I LOVED staying at Chiara's place. I would recommend it to everybody who wants to have a lovely place that feels like home and which is right at the beach. It was literally a 2 Min walk. The location is amazing! The apartment was decorated with a lot of love for detail. You have your own rooftop terrace with a view of the beach. In the evenings it's nice up there, a little bit of wind to cool down after a day at the beach. Chiara was so welcoming and her whole family is very lovely and warm. You will definitely feel at home when you are there. The apartment offers everything you need - you have your own kitchen (there's even one on the rooftop terrace!) and anything you need from plates, cups, olive oil, spices, fridge, BBQ... it's taken care of. Chiara can give you good recommendations on where to go in Sicily. She recommended the Natural Reserve 'Capo Gallo' which is just 10-15 min walking distance from Chiara's place and this natural reserve is BREATHTAKING. You have to go if you're staying in Mondello. The area offers really everything you need from supermarket to coffee shops, restaurants, beach... Chiara was also very helpful in figuring out bus connections with me when I wanted to do some trips to Céfalu or other nice parts of Sicily. The last night I had wine and Cannelloni with Chiara and her family and they are all really lovely people! Her son took me to the airport upon departure and it was super convenient. Totally recommend this place! I will definitely come back:) Thanks Chiara for being such a lovely host!
