About this property
Bright Penthouse With Terrace On Via Maqueda, In The Heart Of The City
Very bright penthouse located in via Maqueda, in the heart of the historic center, a short distance from the most important architectural and cultural treasures of the city.
The Teatro Massimo, stupendous Art Nouveau masterpiece, the Cathedral, pearl of Arab-Norman architecture in Sicily, and then San Giovanni degli Eremiti, Piazza Pretoria, La Martorana, Palazzo dei Normanni, the Archbishop's Museum, Porta Nuova, Piazza Marina: they are just some of the destinations can be reached in a few minutes of pleasant walking.
Although it is favorably placed in a central context, near the famous popular market of Ballarò, via Roma and via Ruggiero VII, very popular shopping destinations in the city, the apartment benefits from the happy positioning on the top floor of a noble palace which makes it similar to a silent and relaxing oasis in which to pleasantly immerse yourself.
Inside, in fact, you cannot help but appreciate the bright and comfortable rooms, the soft movement of the high wooden ceilings, the majolica specially made by master Seminara, the flowered terrace overlooking Via Maqueda and the balconies with splendid panoramic views of the city with its colorful roofs and the beautiful domes of its churches.
The apartment was renovated at the same time as the entire building in 2020 and has been furnished with loving care to ensure the most pleasant and comfortable stay possible.
Inside it consists of two beautiful air-conditioned bedrooms, well furnished with large beds and orthopedic mattresses.
From a spacious and comfortable double living room with a large 49 inch television, overlooking the beautiful flowered terrace, attractive and well equipped with comfortable armchairs where you can rest and a table and chairs for eating outdoors.
From a modern and independent kitchen with every accessory necessary for cooking, and from a bright and comfortable bathroom with window.
A walk to the Ballaro' market, which is located just one hundred meters away from the apartment, is an enchanting event not to be missed: you will discover an itinerary of high artistic and cultural value, which leads from the Cathedral to the Teatro Massimo , flanking stalls of colorful and lively food products.
Considered among the most authentic markets in the city in terms of gastronomic offer and product quality.
Pleasant mix of voices, smells and colours, a corner of the city where time seems to have stopped.
The area in which the apartment is located is well equipped with public transport services and is located a short distance from the bus stop coming from the airport, from the shuttles that carry out tourist tours of the most beautiful architectural attractions of the historic center and from the bus stop that takes you to the beautiful beach of Mondello.
In the surrounding area there are numerous clothing and footwear shops, restaurants, pizzerias, trattorias, kiosks, wine bars, ice cream bars and pastry shops where you can taste the irresistible delicacies and extraordinary products of the renowned Sicilian Culinary Art, appreciated throughout the world for its its goodness and the richness of its flavours.
All rooms are equipped with Wi-Fi Internet.
Utilities, Wi-Fi internet, sheets, bath towels, included in the rental price.
Transfer service from the airport to the apartment and vice versa available for a fee.
Equipped kitchen: including oil, salt, sugar, coffee etc.
The ancient building that houses the apartment, together with the apartment itself, has been recently renovated with the utmost attention to aesthetic and functional aspects, fully respecting the historical and architectural characteristics of the structure.
A few steps from the building there are two other apartments of ours that can be booked, write to us for this specific request.

What makes this property unique
The flowery terrace overlooking Via Maqueda that makes it similar to a silent and relaxing oasis in which to plunge pleasantly, with the splendid panoramic views of the city with its colorful roofs and the beautiful domes of its churches.
