Loved this appartment and the town of Mondello. The appartment is fabulous. Very spacious, beautifully decorated, clean and very light. The long balcony is large and perfect for morning, lunch, dinner etc. etc. The kitchen is well equipped - we cooked nearly every day and it worked brilliantly for us. The lounge/living area is large, beautiful and light. The bed is super comfortable. The shower is great with lots of water pressure. There's a washing machine and plenty of hanging space outside to dry. There's a sun umbrella, beach towels, a cooler and ice packs, basically everything that we needed for a really great 2 week stay. The check in was super easy with codes and no keys needed - what a relief to be go out without needing keys. The code system is definitely a plus. The appartment is literally 2 seconds from the beach. We parked easily on Viale dei Pioppi just opposite. There's an abundance of great places for fab espresso, the gelato looked amazing and by the way the Italians were tucking into it with abandon, it tasted incredible. The bakery underneath makes delicious multigrain bread as well as plenty of 'dolci' that fill the air as they're being baked in the early hours. Signore Gino sells super fresh fruit and veg just under the appartment on the main street every morning from around 9.30 - 1.30. He's super nice and his produce is delicious. Some from his own land and some from other local farms. There's also a fruit and veg store in the piazza (15mins walk along the beach to the left) run by Ina and Anna and they have great produce, olive oil, wine, olives etc. etc. The water is wonderfully warm to swim in, you can also hire windsurfs, paddle boards etc. The beach is long and with lovely white sand. There's a good selection of restaurants in the centre of the town (15mins walk). Everything is close and it's all just really lovely. Palermo is about 20mins drive - really nice drive along the ocean. Trapani, the salt pans, Segesta Temple, Erice are all about 1hr30 and well worth visiting. Easy drive too. Fabio was a great host. He always answered emails before our visit very quickly, sent us plenty of information the day before, made sure that everything was good when we'd arrived and checked in along the way whilst we were there. We'd totally recommend Fabio's appartment and plan to stay again next year.
