Bella Kalsa is located in an elegant Art Nouveau building from the early 1900s in the historic centre of Palermo, within the ancient Arab quarter of the same name. The two rooms have private bathrooms and bright windows overlooking the lush garden of Palazzo Jung. Stanza Luna welcomes you in an alcove bed with a private SPA equipped with a Finnish sauna and a Jacuzzi for couples. Stanza Sirio amazes you with the warmth of its furnishings, in a blaze of art and Sicilianity.

Erika is a true Palermo native, in love with her island, and a profound connoisseur of Palermo and Sicily. She is a qualified tourist guide in Spanish, French, and Italian. If you wish, she will accompany you on a discovery of this city and its many riches, revealing it to you through the lenses of history, cultural anthropology, architecture, linguistics, art...and of course, cuisine! Francesco is a former sailing wanderer, a citizen of the Mediterranean, who has finally felt at home in Palermo. He will welcome you and advise you on the city and its surroundings and, if you wish, he will let you discover the city from the sea, sailing. A free-diving instructor, he can take you to discover the most beautiful snorkeling spots not far from the centre.

The Kalsa neighbourhood blends with the city's Arab history and, at the same time, laps against the waterfront of Palermo's historic centre. The house overlooks Piazza della Magione, which is significant for the city not only for its ancient history but also for being the place where two of our fellow citizens whose memories we are most attached grew up: Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino. Here, their legacy can be breathed. But the Kalsa is also a place where astonishing monuments and sumptuous Baroque façades of ancient nobility intertwine with winding alleys like snake tails slipping down to the sea, or where intersecting roots between earth and sky of mastodontic trees devour squares stretched out like sheets to dry in the sun. And again, the Kalsa is a place of life, the real life of the people, of children playing in the square and the streets, of mothers and fathers on the benches amidst the chatter and of the nights, the clubs, the live music in the streets, all in a mixture of Sicilian and Italian and other various languages that meet and sometimes recognise each other because they had already met in a previous life.
