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.

Fantastic helpful hosts, great location, great apartment.

Located just a couple of minutes from Quattro Canti in the heart of Palermo. Franco and Maria are fantastic hosts. Franco met us and lead us to the parking garage that he had arranged for us, helped us with our bags and got us settled in. We had a great stay.

Perfect lovation!

We couldn't have been happier with our stay! Communication from the point of making the reservation all the way through our stay and after was outstanding. The property was in an amazing location close to everything! it was clean and well appointed. Franco helped guide us through some hiccups with our luggage not making it on our connecting flight. He truly went above and beyond...we look forward to a return visit to Palermo soon!!

Fantastic Apartment & Location

The best communication by the manager. He even gave us his recommended places to see with our short time in Palermo, booked our transportation to and from the airport, and made us dinner reservations because of our very tight schedule. He went above and beyond. Would stay again.

It started long before our stay. The host went above and beyond for us. He reserved a safe place we could leave our car (which i highly recommend because parking is rough). He also booked us attwo wonderful restaurants. The apartment was just as described, wonderful. But what i didnt realize was the main area is literally like 15 steps from the apartment which was so convenient. I could go on and on. I would highly recommend this place to everyone i know traveling to Palermo!!! Thanks again for all of the added touches that made our vacation even better and less stressful. I wish every host was like you.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Petra! We appreciate them letting us check in early since our flight got in early in the day. The apartment is in a very busy area. It was a little loud at night, but we kept the windows closed and it didn't bother us. We had 4 adults and 2 teens and stayed for 2 nights. It was a little hard with there being only 1 shower, but it worked for us since it was a short stay. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. We loved the location and the fact we could walk everywhere. Would stay again! Thank you Franco!

Great apartment, amazing location!

Super comfortable apartment, with all the amenities, in a safe building. We didn't use the kitchen facilities a we found the local eating places very reasonably priced as compared to other countries we visited in Italy. The apartment is steps to the four fountains, in the heart of Palermo, many many restaurants and bars to choose from, and don't miss the local markets for some great food at reasonable prices, they really come alive at night. Enjoy this wonderful city from this beautiful apartment and fantastic location!

Location Heaven

Ideal location for seeing everything in Palermo just by walking our your door. Franco was helpful with info, airport pick-up as well greeting by his family members on arrival. We enjoyed being in the heart of Palermo and didn't mind the sounds of the Quattro Canti as we felt part of the atmosphere! Walked to all the sights/ enjoyed our breakfasts in the Casa Petra and nearby wonderful restaurants/eateries - could jog down along the harbour park/ all six of us grandkids/parents accommodated nicely. Fully recommend!

We stayed 3 nights at this wonderful condo. Pros: Franco was a perfect host, gave great recommendations, helped with reservations of transfers and restaurant! Location is in middle of all the actions, restaurants, street vendors. Condo is fully equipped, and clean. Good water pressure in shower. Common area was clean. Very safe area. Cons: can hear all the actions outside well passed midnight, hear upstairs neighbour walking and pulling furniture, shower stall a little small. Overall, highly recommend this condo! Would come back anytime.

Location, location, location

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.
