GUEST ACCESS
The guest has the right to use the entire apartment to better enjoy his stay for work or holiday in complete relaxation and privacy.
A TOUR IN THE SURROUNDINGS
Being located at the Quattro Canti, in the historic center, within 300 meters are the most important monuments, churches, theaters, museums, squares, streets of the city (Palazzo dei Normanni, Cappella Palatina, the Martorana, the Cathedral, Casa Professa , Massimo and Politeama theater, Piazza Pretoria or Vergogna and much more). Close to the apartment there are also the popular historical markets of Ballarò, Vucciria and Capo, as well as the nightlife clubs of Palermo. In the area there are several places where you can taste the excellent Sicilian cuisine and the best Street Food. Adjacent are the stops of public transport to reach the different points of the city. It is just 10 minutes from the central train station. In the area there is possibility of parking either in the free street or private garages.
THE DISTRICT
The apartment is located in a historic building of the fifteenth century. (Palazzo Moncada), restored and renovated in 2014/2016, located at the Quattro Canti.
You are in the heart of Palermo, along the Arab-Norman UNESCO route, but you are also in the center between Piazza Massimo and Pretoria, between Piazza Marina and the Parliamentary, between the popular markets of Ballarò, Capo and Vucciria where the lively and intense Palermo movida.
From Casa Petra you can get lost among the noble Palaces of the neighborhood (Aliata, Conte Federico, Mirto etc.), between characteristic alleys of the historic center and among the Arab markets, testimony of the various and varied cultures that have followed one another in Palermo. You are just a few steps from the promenade and its promenade, in an area full of pretty artisan shops, in a place full of curiosity and mystery.
It will be easy to reach all the most interesting places without stress and without haste. Simply walking. You will feel enveloped by the scent of citrus fruits, cannoli and our street food renowned all over the world. You will not have time to get bored thanks to the intense day and night life that animates the whole city.
You will see and touch centuries of history that will materialize before your eyes in the form of walls, marbles, stucco and you will understand why Palermo will not be a simple destination for you.
The nicest place to return.
