Solemar Sicilia- Palazzo Vetrano Centro storico

We had a fantastic week at Palazzo Vetrano and were warmly welcomed by the owners, Torgit and Marc, an impressive German couple. Marc even came along with us for a little Balero Trip. The apartment was nicely furnished to a high standard, with a peaceful patio and terrace. It’s in an old townhouse with direct access to the famous Balero market and Palermo’s ancient center. The harbor and a great choice of restaurants are nearby too. We’ll come back next year to explore more of Palermo and the region, including its amazing beaches and breathtaking madonien Mountains.

I felt safe staying here on my own and had a fantastic time at Palazzo Vetrano. I’d love to come back. The owners, Torgit and Marc, are warm-hearted, well-traveled people, and their QR code on the fridge links to their personal map of Palermo recommendations, which I thought was a neat touch. There’s free Wifi and individually adjustable A/C in every room. The apartment is gorgeous, with a stylish, cozy, and practical interior full of thoughtful details. From the hammock in the interior patio, you can relax at night, or listen to the distant sounds of the city over breakfast, voices from Ballarò market, Italian music, and a honking car. It almost made me pinch myself to check I wasn’t dreaming. Everything seemed walkable, from the many ancient churches and historic sights to the street food market, shops, and restaurants.

The terrace is a peaceful little oasis, and every room has so many lovely details. One of the most beautiful apartments I’ve ever stayed in.

The hosts made us feel at home straight away, and they know Palermo incredibly well. Marc can point you to the best gelato, knows every church, and has plenty of hidden gems most tourists would miss. You can tell he loves the city and enjoys sharing what he knows. We highly recommend his guided tours, which you can book through the palazzo website by sending an inquiry. The apartment sleeps four, with two large bedrooms and comfortable double beds, plus a spacious, stylish kitchen-living room that’s fully equipped. Every room is generous in size, tastefully furnished, and air-conditioned, with lots of creative touches and thoughtful details. The beds worked well for taller people, too, and were very comfortable. It’s right in the heart of Palermo, with many sights, restaurants, and squares an easy walk away. We had a wonderful stay and felt comfortable from the first moment. A great place if you want to experience Palermo authentically.
