My 5 friends and I chose to end spring break in Sicily on the beach. This villa was worth every penny! We made meals everyday, enjoyed eating on the patio in the sun, and had a view of the ocean and the mountains! The space was comfortable and stylish but that didn’t amount to the amazing hospitality we experienced from Carolina. She had a lot of information about “must-do’s”, and even had a spread of traditional Sicilian food out for us upon our arrival. Tip: if you don’t have a car, bring your walking shoes. It’s about a 15-20 min walk to the beach. From the beach you can take a bus into Palermo (round trip 2.90€). I still recommend staying in Mondello and not the city of Palermo! Additionally, the grocery store is only 2 minutes away and has fresh pasta, produce, and meat. Something we didn’t understand was that the “provided car service” is NOT included in the bill. However, it is timely, and cheap compared to a typical taxi fare and Carolina schedules it for you! I highly recommend this Villa.
