About this property

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 an excellent 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 characteristic and artistic apartment with separate entrance on the ground floor, for two people: VRBO No. 10665285: “Arké Suite,” with archaeological excavations and art furniture.
Apartment with all amenities, quiet, private while being in the heart of the “movida”. All amenities are included, bathrooms and kitchen were renovated in March 2024 with Sicilian art tiles.
The apartment is on the second floor of an ancient palace of medieval origin, Palazzo Mango, where in the early 1500s the famous sculptor Antonello Gagini lived and had his workshop; the palace was completely renovated in the second half of the 1500s and then again renovated in the late 1700s in the version that has come down to us. Many illustrious people lived here: from the sculptor Antonello Gagini to the famous historian and heraldist Antonino Mango di Casalgerardo, after whom the palace is named, and finally the statesman Francesco Crispi, remembered by the large marble plaque placed on the main front of Via Vittorio Emanuele.
The apartment features the characteristic medieval arrangement 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. The apartment has an area of about 120 square meters: it is accessed by climbing 2 flights of the Carrara marble staircase (23 steps in all); after the front door you go down 7 more steps. The apartment consists of a TV room with a sofa, a large living room with a large sofa, a dining room, a double bedroom, 2 bedrooms with two single beds; a nice independent eat-in kitchen equipped with all amenities with a table and a small balcony, two comfortable and nice toilets with bathtub, shower and bidet, recently renovated. Heating with radiators, independent air conditioning in bedrooms, portable fans available. Pearl marble floors from Custonaci.
Mandatory to agree in advance on time of arrival. Only place-conscious and non-noisy guests accepted; final cleaning and deposit required.

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.

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.

Great apartment highly recommend
We are a family of 4 and had a fantastic stay at this apartment! The apartment is spacious and located right in the heart of the city, making it incredibly convenient for exploring everything by foot. Despite being in such a central location, it was surprisingly quiet at night, ensuring a restful sleep. The host was exceptionally friendly and responsive, providing all the information I needed for a smooth stay, including a list of great local restaurants. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Palermo!

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.

Magical Vacation in Palermo
We loved our two weeks at this beautiful property in the heart of Palermo. The location was perfect with everything in walking distance: fantastic restaurants, shopping, the Cattedrale di Palermo and more. Our host, Virginia Fatto, was exceptionally attentive to our needs. professional, and a lovely person who made us feel at home. The apartment was spacious, very clean and beautifully decorated in authentic Italian style. We loved the paintings, many done by her son, and the furnishings, high ceilings, and even a TV with Netflix which my grandson enjoyed. Thank you to Virginia for making this trip to Palermo perfect. We hope to return and stay at Palazzo Mango again!

Charmantes historisches Appartement in Palermos Altstadt
Zentral im Viertel Il Capo (Monte di Pietà) direkt neben der Kathedrale gelegen. Herrlicher historischer Altbau-Charme und angenehmes Flair durch die hohen Decken. Das Atrium beim Betreten des Gebäudes ist jedesmal ein Erlebnis mit den marmorierten Aufgangstreppen zum Eingang. Die beiden Bäder sind mit den farbenfrohen Fliesen im antiken Stil ein Highlight des Appartments. Zwei kleine Balkone mit Blick auf die Altstadtgasse. Fußläufig ideal gelegen für Ausflüge in die gesamte Altstadt, zum Hafen aber auch zu den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln mit Bus und Zug. Wir haben Ausflüge zum Stadion, auf den Monte Pellegrino sowie nach Mondello unternommen. Die Gasteberin Virginia antwortete im Vorfeld immer in Minutenschnelle und bei der Ankunft war es kein Problem schon früher das Appartment zu beziehnen. Sogar die Betten waren schon bezogen. Wir würden das Appartment jederzeit wieder buchen.

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.
