2 Bedroom Apartment in Albergheria, Palermo

This extremely comfortable, light and spacious apartment is fantastically located for sightseeing, culture, (Palermo was nominated "Italian Capital of Culture 2018"), markets and nightlife - everything is a short stroll away!
The apartment is on two floors: on the lower level is a double bedroom with balcony and en suite, a large living room with balcony, sofas, TV, table. A circular staircase takes you to the upper floor where there is the second double bedroom, bathroom, fully equipped kitchen and adjacent terrace. The apartment is on the second floor, with lift.
Both bedrooms are totally private, airy, and have air conditioning and central heating. The bedroom on the upper level can be either double or twin, (please specify on booking if you require twin beds). Both have plenty of wardrobe space.
The living room is a calm and comfortable place to return to after a day spent in the bustling city of Palermo: cool in the summer with its balcony and ceiling fan and cosy in the winter with its discreet lighting, heating and large sofas. Apart from the television, there is a selection of dvds for you to watch. There is also a dining table which can be used as a convenient laptop or working area - great for longer stays. Wi-fi is provided.
The kitchen, with dining area, has everything you need to prepare and enjoy delicious meals from the amazing variety of local produce available in the nearby food market, which is just a 2 minute walk away. There is also a dishwasher and washing machine.
The kitchen gives onto the lovely terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, with its amazing view of the stunning majolica dome of the Chiesa del Carmine Maggiore, (do not miss the end of July procession).
Please note that the apartment is unsuitable for toddlers and young children due to the potential danger of the staircase and landing. Older children are welcome.
This church is just one of the many Baroque wonders of the city. Palermo is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Arab-Norman itinerary.
The apartment is in the Albergheria area, within the old city walls. Most of the UNESCO sites are located in Albergheria as it is the oldest neighbourhood in Palermo and is where the Phoenicians founded the city. Once containing the Jewish quarter, Albergheria today is still a vibrant, multicultural district and boasts the famous Ballarò food market, founded during the Arab era and very much a real working market with its babble of voices and crowded with stalls selling local produce. My guests' reviews paint a full picture of this characteristic neighbourhood, so please read them!
The recently granted UNESCO Heritage Arab-Norman route connects Palermo with Cefalù and Monreale, (both easily reached from Palermo). Palermo also offers a programme of world-class opera performances at the city's Teatro Massimo.
Check in time in from 3 pm - 8pm, unless otherwise arranged BEFORE booking.
Palermo city tax is €4.00 per person per day up to 4 days, which I will collect in cash on arrival. Children up to 12 years old are exempt.
Please note that Wi-fi is adequate for normal holiday use, but not sufficiently stable for home working.

Summary: This duplex flat is a delight, beautifully fitted out and thoughtfully provided with the basic provisions. Very easy access to the daily market and many of the historic buildings are within 15 minutes walk. A lovely view of the church from the terrace.The perfect base for a weeks exploration of the city centre.,

Summary: This is a spacious and well equiped/furnished apartment in a very genuine, central Palermo neighbourhood. We enjoyed being somewhere where we felt we could experience local life, rather than simply being in a tourist area. It's not been "gentrified" and is a largely residential district. Only 50 yards away is the buzzing, messy Ballaro market - one of the sights of Palermo - but the apartment itself is very peaceful and the terrace a welcome retreat from Palermo's streets. We found the apartment very well located for seeing all the main sights in Palermo: a short walk from the Palazzo dei Normanni and Cathedral, the Quattro Canti at the heart of the city, and the sights of the Kalsa, Capo and Vucciria districts. The proximity to the central station (which we used for the airport and Cefalu) and Piazza Indipendenza (for the bus to Monreale - highly recommended) is also very convenient. Internally the apartment is very generous, with a downstairs living room and an upstairs kitchen/diner opening onto the terrace. Even in an unseasonably hot period for late September it stayed cool in the living areas and the airconditioning effectively kept the bedrooms at a good temperature. Our Host, Yvonne was very welcoming - we enjoyed meeting her on arrival and she was very accommodatng with our check-in arrangements, helpful in correspondence and provided useful information/recommendations (for eating we enjoyed Bisso Bistro and the basic/genuine local Tratorria il Bersagliere)

Summary: A spacious apartment in a lively neighbourhood. It can be a bit noisy at times due to the proximity to the Ballaro market but it is convenient to all the sites in the historic centre. Yvonne was a wonderful host. She had multiple suggestions of things to see and do including a fantastic restaurant recommendation that turned out to be one of the best meals we have every had. Highly Recommend.

Summary: This apartment was delightful. Its layout is such that four people could easily stay there and not get in each others way. It is located pretty much in the middle of the Ballarò market. The market shuts down in the early evening so street noise is not a problem. Yvonne was waiting for us upon our arrival, and was most informative and gracious during our stay. This was our fourth trip to Palermo and we really felt that we were staying in the authentic Palermo. Our concerns about safety in the neighborhood proved to be totally unfounded as we felt very safe the whole time.

Summary: Yvonne was an amazing host. The neighbourhood is a little edgy, but very authentic. We loved going to the market which was just steps away and buying fresh fruit, veggies and bread for breakfast and lunch. We had our bread guy and cheese guy. It made our trip to Palermo.

Summary: I highly recommend this apartment/flat. Yvonne is a wonderful host. She is very thoughtful and was a huge help during our stay. We ended up arriving 12 hours late; shortly after midnight; and Yvonne was kind enough to arrange transportation and meet us for check-in. The accommodations exceeded our expectations and the location was perfect for reaching most everything by foot. The flat was very clean and well kept. The patio/deck was awesome! Yvonne also gave excellent suggestions for places to eat and see. We would visit again without hesitation. Thanks Yvonne, ~ Randy

Summary: We can’t thank Yvonne enough for our 18-day stay at her wonderful Palermo apartment. This is a lovely spacious apartment, comfortable, extremely well appointed and located on a marvelous lively street that empties out on to the authentic Ballaro Market. We will never forget sitting on her jewel of a terrace, sipping Sicilian wine and gazing at the beautiful dome of Chiesa del Carmine Maggiore. Yvonne is wonderful. We followed so many of her recommendations for everything from local sights to restaurants and shopping (her suggestions include options for all budgets) to visiting the nice lady at the corner who squeezed fresh pomegranate juice for us each morning. When we needed her advice about where to park a rental car or best transportation to the airport, she got back to us at lightening speed and was so kind and helpful. We hope that when we return to Palermo we will be able to stay at her lovely home again. It was such a big part of a perfect trip. Thanks Yvonne!
