Casa di tufo is an apartament with a unique character, like all the old homes. A wonderful arch of tufo stone, in a warm gold color, welcomes at the entrance. It 'an original arch dating back to the early twentieth century, period of construction of the noble building where the apartment is located. This arch is the one that made us fall in love with this house the first time when, with my boyfriend and now husband, we visited it. The high ceilings and the ancient inner courtyard, completely renovated make the charm of this small building in the heart of Palermo. You'll see, you too, you will be conquered!

Journalist and mum. . Few words to describe me: books, sea, travel and words. Those who write and those who think.

Since the end of Via Cavour, turning the corner of the street, part of a beautiful and suggestive walk with sea views on the moorings of boats where they meet pretty local for a drink and snacks. These include the Calamida, for a delicious aperitif by the sea. The Wednesday during the summer is a party in the room with music, drinks and snacks. And crossing the coast you will reach the historic center: Piazza Marina with its ancient trees. Garibaldi in the villa you can read a book in the shade of the oldest ficus in Europe. In the square on Sunday held a quaint antique market. Palazzo Steri guards the mysteries of Palermo, with its seventeenth-century Inquisition prisons. The old town is all a discovery: ancient palaces, frescoes, vaults and Liberty buildings that are discovered as if by magic eyes of the visitor. The neighborhood where the apartment is located offers restaurants, bars, grocery stores, two pharmacies, supermarkets, butchers and several artisan bakeries where you can taste the bread made from ancient grains Tumminia, cookies and homegrown treats.
