Stylish Home in front of Casa Professa by Wonderful Italy
Elegant and stylish apartment inside the 18th-century Palazzo Pulvirenti, a renovated noble palace overlooking Piazza Casa Professa, where the homonymous Baroque church also known as Chiesa del GesĂč, one of the most beautiful and evocative of Palermo, stands.
The apartment is on the ground floor, with wonderful ceiling beams and stone walls that give space and height to the rooms. Together with the arches, the beams and the stone are all original elements of the era.
From the entrance you enter the living room with kitchenette; from here, through a suggestive ancient door, you enter the first double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower. The first bedroom leads to the second bedroom which also has an en-suite bathroom: this room is made special by a particular floor-to-ceiling glass that highlights the ancient majolica and stone. The rooms are communicating, and in each room there are built-in wardrobes.
In the second bathroom the sink is in stone and on one part of the floor you can admire the original majolica under the floor through a glass plate.
*Upon arrival or a few days before arrival it may be required to pay a tourist tax, which varies according to local regulations. You will find your reservation details within the Guest Area of Wonderful Italy.
*The apartment is located in the ZTL (limited traffic zone) area, therefore we suggest leaving the car in one of the nearby parking and enjoying the old town on foot.
Palermo is a vibrant and ever-changing city. Its historic center pulses with life day and night and is the subject of an urban redevelopment project. possible to hear noises due to the presence of construction sites, but also of clubs and meeting spots for tourists and residents.

We atood outside almost an hour waiting for the hostcwho was inside. If it wasnt forctwo students who helped us. Im not sure what would have happenedNot a good way to start
Clean rooms. Excellent location. Very unique interior. Not a great kitchen/ living room.But who wants to cook with so many restaurants within 5 minutes walk?
SuggestionsâŠ..the condo is in a great location, the building is awesome & history wonderful. My suggestion would be to add some coffee tables in the living room. Some place to put your bags (suitcases) in bedroom and some place to put you tooth brush & combs etc in bathroom. It was amazing to stay in this historic building.
The place was beautiful. But many of the basics were overlooked.The kitchen was adequate l. But there were no bowls. The first time have ever seen that. We had to eat cereal out of pots.The wifi was quite substandard 2G, which has not been an online standard since 2003. When I asked if it could be upgraded, I received no answer.One of the toilet seats broke. And while they sounded like they thwyvwoukd sent a repair person, none showed up.There were no garbage bags and little toilet paper. We had to replace both.The host seemed uninterested in address confusion and didn't see fit to have their in person agent do anything to assist us. To their credit they did admit the problem. But at the time the in person agent behaved as though he was the victim of the confusion, not us.The two redeeming features were the location and the apartment itself which was quite beautiful.I would also suggest that where Vrbo promotes properties on partners sites, communication should be seamless. I often had difficulty getting hold of the host on Wonderful Italy. To theirbcredit they also allowed us to do late check out because our flight out of Palermo was in the evening.
Nice place in the historic part of Palermo. 2 minute walk to the market. Overall the place is located in walking distance to port much all the historical sites of Palermo. The only downfall is the smell coming from the drains/ pipes. We had to buy deodorizers to try mask it. Expect to pay a local dude for parking if you have a car. It seemed a little shady, but our vehicle was well looked after and we were guaranteed our spot till we left. 3 days/20 euros.
Lovely architecture and great central location. Not great communication from host before or after arrival. The bathrooms were very small and being on the ground floor we could smell the sewage from the shower drains.
This property is located on the ground level of a 2-3 story building with bars on the windows that remain shuttered so relatively dark inside. Relatively high traffic area with graffiti. The entry is an unlit scooter garage for the residents above. The apartment is spacious with 2 bedrooms and a living/kitchen area. Beds were relatively comfortable. Bathrooms were okay. Cleanliness over all was not good. At check in, they ask you to send you passport via a whatsapp link. Not sure this is safe or common practice. Communication is over whatsapp or you call the help line and remain on hold for long periods of time. The pro's: relatively close to main tourist areas.The open market is a five minute walk away. The con's: not very clean, surrounding area is graffiti ridden, can't open the windows for natural light. I was here for three days and nothing was provided - not even a bottle of water. Fridge was warm. Kitchen utensils are very limited. There is a cleaning fee but they ask you to recycle, tend to the garbage and make sure all the dishes are clean. No kitchen towels were provided for this. The AC only worked in one bedroom and after 3 messages via whatsapp to report the issue, I finally reached someone on the last day. I asked for some kind of compensation for the AC and still await their reply. Its been 10 days now.
Interesting architectural features. Great location.Dark, not much natural light. Not well equipped in the kitchen.Price was good. Overall a good place to stay.
