ApartHotel in Palermo
In the heart of Palermo’s historic centre and its lively crossroads of ancient history and culture, we present seven elegant and comfortable apartments containing the essence of the Planeta family’s hospitality, already offered at our five different wineries in various areas of Sicily and at La Foresteria resort at Menfi. At the Apart Hotel, in the heart of Palermo’s historic centre, we offer our guests all the comforts of a Hotel with the amenities of an apartment.
The Palace
A historic palazzo, dating from the early 1900’s, part of the building looking over Piazza Ignazio Florio which is our family residence, and today a place where you are welcomed, offering you the exclusive opportunity of staying in a home rich in history and at the same time enjoying an informal family atmosphere.
The historic building in the heart of the historic centre which today contains our Palermo Apartments was built in the early 1900’s behind the one looking over Piazza Florio which for many years had already been our family residence. Together they form an architectural complex full of history belonging to the extensive collection of Planeta memories and at the same time echo centuries of Palermo’s history and its beating heart, from the cathedral and Piazza Politeama, to the sumptuous Teatro Massimo and the lanes of Olivella.
Once in Via Principe di Belmonte you will see the large relic of a bomb from the second World War displayed on the façade of the Planeta family building, a witness of the 1943 bombing which destroyed a large part of it; Grandfather Vito organised its rapid rebuilding, and wished to preserve this harsh warning of the horrors of war, by conserving it in our collective memory. We will tell you many other stories during your stay in our Apartments…
Palermo Experiences
Close to the port of Palermo and the sea, which is a feature of the urban landscape, you can access the city centre directly by choosing one of our apartments to stay in; and from the main streets with their handsome Liberty facades to the maze of lanes which will enable you to discover all the cultural impressions impressed on the city over the centuries, from Arab-Norman to baroque.
