We stayed in Mondello for a month from mid-september to mid-october with a family of four. We had a lovely time and can definitely recommend it. Here’s something to help with your decision:
- Very comfortable walking distance to the beach even for our 3-year old. And very good conditions, swimming was possible nearly every day until the end of oct. Beach and sea are very nice and good for kids (not too deep), just a bit crowded on the weekends
- Apartment bigger than in looks in the pictures, light and roomy
- The terrace is pretty and big (and fairly save also for children, I was glad I didn’t have to worry)
- The place has everything you need (but not much more esp. in the kitchen), some pots were chipped etc, but a very generous amount of towels and sheets were provided as well as a babybed and highchair
- Federica was a bit short tailed, but always quick to respond and helped us when we wanted to stay one night longer, when AirBnB acted confusing
- The only thing that really bothered me was the sound - with stone floors, the long hallway and a rather minimalistic decor, noise seemed to grow bigger inside the place. With two kids of 3 and 1 that was a bit stressful until I got used to it...
- It would have been nice to have a written guide with more info. It took us a while to find out i.e. the washing machine only starts when you give the door a push or where to dispose glas bottles in the area
- Bus to Palermo center was better than expected, we did that every other day for a daytrip and had no trouble (but from oct on it only goes every 20 minutes)
- Parking is excellent and free in the street
- And in case you read the other post: Within the 4 weeks we were there, there was no trouble with the heater or the water at all
I think everyone will be very happy with this choice!
