Full Description


Situated on the second floor of an historic 'palazzo' building next to the city's beautiful 'Cala' marina, Loft alla Cala is a spacious, classical apartment with modern comforts and an unbeatable location.

The City and the Sea
The marina of Palermo is home to numerous small and medium-sized pleasure craft, an idyllic spot for a stroll or a meal, at the fine sailing club or the Michellin-starred restaurant, Gagini. As the seafront curves away towards the east, the grassy expanse of the Foro Italico is a superb example of a simple urban park, standing between the sea and the old fortifications of the city's mighty walls.

Around the corner is the Vucciria market, home to Palermo's thriving nightlife and mouthwatering street-food scene. With UNESCO-protected World Heritage Sites, world class shopping, perhaps the world's most acoustically-perfect opera house and some truly unique architecture all within a short walk, this extraordinary mix of ancient and modern culture is all just outside your new front door.

Large Rooms and Ornate Touches
The 124m2 of internal space at Loft alla Cala is simply divided into two large spaces, with a couple of neat extras. The 50m2 living room benefits from a vaulted six metre ceiling overhead and authentic majolica tiling underfoot. Accented with beautiful light fittings and sturdy windows and doors, it is a versatile and spectacular room.

Doors lead to a storeroom, the little kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and best of all a lovely balcony with classical masonry. From here the view takes in not only the street below but a lovely baroque church and a picturesque piazza, while the noises of the marina float gently up on the warm sea breeze.

The bedroom has been split into two spaces with the addition of a mezzanine floor. Above is a bedroom, while the ample space below leads to another balcony, the twin of the previous one.

Location and History
Loft alla Cala is a sought-after property in a prestigious palazzo. Extensively renovated in the late 1990s, the building has since been lovingly preserved by the active condominium board. The location is almost unbeatable within the context of this magical and rapidly-modernising city. It surely won't be on the market for long.
