A fantastic property in the Beverly Hills of Palermo - this is what Mondello is. Twelve minutes on foot to the beach. An exceedingly pleasant villa which is spick and span throughout, spacious and comfortable. All that is needed is in place. Street parking only, but there is plenty of space to park safely and comfortably nearby. A very good grocery store, Familia, is a few minutes drive away, and the hosts are very helpful with all the local tips. We came with two dogs and they were completely over the moon with the Sicilian kindness to domestic animals and universal patience of everyone to them. Our particular bonus was the Parco della Favorita, a huge, enormous park full of joggers, dog walkers and families, with tangerine groves at the foothill of the Monte Pellegrino (also plenty of hiking trails, just park the car on the street by the fence of the park). There is a huge dog enclosure for unleashed dogs near the stadium in the park - a size of a football pitch. A drive to Palermo Old Town would take us 25 minutes and we used guarded undergroud parks - two euros per hour or less for a complete peace of mind. There is a great cleaning service for an additional charge, twenty-one euros. We have used AirBnBs all over the world but this is completely exceptional.
