Villa Mariù stands on a quiet side street in the beach town of Mondello, just ten minutes from the iconic sandy beach. Its elevated position offers you a stunning view of both the surrounding mountains and the sea, especially from the spacious roof terrace.

Offering off-street parking for two cars, the property’s driveway leads up to a little garden with a hammock and a cosy veranda.

From here you can make your way into the house, where you will find yourself in the fully equipped kitchen, with everything you need for a self-catered stay of any duration. Behind this, a hallway brings you to a bathroom with a shower, and then to the living room. This large, bright space is furnished with a comfortable sofa bed, as well as a large dining table which seats six. Twin French windows lead you onto a large terrace which overlooks the small lemon garden, which can be reached down a small external staircase.

On the first floor, the holiday home’s two double bedrooms each open directly onto an ample balcony, and there is a second bathroom, with a tub.

The second floor is entirely given over to that unforgettable 40 m2 roof terrace, where the panoramic views will take your breath away.

The villa is equipped with all modern comforts, including air conditioning and central heating.

Mondello – A Caribbean atmosphere on the outskirts of Palermo

The beach resort of Mondello, on the outskirts of Palermo, is known locally as the Caribbean of Sicily, and at first sight you will have no doubt as to how it gained this reputation. The long, wide strip of white sand melts seamlessly into the sea, whose crystal-clear waters shimmer in every shade from azure to turquoise and further out a deep, dark blue.

When the summer arrives, the beautiful front explodes into a vibrant holiday atmosphere, with colourful lidos, beach bars and mouth-watering seafood restaurants. In winter, it is no less enthralling, a serene spot inviting long walks by the sea.

Mondello’s pier is a majestic structure in the branch of Art Nouveau style known locally as Liberty. Jutting out into the sea like a glamorous jewel, it boasts top-class eateries and timeless charm. The promenade offers a wealth of cheaper restaurants and street vendors, bringing life to the town’s pavements and little piazzas.

Above, the green slopes of the Monte Gallo nature reserve stretch up to the skyline, offering an abundance of nature and wildlife, adorned with more beautiful examples of the Liberty style.

Mondello’s proximity to Palermo, with regular and reliable bus connections, makes it the perfect spot for a beach holiday where you can still enjoy everything Sicily’s largest and most important city has to offer.
