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.

Wonderful place to stay in Palermo
The property is right at Quattro Centri and very central in the historical area. Franco is an excellent host to deal with and the apartment is very comfortable and quiet.

Superb location and comfortable
Could not find a better location in Palermo with major sites and shops all within easy walking distance. Driving in Palermo is a nightmare so this important. Just having a car is problematic with parking, one way streets etc. The apartment is well decorated but a bit squeezy for five.

Franco was extremely helpful. He not only made sure someone was available to get us right in, but he arranged for parking for our rental car as well. We could not have asked for a better location. It is right off the Main Street with plenty of restaurants and stores easily in walking distance. It was extremely easy to get to the sights without long walks or taking taxis. There was such an amazing vibe right outside your front door. The main living area felt a little cramped and looked bigger in the pictures, but the bedrooms were enormous with very comfortable beds. As long as you don’t mind a little street noise outside your windows (very little) and you enjoy night life this is the place for you. I highly recommend this property.
