We had a fantastic stay in Mondello in Gaspare's third floor apartment. We felt like we were on holidays from the moment we arrived. It was exactly as described and indeed only 2 mins to the beach. We were made to feel very welcome and looked after by Gaspare, Gabriele and Pina. The three of them worked as a team to make sure our stay was as smooth as possible. Nothing was too much trouble. Parking was easy and only €3 a day. We loved sitting out on the balcony in the evening when the kids had gone to bed. The shutters on every window meant the place was completely dark when you wanted it to be (a true blessing with little ones!). The high chair and cot were high quality. Do be aware the glass table in the living area (see pics) has pointy corners and needs lots of attention if your kids are under two and/or learning to walk. We would highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Mondello (tip: ask Gabriele where to get fresh fish, and have dinner at Trattoria da Enzo near the piazza one evening).
