I had a wonderful stay at Luciana's. The apartment is in a stunning Art Deco building and has lots of charm - beautiful old tiled floor, corniced ceiling, interesting furniture and lovely wooden shutters on the windows. The apartment is clean and comfortable, with a dinky kitchen/dinky fridge so you can cook on the hob, fix simple meals and have cold drinks on hand. Mondello has a lovely beach which is minutes away, with clear shallow water that's great for swimming and loads of great places to eat. I highly recommend getting a pastry with pistachio cream! Luciana is a very welcoming, knowledgeable host, who was happy to help me organise a trip into Palermo and to advise on local sites/places to eat.
