Corallo — two-bedroom apartment in a historic palazzo in Trapani, Sicily

Corallo occupies 160 sqm on the second floor of the 16th-century palazzo. Its name is a homage to Trapani's coral tradition and to the collection of the family who have lived here for generations.

You enter through a modern island kitchen with a worktop in the local Perlato di Custonaci marble and an original period floor. The living room is wide and welcoming, with an ancient wall of Trapani tuff uncovered during the restoration and a large glass dining table from the 1980s.

The first bedroom has exposed wooden beams, cementina tiles and a Tunisian-style wooden bed with a large wardrobe; its bathroom is spacious, with a shower. The second bedroom, also a double, has its own bathroom lined in sky-blue Moroccan tiles.

There is a washing machine and a large storage room. Art and mid-century pieces run through the whole apartment, held together by the historical architecture.
