Holiday apartment in San Paolo: Street Art, Nature and Culture

San Paolo is a destination for you if urban art, nature and cultural discoveries are to come together in the same travel concept. The “Fermata San Paolo – Stazione di Arte Urbana” is dedicated to 24 murals that have transformed the San Paolo district into an open-air museum. This makes an extraordinary motif the starting point when looking for a holiday apartment in San Paolo: here, art shapes not only individual spaces but the character of an entire district.

Art in the San Paolo district

The “QM – Quartiere Museale San Paolo” project also focuses on art in public spaces. Ten artists painted ten large walls in the San Paolo district. Together with the “Fermata San Paolo – Stazione di Arte Urbana”, this creates a clear cultural focus for anyone who wants to choose accommodation based on interesting impressions and distinctive urban themes.

Lama Balice natural area

The Lama Balice Regional Natural Park features Mediterranean, thermophilous and xerophilous vegetation. The mosaic includes agroecosystems, garrigue, tree-covered pastures and Mediterranean maquis. Thermophilous and xerophilous plants are adapted to heat and dry conditions respectively – a useful distinction for you if landscapes play an important role when choosing a holiday apartment or holiday home. Foxes (Vulpes vulpese) and hedgehogs (Erinaceus europacus) live permanently in the park. The Lama Balice Regional Natural Park is located in the immediate vicinity of San Paolo.
