Elegant, quiet, large apartment in Palazzo Mango, beautiful heart of old Palermo

Comfortable elegant and spacious 3-bedroom double apartment in the heart of the historic center, in a great location 2 minutes from Palermo Cathedral, easily accessible by any means: there is no better place to visit the city comfortably on foot. Note: in the same building we have another apartment with separate entrance on the ground floor, for two people: VRBO No. 10665285: "Suite Arké", with floors on archaeological excavations and art furniture.
La Foresteria offers you all the comforts and is a quiet and private apartment, an oasis in the heart of Palermo's “movida.” All services are included and the bathrooms and kitchen were renovated in March 2024 with Sicilian artistic majolica tiles.
The apartment has the characteristic medieval layout of rooms around a small private central courtyard from which the interior rooms take light. Charmingly furnished and equipped with all amenities, the base price is for 2 people. Heating, air conditioning, fast wi-fi internet connection, washing machine, television, microwave oven, toaster, hair dryer, bed and bath linens, soap and detergent are included. Area about 130 sq m: accessed by going up 2 flights of the Carrara marble staircase (23 steps in all); after the front door you go down 7 more steps. There is a TV room with sofa, a spacious living room with large sofa, a dining room, a bedroom with double bed, 2 bedrooms with twin beds; a large independent kitchen equipped with all conveniences with table and small balcony, two comfortable and beautiful toilets with bathtub, shower and bidet, newly renovated. Independent air conditioning in bedrooms, portable fans available.
Mandatory to agree in advance on arrival time. Only place-conscious and non-noisy guests accepted; final cleaning fee and security deposit required.
There is no elevator; due to the stairs, the apartment is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties.
Your safety is close to our hearts: we offer external video surveillance, external night light on the street, light on in condominium spaces at night, video intercom, security lock. It is mandatory to turn off lights and all electrical equipment including air conditioners when you leave the house.
Contribution for electricity consumption over 10Kw/day, for stays from 4 days: 1€ per kw.: electricity consumption will be marked on arrival and departure. At check-in we will ask you to leave your ID/passport details for declaration to the police.

Best possible location, it is close to the heart of Palermo: Cathedral, 4 canti, corso vittorio emanuelle, etc. Property is large and comfortable. Friendly host that gives you all the information you need at arrival. Despite being close to central Palermo it is quiet and not noisy.

Great Palermo Trip!!
This was a great place to stay. There were 6 of us and it worked well for everyone. The location was great! It was close enough to walk to all of the key sites and food. Virginia and her daughter were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. They made the trip very easy and pleasant. It was a great trip!

Wonderful flat
Old world charm and new world comfort: soaring ceilings, marble everything, beautiful art plus ac and great wifi. Steps from all the restaurants and sites of downtown Palermo. Plenty of room to spread out. Virginia is a very gracious host and we really appreciated all her help and advice!

Property was just as advertised!
We stayed for 5 nights. Lovely apartment with a good space for 4 active senior women. The owner was very helpful with background history of Palermo, and the building. We went to a few of the recommended restaurants which were all good. We were very close to the Piazza del Duomo and found a lovely little cafe/restaurant for breakfast right round the corner.

The Middle of the old city of Palermo
It is nearly next to the famous cathedral and on the corner of Via Scuoli and Via Victor Emmanuelle and a stone’s throw from Quattro Canti. The apartment is large, stylish, and historic. Virginia is nearby, amusing, and helpful. We found it a fabulous place to stay.

Polermo visit
Our host, Isabella was excellent with all aspects of communication. The accommodation had a full working kitchen, 2 bathrooms and plenty of space to spread out. It was right in the centre of the old walled town, lots of bars, restaurants and shops around us. It was a easy walk the the train station. We were surrounded by many historical sites.

Palermo’s finest
Our family enjoyed an elegant, comfortably furnished and artistically decorated apartment located on a pedestrian boulevard. Bathrooms and kitchen are nicely updated. Marble floors and three balconies add charm and access to fresh air and outside views. There are clothes lines outside the balconies. Outlet adapters were available throughout the apartment. With easy access to historic sites, markets and vibrant nightlife, the apartment is close to everything and we felt safe. Virginia communicated clearly and promptly from our initial booking to our meeting at check-in. She reviewed a city map pointing out restaurants, markets, and public transportation. It was as great place to stay and she is an excellent host.

Great location in Palermo
We enjoyed our stay. It was a great location next to the Palermo Cathedral and easy walking distance to the Norman Palace and the Massimo Theater. Good cafes and restaurants are very close. Markets/Supermarkets are not overly close. As my wife as mobility issues, the only drawback is that the picture shown is for one rental and then our apartment was up another set of stairs to the right. The apartment was quite spacious, 2 large bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, 2 sitting rooms and 2 bathrooms. Given the opportunity to return, we would check into staying at Virginia's apartment once again.

Perfectly Placed in Palermo
Take the host’s word for it when she tells you to leave your car in the underground lot at the edge of town! This place was right in the middle of the active, ancient, tiny streets of Palermo. It was an easy walk to the Four Corners landmark which was the starting point of several of our tours, both guided and self-led. Ours was the second floor of this three-story home. Cool stone floors and air-conditioning made it the perfect respite between outings in the heat of July. I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Palermo!

A great experience!
We stayed here for two months, Dec 2022 thru Jan 2023 and wish we could have stayed longer. Virginia is wonderful. When we arrived she had thoughtfully decorated the apartment with a Christmas theme. Could not have ask for a more gracious and generous host. The apartment is spacious, two huge bedrooms each with its own balcony and one small bedroom. Great kitchen with everything you need to create your meals. A dining room, a TV room and a comfortable living room gives you the space to spread out. Two bathrooms is a big plus! The location is perfect. You can walk everywhere, restaurants, the markets, museums and landmarks. The only disappointment was that we had to leave!

Liked: Check-in
Living in a Palace
We enjoyed our stay for the most part in this very spacious apartment. Even though it's an odd arrangement with the two bathrooms far from the bedrooms, we adjusted. Our feedback: Although Virginia knew approximately what time we would arrive, we could not get a response from her via email, two phone calls and buzzing the doorbell when we arrived. So we waited about 90 minutes with our baggage at a bar on the street. When we talked to her about it, she said it was our fault since she didn't get our messages or any phone calls. Later in the discussion, she exclaimed when she saw our phone number on her calls list, but did not apologize for telling us she hadn't received our calls, saying only well my phone wasn't near the wifi. One suggestion concerns the kitchen supplies. The pots and pans need upgrading and the electric kettle replaced since it has calcification throughout it. Also, there were NO kitchen linens provided--no tea towels at all. We bought multiple rolls of paper towels to compensate. Otherwise, we enjoyed the spaciousness of the apartment, and the standing fans, which are necessary to use as we had to sleep with the windows closed to keep out mosquitoes.

Excellent Host in an Excellent Location
Virginia, was a spectacular host. I completely botched the day I was flying out and had to arrive at the property at 0900 instead of 2350. Virginia adjusted smoothly. She had the taxi that was originally scheduled for 2350 moved up to meet us at 0900, she met us at the apartment, and sat with us to go over some of the best attractions and places to eat. She was magnificent. The apartment was beautiful in the heart of old town Palermo. Plenty of space, clean, and comfortable. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Wonderful Rental Steps from the Heart of Palermo
We had a great time staying at this property. The check in process was easy with the owner who lives in the same building. The building itself is right next to the Norman Cathedral and a three minute walk from the Quattro Canti. The unit itself was spacious and well kept. There were sufficient amenities on site, including a washer. Would highly recommend.
