We have wonderful vacation in Sicily, mostly due to Carolina and her mother Anna who live next door. Both hostess were very helpful by every point -they gave us a lot of useful info, helped with finding car with drivers (as we had problems with rent a car services), booked for us restaurant and so on. What about villa: very nice and clean, well equiped, you have almost everything you need - from cooking equipement till conditioner in every bedroom. Villa is located near the rocket beach (3 min walking). Mondello sand beach is about 10 min walking. There is also good restaurant and supermarket close to the villa. Way to Palermo is about 15- 20 min by car, airport - 30 min by car. Mondello is a quite place, but there are many restaurants in the village. So it is suitable as for family vacation, so as for company of friends. Highly recommended if you want to stay not far from Palermo, enjoy beatiful clean blue sea and have comfortable house with perfect hostess!
