Casa Santa Sofia is a very cozy, bright and quiet apartment. Thanks to its location on the highest floor of an ancient palace of the seventeenth century and a panoramic "tower", it offers a terrace with a 360-degree view of the roofs and domes of the historic city. The house is on several levels and offers bright and architecturally interesting spaces. The rooms offer a splendid view and are very quiet thanks to the distance from the busy streets. Casa Santa Sofia is a very cozy, bright and quiet apartment. Thanks to its location on the highest floor of an ancient palace of the seventeenth century and a panoramic "tower", it offers a terrace with a 360-degree view of the roofs and domes of the historic city. The house is on several levels and offers bright and architecturally interesting spaces. The rooms offer a splendid view and are very quiet thanks to the distance from the busy streets. I have paid particular attention to the furniture and decoration, also using different objects made by hand (many by me). The Palazzo Atanasio Montededero is very fascinating, with a court rich in history and a noble staircase full of views.
My name is Pierpaolo, 47, I am an architect with a passion for design. I myself lived in this apartment and I renovated it with my own hands, also furnishing it with some objects made by me, so it gives me a special pleasure to host you in "my" space.. I love dialogue and exchange with people from all over the world and it will be a pleasure for me to welcome you in the apartment and help you discover this fascinating city full of contrasts by giving you pieces of information and tips. I hope to meet you soon!
Corso Vittorio Emanuele is the main street of the historic city, so you'll just have to walk it along in both directions and you'll discover many monuments and interesting views, as much as many restaurants and cafès. The ancient mercato of Vucciria is just 60m away, and the Quattro Canti crossroad (center of the old city) is just 300m away, where you'll find the other main street of the city, via Maqueda. It'd be impossible to list all the interesting places to see, so according to your taste and needs, it'll be a pleasure to suggest you where to go. All you need to know now is that in 1 km radius there are much more amazing places than you can visit :-)
