Appartamento Andrea – Elegant and Characterful Third-floor Renovated Apartment in Palermo with Three Bedrooms, Moments from the Teatro Massimo and the New Marina

Appartamento Andrea is a renovated 113 m² apartment with three bedrooms and two bathrooms in Palermo’s central Politeama district. On the third floor of a palazzo with a lift, it is sold largely furnished and has two balconies, independent heating and a recent history as a B&B.

A Renovated Palermo Apartment with Traditional Character

Appartamento Andrea occupies the third and penultimate floor of a handsome palazzo on Via Francesco Bentivegna, a street of historic buildings in the Politeama quarter. The markets and nightlife of the old town are close enough to enjoy whenever you want their buzz, while the Teatro Massimo is just a few minutes away on foot.

The renovation combines modern comfort with the character of the original building. Vaulted ceilings, distinctive floors and a mosaic-tiled bathroom give this renovated apartment in Palermo plenty of traditional Sicilian charm.

Until recently, the apartment operated as a B&B. Its three bedrooms and two bathrooms, arranged around a spacious kitchen, also offer a practical layout for a family or couple moving to Sicily.

It would be equally appealing as a second home in Sicily’s vibrant capital. From here, you can explore the historic centre on foot, spend an evening at the opera or stroll down to the restaurants and waterfront promenades at Palermo Marina Yachting.

The apartment is sold largely furnished, with the principal pieces shown in the virtual tour included. The exact inventory can be agreed during the purchase process.

The Property

The recently restored façades, substantial shared entrance door and chequerboard lobby make a welcoming first impression. The communal spaces retain traditional architectural details, and a recently installed lift serves the apartment’s floor.

The home has two separate entrances. The main entrance, fitted with a reinforced security door, opens from the shared stairwell. The second opens from the lift landing directly into the kitchen, a useful arrangement when bringing home shopping or luggage.

Beyond the main entrance, a spacious hallway leads to the different parts of the apartment. Straight ahead is the first bathroom, finished with contemporary tiling and modern sanitaryware. Next comes the kitchen, a generous room fitted with units and appliances, with plenty of space for a dining table.

A door from the kitchen opens into the first bedroom, a bright room with a small balcony overlooking the street. If you do not need three bedrooms, this room could instead become a separate lounge beside the kitchen, keeping the balcony as a pleasant spot for morning coffee.

A corridor continues towards the other bedrooms. The second is a spacious, light-filled double room with its own small balcony. The third faces an inner courtyard and has an en-suite bathroom, making it a comfortable main bedroom or guest room. A practical storeroom completes the layout.

The electrics and plumbing have been renewed. Independent heating is provided by a mains gas boiler supplying the radiators and domestic hot water, while double-glazed windows help with thermal comfort and sound insulation.

The apartment is connected to mains water and sewerage, and the owners have installed a 500-litre reserve water tank. On the ground floor, near the lift, a large communal room provides space for bicycles or scooters, subject to the building’s rules.

Condominium charges are reported at approximately €60 per month. Air conditioning is not currently installed.

Surroundings

Via Francesco Bentivegna is a convenient residential address between Palermo’s waterfront and the streets around Via Maqueda. Cafés, restaurants, shops and the evening passeggiata are all part of daily life in this central neighbourhood.

Nearby, Palermo Marina Yachting has brought new life to the Molo Trapezoidale, with waterfront paths, restaurants and bars beside the harbour. The historic harbour of La Cala is also within easy reach.

The Teatro Massimo is just a short walk away. The Teatro Politeama is less than a kilometre from the apartment, with the boutiques of Via Libertà beyond it.

Heading south along Via Roma brings you towards the historic centre. The Quattro Canti and Piazza Pretoria are roughly a kilometre away on foot, with the Cathedral and Norman Palace further on. For street food and evening atmosphere, the Vucciria is close by, while Borgo Vecchio offers another traditional market to explore.

Daily shopping is straightforward, with supermarkets, small food shops and the Rinascente department store nearby. Palermo Centrale, at the southern end of Via Roma, provides rail connections to destinations including Cefalù and Agrigento.

By car, Mondello’s beach is approximately 12 km away and Monreale, with its celebrated cathedral, around 15 km inland. Falcone-Borsellino international airport is roughly half an hour away, depending on traffic.

A Family Home or Holiday Rental

The apartment’s recent use as a B&B and its three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout make it worth considering for holiday accommodation. The owners report satisfactory bookings throughout the year, although no verified income figures are provided here. Past occupancy should not be taken as a guarantee of future performance.

If you wish to continue operating tourist accommodation, the required registrations and administrative procedures will need to be checked for the new ownership. We can help coordinate this with local professionals.

For buyers considering holiday letting, the lift, two bathrooms and central location are useful features. Our sister company Solemar Sicilia can assist with bookings, guest arrivals and cleaning.

The main improvement we would suggest is air conditioning. Adding suitable units would make summer stays more comfortable, with the installation arrangements to be assessed for the apartment and building.

Our project management service can coordinate local craftspeople for this work or help you adapt the first bedroom into a lounge, even while you are abroad.

As a permanent home, Appartamento Andrea offers generous space in a neighbourhood where much of daily life can be enjoyed on foot. Our Welcome to Sicily after-sales service can help with the practical steps of settling in.
