Una favola
Abbiamo soggiornato con la mia nipotina di 10 mesi e siamo stati benissimo. Il tutto in un contesto meraviglioso con giardino e piscina in una villa da favola. Francesco e Cinzia, i proprietari, ci hanno accolto con molta gentilezza e disponibilità. Siamo stati benissimo. Grazie infinite per tutto, sicuramente da ripetere. Buona estate

Happy, healthy holiday!
What a fantastic week we just had in Mondello. A perfect 'get away' for two in a small but well equipped apartment with palm trees, mountains and blue skies all around. Francesco and his wife create a fun, relaxed vibe impossible to ignore and the beach is a few steps away!

Magia
Abbiamo scelto di iniziare la nostra vacanza in Sicilia proprio da qui. Avevamo letto commenti entusiasti sia sulla location che sui due proprietari, Cinzia e Francesco e siamo quindi arrivati con alte aspettative. L’accoglienza ricevuta è stata incredibile, si è instaurato da subito un rapporto di amicizia e fiducia che ha fatto sì che la permanenza fosse avvolta da un aura quasi magica e fuori dal tempo. Ascoltare i brani suonati da Francesco al sax ed i racconti di Cinzia sulla Sicilia ci ha fatto innamorare di questa regione ancor prima di conoscerla. Grazie Cinzia, grazie Francesco! Speriamo di tornare al più presto a trovarvi.

Studio fonctionnel avec belle terrasse dans un jardin clos sur la plage de Mondello à 7 km de Palerme
Notre studio, à l'ombre de la grande maison de style de nos hôtes, était idéal pour séjourner sur la côte à 20 mn en bus de Palerme. Nous avons pu jouir d'une belle terrasse privative, du beau jardin clos et de la piscine. Il suffit de traverser la route devant le portail pour profiter de la plage et de ses animations. Palerme est d'une beauté à couper le souffle mais ce qui nous a le plus touchés c'est l'accueil généreux de Francesco et Cintha, leur bonne humeur, leur discrétion et leur attention pour nous rendre le séjour agréable. Oui nous reviendrons sûrement.

About the neighbourhood
Mondello is one of the most elegant districts of Palermo. It is famous for its white sand beach and the mountains that surround it, where you can free climb. Mondello originated in the beginning of the 1900s. It soon became a resort of the Aristocratic class which has embellished it with beautiful villas in "Nouveau" style some even designed by E. Basile. In the old fishing village there are pizzerias, ice cream and sandwich shops, cafès, and restaurants where you can enjoy fresh fish and all the culinary specialties of Palermo. The usually mild Sicilian climate, offers sunbathing and swimming in the warm water of the sea from the months of March-April until October-November. There are several sailing clubs where you can rent boats and windsurfing equipment. Mondello still hosts the annual World Windsurf Festival. The surrounding mountains are a favourite destination for lovers of free climbing.
Getting around
The bus stop for the center of Palermo is just a five minute walk from the house. In approximately 20-25 minutes you can reach the city center. During the summer period, a free shuttle service is available to and from Mondello Village. Palermo is one of the largest and oldest historic centers in the Mediterranean area where many cultures share the amazement of tourists. Don't miss a visit to the historic surroundings such as Monreale, Bagheria. It is worth dedicating a day to visit the western part of Sicily (Trapani, Erice, the Marsala salt pans, etc.), Agrigento to the south with the Valley of the Temples and Cefalù to the east.
Access
Car not needed
How to get there
The best way to reach Palermo is by plane. From the airport to the center of Palermo there is a bus. When you arrive in Palermo ask the driver to let you off in Piazza della Esedra-viale della Libertà. Cross the road and take the local bus to Mondello (number 806). You can ask the driver to let you off in Piazza Valdesi. Don't forget to buy tickets before taking the local bus at a newsstand or cafe (it is not always possible to buy the ticket on the bus). However, in my opinion the best way to reach Mondello from the airport is a taxi (my home address: viale Principessa Giovanna n. 2); the cost is around 45 euros. I recommend asking the driver how much it costs before getting on and asking for a receipt when you arrive. I recommend renting a car only if you want to visit the main locations near Palermo (you can park the car in the garden). I inform you that starting from May 2014 the Municipality of Palermo asks all guests to pay a tourist tax of 2 Euros per night per person for the first 4 nights. My wife and I look forward to meeting you.
