Staying at Luciana’s is to transport yourself to a lush haven that reflects a grand and interesting past.
Luciana is kindness personified. All communications with her were clear and timely.
She was kind enough to come and get me from the bus station when I was worried about a looming local bus strike….As I found out - the public system is very good and the route from the central train/bus station to Mondello is relatively straight forward.
The property is an easy flat walk from the closest bus stop. ( can I suggest that if you are heading out for day trips and returning to Mondello -when you buy the outbound ticket at the tabbachi opposite the bus stop that you get your return at the same time. The tickets are generic and can be used at any time).
The photos of the accommodation are very accurate - the decor eclectic, interesting and comfortable. This place is not for you if you want a vanilla modern hotel - like experience….it feels like a well loved home and space. It has all you need and more. The veranda was my favourite place to sit- with a wine, with a pastry or with a book. The wifi is excellent.
The beach is a 5 minute walk- i used the public beaches which were fine.
Bars / restaurants and a couple of supermarket options are all handy.
I loved my week here and can highly recommend it as a place to relax and base yourself when visiting this part of Sicily.
