I loved staying here. I booked a month long stay and picked Casa Nonna Sara because I wanted an outdoor space to work in. The yard is great and the house gets so much light which I loved. The neighborhood is low density, very verdant, and near Mondello, which is another cute neighborhood. Palermo surprisingly felt like a global city, especially compared to Catania, so the overall vibe was good.
I was able to get around with just a Dott scooter and the bus. I was able to order groceries from Connie and receive orders from Amazon, etc., which was great. I would say that it might be nice to identify the house with ‘2b’ because the delivery guys don’t realize there are two homes on the property.
The road along the coast is so nice for running and Mondello beach is a quick scooter ride away, although I recommend going on weekdays because it gets very crowded.
The house itself has plenty of storage space and even a mini fridge in the bedroom. The kitchen set did make me feel like I was staying at grandmas house, which was cute. There were a couple of issues with leaks that did kind of rain on my parade, but I still loved the place anyway. Recommend it 100%
