My family and I stayed at this place for 16 nights from the end of June to beginning of July.
It's busy hot season in Sicily and this house was among the few options still available on airbnb when we booked our stay.
The house we stayed couples with a second property within the large garden area. Both houses share same entrance and some common exterior area.
The house seemed to be a prefabricated one recently installed in place, everything inside is of decorous quality and basically new.
Bed's mattresses were new and comfortable.
Kitchen is well equipped and the fridge is of average European size. it was large enough for us.
the 2 bathrooms were also of solid standards.
One little note on the small bathroom sink: it had only hot water available, not cold.
Pros:
- Location: You stay close to Mondello beach and surrounding, busy tourist destination for locals and international tourism.
- Cleanness: the property is new and the host replaced our bathroom towels and bed sheets with clean one whenever we asked.
- The host is pretty responsive and eager to please you. She brought us several times fresh fruits from her garden.
Cons:
- At night several dogs staying in the host garden adjacent to the property bark. This has heavily disturbed our sleeping time.
- Next to the property entrance on the street are city garbage bins. Next to it the sidewalk is full of piloting leftovers mixed with trash that were not collected by the city service. You basically see that trash daily as you come in and out of the property (google map image shows that as well, I guess they have been there for quite some time).
- Internet connection: Although the coverage is good showing 4 bars on your device, the dish service in place has not enough strength. If for example you watch a video, this gets stop several time.
- Summer season in Sicily is hot. While the property has a nice and large garden, this is more a winter garden with no tall trees or vegetation that shadows the sunlight. When home on our stay, during the day and at time during the night we stayed indoor with AC on.
- As the Airbnb post states: check out is at 10am. The host is inflexible on it and better to properly consider it on travel plans.
