What a wonderful villa, beautiful garden and outside space and fantastic hosts!! It is tempting not to disclose just how fabulous it is so it doesn't get booked up when we want to visit Mondello again!!
Andrea was a perfect host, very friendly and welcoming, quick to respond to questions before and during our stay, but at the same time not intrusive on our privacy.
The villa was amazing, even nicer than the photographs, very well equipped and spacious, with good quality furnishings, kitchenware etc and the location was just a couple of minutes down a level tree-lined walk to the beautiful beach, and a pleasant short walk to bars, ice cream shops, and restaurants, including the piazza and beachfront bars and facilities.
The outside space at the villa was outstanding, with a stunning garden and a choice of outdoor dining areas, and very private. A car is not essential as there are mini-markets, bakery etc in easy walking distance, and athough we didn't use it because we have friends in Mondello who took us everywhere in their cars, the 806 bus to Palermo city is only a short stroll away.
Mondello is a seaside resort and does lack shopping (clothes, shoes etc) but is ok for basic food shopping, and Palermo itself has all the shops along with the Conca D'Oro shopping mall which includes a big supermarket.
The villa is a perfect home to relax in whatever the weather.
Thank you to Andrea and Fabio for letting us stay there - we hope to see you again soon!
