartment is very spacious,with plenty of room for 4 adults (maybe even a couple more!). It was immaculately clean and well-stocked with everything we could possibly need for our stay....Giovanni even left a basket of snacks and several large bottles of water for us in the kitchen, which, after a long travel day was greatly appreciated. Best of all, Giovanni was a pleasure to work with, he even greeted us in the apartment when we got there. He stayed in touch with us during our visit to make sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend this property, as I would definitely stay here again! ##### Tanya B. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liz G. 13 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great host and location. Beautiful view and proximity to everything. Giovanni was an attentive host from pre-booking all the way thru check-out. He was always available when we needed him and provided a lovely home. The place is HUGE. As a couple, we often got lost - lol. Originally booked for a larger group so would have been nice to share the apartment with more people so felt like a mansion for 2 people. Only thing for big groups to know is both bathrooms require access thru the bedrooms, so if you’re not close with the person in the 3rd bedroom coming thru your room to use the bathroom then this may not be for you. There were also some times when the street was loud at night but Giovani provided ear plugs if you need them. The beds were comfortable and we slept extremely well. Was also nice to have a secure parking space for our rental. I would highly recommend this apartment and would stay again. ##### Liz G.

Ideally located in the characterful old part of town whilst also having amazing views of the bustling harbour. Giovanni was a superb host; being ever helpful, knowledgable and considerate. The apartment could not be faulted in any way. It was extremely well equipped, spacious, comfortable and everything worked, including the excellent air conditioning.

The apartment was super with everything you need to enjoy your stay in the wonderful city of Palermo. Giovanni’s mother greeted us and took us up to the apartment in the elevator. She showed us everything and even welcomed us with an assortment of goodies: Food, wine and water to start our stay! So nice!! We gave the main bedroom which has a fab view of the port to our friends (we are taking turns choosing). The apartment was built using quality materials and the architect was Giovanni’s grandfather! A short walk to wonderful restaurants and cafes and the Port. The only downsides were a leaking shower in the main. Our ensuite was fine but watch the direction of the shower spray. Some road noise and construction noise but it did not take away our pleasure staying there. Hopefully we will return one day. ##### Martin D.

It was extremely spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. The roof terrace is enormous and provides a great view of the sea and port. The wi-fi, heating and hot water all worked well. The hosts were considerate and attentive. The location is in a historic area and there are many restaurants nearby. The neighbourhood felt safe and we had no concerns about going out in the evening. Highly recommended. ##### Diana H.

The outside wrap around terrace leads you to a large rooftop terrace all your own! Giovanni is wonderful and provided us with a tour of the apt and upon entering we found wine, beer and snacks. The location is perfect! Wish we had booked it for much longer! ##### Denise K.

Location couldn’t have been better right on edge of Old Town and on the Sea. Views were amazing and walking distance to dozens of great restaurants. Requests and responses were fast and professional. We have done many VRBO stays and strongly recommend Porta Felice! ##### David M.
