LAST REVIEW
“My wife Amanda & I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Dario’s beautiful apartment. Through the entire experience, Dario exhibited excellent communication skills, making connecting once we got to Sicily very smooth. The apartment itself struck us a even more beautiful than the pictures on the listing. The location, quiet & secluded, but not all all remote, provided a perfect home base for us to explore Palermo, Carini, Villebate & Mondello. Dario offered his extensive knowledge of the area, advising us on restaurants, parking suggestions, night life options, etc. His tips were spot-on & we loved checking out everything that he recommended. The apt is well maintained, clean, large & very comfortable. As nice as it is inside, the patio & pool outside, and the views from them were breathtaking. The decor retains a classic feel, with numerous books, vintage knick-knacks, re-purposed appliances, and antique furniture combined with a modern European sectional & the relaxed feel of a foosball table. The location takes you up into the foothills from the Mediterranean, and there’s more than a few routes to take to & from the home. Make sure you take a right out of the driveway, & drive the upper road into Mondello. The views from that route are spectacular. Because we were on our honeymoon, Dario, along with the usual bottles of Coke, sparkling & still water he provides his guests, also gifted us a bottle of Prosecco. The thoughtfulness of this simple gesture was not lost on us. Its these little touches that mean so much & we heartily recommend choosing Dario & his beautiful apartment as a wonderful destination”

“einen großen Dank an Dario. Besser kann man in Palermo nicht wohnen. Ein zauberhaftes Apartment, wunderbare Kombination zwischen Antiquitäten und Moderne (Design … habe ich vergessen, sollte man erwähnen, steht vielleicht im Netz) und Kunst!!!! Das Apartment hat eine wunderbare Ausstrahlung und ist mit zwei Schlafräumen und zwei Bädern toll. Wenn man möchte, dann ist die Küche auch noch perfekt. Kühlschrank war mit dem Notwendigsten gefüllt. Wo bekommt man das schon. Sie ist ideal, um Palermo zu Fuss zu erobern. Auch die Historie des Hauses verzaubert. Die Restaurant-Empfehlungen, die Dario für uns bei Ankunft schon vorbereitet hatte, ist TOP. Das herzliche Willkommen und seine unkomplizierte, sehr symphatische Art macht einen Aufenthalt in Palermo zu einem Erlebnis. Wir kommen im nächsten Jahr definitiv wieder. Auch er ist bei uns in Berlin herzlich willkommen. Wir könnten noch weitere Details hinzufügen, aber wir hören hier auf. Sehr zu empfehlen, der Preis ist für das was man letztendlich bekommt mehr als entgegenkommend. Eigentlich kann man das überhaupt nicht bewerten. Macht Euch selbst ein Bild. Unglaublich. DANKE.”

HOUSE DESCRIPTION
The space
-entrance, living room and dining room are a unique space. Two large openings facing balcony on the interior garden;
-kitchen/living room with two large openings on the interior garden and dividing the inner road from Oratory of Saint Cita;
-double bed room with balcony on Oratory of Saint Cita, mezzanine with couch bed and writing table, private bathroom with shower and laundry zone;
-double bed room with balcony on the spacious courtyard;
-single bed room with mezzanine;
-bathroom with shower.
Unique furniture elements are interspersed a few original pieces. Nothing is left to chance.
The geometric play created by Air couches and the sinuosity of Aspen couch by Cassina, the light projected from Tuareg lamp by Foscarini and the two Counterbalance by Luceplan induce those who stay in work of fiction, imagine being in the night, along with the protagonists of the Leopard, to waltz whirling among family furnitures.
On 5th of April 1943, during the second world war, it was destroyed by bombs and remained in ruins until 2011. The mother of Prince Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa was so tied to this building by choosing to live there even after the bombing, in her rooms that had miraculously remained standing and there she died.
It is said that the Prince, after seeing the ruins of his Lampedusa house, walked for three kilometers, covered with dust, in his eyes the war and the rubble of the rooms where he was born. He didn’t talk for three days and he suffered melancholy for all his life.
In the book “Memories of childhood” Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa evokes the beauty
of what he calls the “Disappearance Amata”, he mentions the arrangement of the
original rooms.
It describes smells and colors, and the feeling he felt as a child to master all that space that looked like a kingdom.
In those pages we read:
“After seventy years Palazzo Lampedusa has been reconstructed with the purpose of the revival of the ancient residence of the prince and the two Lago Apartment Welcome were derived precisely from those rooms “survived” the bombing.
The wide interior spaces and the exterior, faithfully reported to the ancient glory, will give the traveller the sensation, even for a short stay, to relive the sound and the places where the Prince Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa spent his childhood described within the majestic houses with gold tooling, adorned with tall windows and balconies from the subtle into the ancient mirrors spotted by staff that made the palace and where he passed in review the vast halls one by one, then descended the stairs, strictly curved, and he found himself in the base, between the green of the garden.
During all life, Tomasi di Lampedusa tried to come to the idyll already described: solitary and taciturn, often richly dressed, was wandering in new dwellings lazing; now in the hands of a volume, now a letter, now a folded letter a volume. Never he had a committent, a large work, a responsability larger than read or write, he was wandering, yamned, reflecting on idyll between childhood and youth.
Not be understood nor his masterpiece, “The Leopard”, nor much of the slender stories if you do not reflect on what weight have had the years spent in the golden house, with the Sicilian sun beating intense on the big clock in the living room: blissful state and peaceful, uterine as it was protected, will be eternal and unquenchable melancholy of adult days, as an old man, old man.” (David Gilmour, in the book The last leopard”)
For the owner was instinctive choose Lago for the interior design because she loves so much Lago design and materials. Intuition, then led her to seek the solution to make available the two apartments to anyone wishing to experience captivating experience and exciting than a stay in Palermo in the “House Amata”
Together with the friend Iana, the architect Marco Bennici of studio Troja and Alessandro Currò and Luca Ferigo from Lago design, they have arranged in every single detail the interior spaces to convey strong emotions to be committed in the memory.
