Historic house in the ancient city walls in the historic center of the Kalsa district

Elegant apartment with a suggestive furnished terrace overlooking the sea and the historic center of Palermo, inserted in the monumental context of the ancient fifteenth-century walls of the city, in the ancient Arab quarter of Kalsa, on the ancient promenade. The apartment enjoys an exceptional sea view, has a double bedroom, a bathroom with window and whirlpool tub, a living room with an equipped kitchen and a comfortable sofa bed, where you can stay and eat meals, a room with a only bed and small w. c., and above a splendid terrace. Attached to the apartment there is a small annex with a double bedroom and w. c. shower, independent from the apartment (for a total of 7 beds). Being inside the walls, the apartment enjoys a great tranquility and is located in an elegant and well-kept context. The apartment is equipped with every comfort: wifi system, TV, washing machine, dishwasher, oven, hairdryer, dishes and linens, and is furnished with care and elegance, and has been recently restored. The area is of great historical and monumental interest, surrounded by beautiful villas (villa by the sea, Villa Giulia, Botanical Garden, Villa Garibaldi), by museums (Palazzo Abatellis), by very important churches (Chiesa della Maggione, Chiesa della Gancia, Chiesa della Catena) ... ..), from buildings of historical interest such as the Crociferi, Lo Spasimo, Lo Steri (seat of the rectorate), the ancient markets of Vucciria and Ballarò and in addition it is very easy to walk to Piazza Pretoria, the Quattro Canti di Città and all the major attractions of the historic center such as the Teatro Massimo. The neighborhood is also at the center of the Palermo nightlife with bars, restaurants, typical restaurants and trendy clubs. In the neighborhood there are small shops. It is possible to walk to the central train and bus station and the Cala Marina. The city port and the entrance to the highway towards CT are a few Km ...

Amazing location
My partner and I work from home and booked Igea's flat for a month. The location was ideal, very central and well located to get to the main streets in the city centre, the train station and all the sights Palermo has to offer. We loved Igea's style and how the apartment is decorated. The view of the ocean from the apartment is very cool to be able to see all the gigantic ships sail by. Igea was a great host whenever we had a problem she was very reactive. We unfortunately had a gas leak happen when we were there and Igea came very quickly with repair men and she also swiftly changed the gas cooker for us. When the electricity went out due the air con being on as well as doing the washing, Igea was immediate in her support for me to figure out how to get the electricity back on! It was a great experience living in such an old city and these issues are common. The most important was that whatever happened, we felt safe that the issue would be dealt with quickly. The apartment is great for people staying for a week to 2 weeks on vacation, the kitchen is not the most equipped if you plan to eat at home most of the time like we did since we were working and not vacationing. But otherwise we would highly recommend this property for an amazing holiday! Thank you Igea!

Great apartment to explore Palermo
Great location and full of character- loved the terrace and the air conditioning was very much appreciated. Five star hosta - Igea was very helpful and the communication was excellent - we were collected at the airport by Flavio which made the journey super easy.

lovely apartment
The apartment is lovely, much nicer than in the photographs. The roof terrace is just wonderful, we spent a lot of time there watching the ships go in and out after walking round Palermo. Igea fetched us from the station in a car and was most helpful. We walked back to get the bus out, it takes about 20 minutes. There are restaurants and small shops very near by, the centre of the old town is easily reached on foot, and even though it's near a main road it's quiet at night with all the shutters closed. We would have liked to have stayed longer.

Great location, quiet but close to everything.
Igea was a wonderful host. She was there when we checked in and showed us all the workings of the house. She also kept us informed of all the happenings around the town. The apartment was nicely decorated in a beautiful district of Kalsa. It was comfortable in general with a minor exception of the shower. It was difficult to take shower without flooding of the bathroom. Eventually we found the way to do it by lowering shower head and almost crouching underneath. Small price to pay for the superb location.

Host profile image
I love traveling. I'm in love with the historical center of my city .
The lush terrace of the house is a hobby!

Why they chose this property

The house is in the historic downtown area oldest folk and charming city . And ' restored with care, taste and elegance and has every convenience and requires constant maintenance and accurate because very old and the sea . The terrace is wonderful is often I host my friends !

What makes this property unique

The house is a historic, inside the walls and therefore can not have the characteristics of a modern apartment, but the charm of the old houses:. High ceilings with vaulted ceilings, thick stone walls 1 mt, with large windows, shutters, overlooking the sea, the historic center and a beautiful indoor atrium tranquil and lush. It 'was recently renovated with quality materials, from glass mosaic in bathrooms, floors, kitchen handmade wooden furniture, air conditioners, and has all modern amenities (hot tub, wi-fi system ....). Precisely for this reason it is not accessible to people with mobility problems or small children. It is in addition very close to the marina of Cala where you can moor, train station and bus station, the major historical sites, the most beautiful villas and churches and sea not suitable for bathing. Usually at the request and accompanied me in my car and no extra guests from the main station (easily accessible from the airport) to the house.
