Palermo / Mondello is not our typical holiday location. The local beach is very small albeit beach space can be purchased via various providers. We drove about 20km to a large beach with beautiful sea, sadly the beach is not kept clean by the local authority and was strewn with rubbish. In addition the current Covid issues change your holiday in that going out to restaurants and the like with a large family group with a wide age range not really possible.
It is here that Emilianos villa comes into its own. The grounds are huge including a large pool which provided endless hours of fun for the children (and adults). You are invited to help yourself to food grown in the garden which included Tomatoes, Limes, Lemons, Aubergines, figs just to name a few all of which were fantastic.
The villa itself is a good size with a large main room, all bedrooms also a good size. The villa is of an older type and not typical of what you would find on The Algarve for example. This is neither good nor bad. Certainly we all enjoyed the enormous space. We met Emilianos colleague Maurizio who could not have been more helpful or responsive. If you have a large family group and are looking for a mostly home based holiday this is one for you!
