We are a group of six adults and had a wonderful stay at Villa Carolina. Carolina arranged a car to pick us up from the airport for Euros 35. We were met at the villa by her charming mother Anna who was so helpful during our stay - she gave us a fruit bowl and cakes on arrival, organised multiple taxis to take us to the train station and airport, offered us a ride with her into Mondello town and even did some clothes washing for us. The apartment is very clean and spacious with a nice outdoor area for dining, air con in the bedrooms and two outdoor sun loungers. The free sandy public beach is a 20 minute walk away - we were there on the weekend and it was very busy so we went to the Lido beach club instead (which is closer to the apartment). It is a chic club with a lovely outdoor bar/restaurant overlooking the sea. The loungers cost Euro 20 per day and the food and drink was very reasonably priced. It is quite rocky and a bit of a challenge to get into the sea, which is fine for adults but the sandy beach would probably be better for those with small children. Our departing flight wasn't until 9.30pm and Anna was happy for us to check out late at 7.30pm at no extra cost. Highly recommended.
