We really enjoyed our time at Gabrielle's home. Her father met us at check-in to show us around the place and demonstrate how to keep the mosquitoes at bay. He even went out of his way to restock tea/coffee/water etc. so were fully caffeinated. We got there a couple of hours later than expected but Gabrielle was flexible which we were grateful for. Her parents live in the house upstairs so there is always someone you can speak to if anything needed. The apartment was clean, towels were provided, plenty of hot water, wi-fi good enough so no complaints.
The house is a short 5 minute drive to the beach, around a half hour on foot. There's a little grocery store near by for snacks and drinks. If you want to stroll out the house and have cafes/restaurants then I suggest you stay a little closer to Mondello town. I had expected the front area to be a little more secluded but its a pretty quiet area so no issues.
Overall I'd be happy to recommend Gabrielle's place to all!
