This is a dream villa and location. We were a group of nine which the villa easily accommodated. The villa itself was well furnished with lovely, clean bedrooms and bathrooms and all the necessary equipment (dishwasher, toaster, towels etc.). It even has a large TV with Sky TV, table football and a table tennis table.
The one bedroom which has no air conditioning was no problem at all personally - it's perfectly fine with a fan.
The star of the show is the villa's pool. It's surrounded by a beautiful garden with a lovely view over Mondello. You can have endless amounts of fun in it with its shallow and deep end. The diving board is no longer there; however, there is still a small platform to jump off. The pool is roughly a 20 metre walk from the house/kitchen but we managed fine when bringing lunch/dinner out to the pool-side dining table.
Mondello itself is a beautiful town. It's got an array of fantastic restaurants/bars/ice cream shops and a very long beach. The beach is sandy with clear water - it was quite busy when we went but you can pay for sun bed spots. The beach is about a 20-25 minute walk from the house but we ended up using the electric scooters everyday (you can download an app on your phone) which shortened our journey immensely.
You're only a short 30/40 min drive from Palermo which we did a couple of times to enjoy the city's streets, restaurants and bustling night life.
We didn't hire a car ourselves but it may be a good idea to do so to get around and visit other beaches and towns, although you can get taxis and Mondello had everything we needed for our one week holiday.
Emiliano is a brilliant host. He was able to recommend us the best local restaurants, boat hire, go karting, a local golf course, taxis, nature reserves etc.. He was always on hand to help but also let you enjoy your holiday in peace.
Would definitely recommend this Villa. We're planning to come back in the future!
