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.

We enjoyed our stay very Much. The little extra comforts provided were greatly appreciated. The location was very central and it was easy to walk everywhere. Having the capo market at our doorstep was an advantage as well

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.

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.

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!

Wonderful location
The apartment was exactly what one needs to explore the historic centre of Palermo. The rooftop deck (with basket to transport goodies) was perfect for breakfast or evening drinks.

Esperienza Indimenticabile
Volevamo restare a Palermo per un mese. Sapevamo dunque di voler trascorrere molto tempo anche in casa. Questo ha ristretto di molto il campo nella vasta offerta di case vacanza e B&B presenti in città, molti dei quali arredati in modo approssimativo, poco luminosi o privi di ascensore. La casa di Daniela e Marcello aveva già superato questa selezione sulla carta. Un palazzetto molto ben ristrutturato di recente, la posizione strategica sulla storica Porta Carini, accesso al vivace mercato del Capo, un ultimo piano servito da un comodissimo ascensore, una terrazza dalla quale si vedono i Monti che circondano Palermo, le cupole della Cattedrale e quella del Teatro Massimo, la vicinanza con i luoghi più interessanti dalla centralissima via Maqueda, al Teatro Massimo e al Politeama, oltre a un comodissimo parcheggio pubblico, indispensabile per noi che viaggiamo con auto al seguito. Dopo i primi piacevoli ed esaustivi contatti telefonici, appena arrivati siamo stati accolti dai proprietari, Daniela e Marcello che ci hanno illustrato la casa e poi ci hanno anche accompagnato a fare un giro a piedi per prendere confidenza con il quartiere. La casa ha tutto ciò che serve. Gli impianti di aria condizionata e riscaldamento sono nuovissimi. Ma il punto di forza che rende speciale questa casa confortevole, ben ristrutturata e anche silenziosa nonostante la vitalità del quartiere che la caratterizza, è la terrazza. Salendo attraverso una scala a chiocciola la casa si apre su Palermo. Per noi è stato il posto più frequentato. Le sessioni di Yoga, Tai Chi, Qui Gong e Meditazione al mattino mentre il mercato comincia a popolarsi di voci e i profumi irresistibili delle specialità che si cominciano a preparare resteranno per sempre nella nostra memoria. Abbiamo sempre mangiato in terrazza o semplicemente consumato i nostri aperitivi godendo dei cieli cangianti e dei paesaggi nei d’intorni. E che dire di Daniela e Marcello, della loro cura e attenzione ai loro ospiti e della capacità di farci sentire a casa nostra più che a casa loro? Insomma, é stata un’esperienza a 5 stelle, senza difetti e sbavature. In una parola … indimenticabile. Speriamo di poter tornare prestissimo.

Comfortable home in a perfect location
Daniela is a super host, easy to communicate with and always ready to help. The apartment is situated directly next to the Capo market and near a bus stop. The food and culture starts right at the doorstep. The terrace is a bonus, what a beautiful view of the city. Thanks Daniela!

Tolle Wohnung, super Lage
Die Vermieter waren außerordentlich freundlich. Die Wohnung ist perfekt gelegen für alles, was man in Palermo halt so machen sollte: Über Märkte gehen, Shopping in der Via Liberta, historische Sehenswürdigkeiten wie die Kathedrale, alles zu Fuß erreichbar. Der Blick von der Dachterrasse ist besonders schön. Die Wohnung ist alles in allem absolut empfehlenswert.

Appartement rénové, situé dans un bel immeuble ancien, au cœur du centre historique. Confortable à la propreté irréprochable. Cerise sur le gâteau, une terrasse sur les toits avec salon de jardin et barbecue pour les chaudes soirées d'été. Marché alimentaire typique au bas de l'immeuble sites principaux à visiter, accessibles à pied. Arrêt très proche pour la navette gratuite desservant le centre historique. Plage à 20 mn en bus. Liaisons très fréquentes. Daniela qui parle l'anglais et le français est au petits soins avec ses hôtes afin de leurs assurer le meilleur des séjours. A recommander sans hésitation.
