Description Ancient Sicilian Haven: Palermo

Located in Palermo’s bohemian Kalsa district, over the years this historic home has welcomed Neapolitan royalty and hosted Admiral Horatio Nelson. So, you’re in good company when you stay here. The apartment retains plenty of period character, with original decorative details and classical artwork found throughout the refined rooms. But our favourite feature is the blue-and-white-tiled terrace – a spectacular space for dinner, drinks, or savouring the sunshine. And with the city right on the doorstep, you’ll soon be captivated by Sicily’s high-spirited capital.

Home truths:
*While one bedroom and bathroom aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*There's an additional en-suite bedroom here with two single beds which is available for accompanying staff on request – speak to your host in advance if you'd like to use this room.
*You'll find expensive artwork in this home, so it might not be the best choice if you're travelling with young children.
*A car isn't essential here, however if you are bringing a car, free parking is available.
