Elvira and Alfredo were incredible hosts who were available for us at each step of our stay! They provided us with recommendations for local food, drinks & private taxis to take us around Sicily! The home is stunning with breathtaking views. We will be back again soon!
We enjoyed staying here, the deck is amazing with access to swim in the sea! Alfredo went above and beyond when we left a passport behind and helpful in other ways as well. Highly recommend!
Spacious property and gorgeous scenery. Very tranquil an everything is supplied for you.Very gracious and accommodating hosts. I highly recommend staying here. Hope to come back i in the future.
We loved this property. Great location in the sea and close to beautiful Mondello just outside Palermo. Our hosts were fabulous and very responsive to all of our needs. We will definitely try to return.
Great view, good location. Very nice owner. Just an fyi there is a night club about 150m from the house. Can hear the music and parking was an issue when having a late dinner.
But all and all a great place. Breathtaking views!!!
Owners are wonderful and helpful, and the location of the place between Mondello and Palermo centre is ideal. The view is incredible and the place very quiet. You can even jump into the clear wonders underneath the terrace! The apartment is traditional but very cosy, and absolutely relaxing. Will definitely return there.
Being on and in the water is required in Sicily and this property delivers. Mondello is a cute little beach town with fresh seafood and plenty of nightlife.
The house is reminiscent of visiting your favorite great aunt, the bathrooms and kitchen are dated but the back veranda on the sea more than makes up for it.

There is a great little martlet, la Bottega di Nanno where you can get prepared foods and salumiâs and cheese to enjoy Al fresco back at the house.
A nice house situated on rocks so it was hard to go swiming due to big waves. Beautiful sunrise since the house is turning east. We could swim 1,5 days out of 5. The beach in Mondello is close though. Nice host only Italian speeking. As always in southern Europe hard beds regarding standard beds in northern Europe. Bus station across the house.
Fantastic sun terraces and great access to the ocean. Also an outside shower.
Property could do with a bit of attention. Kitchen was small and needed updated. Plumbing and electrics could do with a bit of an upgrade.
Transport required to access many restaurants.
Finally we were very disappointed in the amount of rubbish on the streets of Palermo.
The waterfront view with large windows was amazing. The house is spacious and comfortable. Nicely decorated. Unfortunately no private parking on property but there was always a spot outside of the house. Showers are tight but that's to be expected in Italy. There were an abundance of mosquitoes which made it difficult to be out - perhaps host may want to consider spraying frequently. Host was very responsive and took his time to explain the house at check-in. We were surprised that we were charged extra for 5 people when the property has 3 bedrooms (this was the first time I encountered this issue) but we paid it. We enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend this house.
We loved the large terrace overlooking the sea. It is the highlight of the property, a wonderful place to share a meal or simply enjoy the view and the sound of the waves. The villa is comfortable although dated. It features a large dining table. The kitchen is small and old. Internet service is good but the small TV does not support streaming services, just Italian channels. Be aware that two villas (this one and the one below) share the common area near the rocky shore. This unit did not have its own grill/BBQ so we did all cooking indoors. Easy drive to the beach town of Mondello which has much to offer.
Beautiful spot by the sea between Palermo and Mondello
Terrific location right by the sea with a huge terrace and excellent layout for two families or couples with their own bathrooms on either side of the living room. The hosts were very friendly and approachable and the property is on the main bus route between Palermo and mondello. We would advise use of buses rather than driving in the busy city!!!
Please note - If you value a very modern venue then this would not be the place for you, it is in need of renovation, and there are very steep steps should you have serious mobility problems. But these disadvantages are outweighed by the many positives for this property.
Great 4 bedroom home in Mondello with a great seaside terrace view. The home offers 2 bathrooms, nice living/dinning room area, adequate kitchen and washer. The terraced outside space was lovely and enjoyed all day. There are a series of stairs to navigate from the street level to the home. There is another home owned by a family member directly underneath and was rented out for the weekend we stayed. Both homes share the garden and the terraced sea access. We did not swim, due to schedule and weather. Home is convenient to Palermo and Mondello with a very nice grocery store nearby. Parking is located on the street directly in front of the home. Traffic can be busy at times. Fabio and his wife kindly greeted us the evening of our arrival, our flight was delayed and they were very accommodating
Dit huis staat op een super locatie met een te gek uitzicht.
.....maar dat is helaas ook alles.
Het huis is vreselijk oud, vies en echt niet goed bij gehouden.
Daarbij kun je het toilet niet gebruiken zoals je zou willen als Nederlander en is er een douche van niks en bedden met Matrassen die echt op zijn!
Heel jammer!!!
posizione dell'appartamento strategico per vista mare e per poter accedere a visitare la provincia di palermo e trapani peccato per la poca cura dedicata alla pulizia.
This villa was amazing. The rooms are a decent size (2 bedrooms share 1 bathroom) with good closet space and aircon. Very nice living space leading into a fabulous, big terrace. The kitchen is on the smaller side but that did not bother us. There is lots of space to sit outside in the shade or lounge in the sun. The villa has direct access to the ocean which we used daily (on one occasion the sea was a bit too rough to go in, but rest of week was great). The villa is on a busy road - not noisy as house is further down, but quite a lot of traffic. Street parking was good. Proximity to Palermo and Mondello beach was good (would recommend a car). Grocery story about 8 mins drive away. Some restuarants on same street (we did not try them). The highlight is the terrace, the view and the direct access to the ocean to go for a swim.
House was mould and dirty. Pictures in Vrbo donât reflect the run down condition of the villa. No opportunity to have a swim in the sea without injuries all over the body, while getting our of the water in stormy wheather. No Staues into the des. Almost no noice although next to the main road. Not recomended.
A gem of a place with dramatic water views and under Mount Pellegrino, eight of us friends really enjoyed staying here. A comfortable and spacious house accommodated us easily. Our host found out we Canadians like toast in the morning, and immediately went out to purchase a missing toaster and a large coffee machine.
We highly recommend that visitors choose Sergio to do a walking tour of Palermo. Our host may want to include his coordinates on the suggestion sheet at the house along with maps detailing: how to find the main grocery store, and restaurants that locals recommend rather than touristy ones as well as places to visit for active travelers.
Elvira was gracious and helpful and we wish her all the best!
What a memorable stay! We were warmly welcomed by the owner who answered all our questions , provided us with the necessary info on the area. The location was idyllic . Beautiful sunrise, and to have crystal clear clean blue waters to dip into was fantastic! We rented a car which was very practical. All amenities were close by, as well as landmarks and restaurants. This was our 1st time renting, and it was an exceptional experience. Definitely, recommend staying here.
