Elena was the consummate host. She welcomed us with open arms like we where long time friends/family. The house is even more pretty then we imagined. This is a great place for small or large families. She surprised us with a basket for breakfast the next morning. It was greatly appreciated. The location was great. It was an easy walk to the beach, and to a lot of the nice restaurants in Mondello. When we return to Mondello (which we will) we will return to see Elena. Thanks for a great experience.
