I just came back from a 4 night stay here with my wife. What an amazing vacation with all the little details covered. We wanted a mix of summer beach holiday instilled with some Palermo historic culture so this was perfect.
Robert is an amazing host. He made us feel us as if we were in his home. The Villa is located in an lavish street in an upscale Mondello area just 12 minute walk away from the beach. We were told beforehand about this distance and it was clear on the website and so there was no misalignment in expectations. With the bikes that Robert offers free to his guests it becomes a fun 3 minute bike away alongside Mondello's leafy streets. You should also know that the closest place to grab food is around a 7 minute walk.
The room is spacious, clean and bright and airy. It has a private balcony overlooking so many trees and you can see some an imposing mountain on the skyline. The bathroom is also big and clean. The breakfast is just a few steps away from the room and is very good. We would divide our time between the hustle of the beach and the serenity of the pool here. It;'s very quiet, very leafy with jasmine flowers and other beautiful flowers hovering all over the garden. The place is a quintessential Sicilian experience and we are so glad we did not opt to stay in a chaotic small flat in Palermo. So much better to enjoy the day and beach here and spend a few hours on a day or 2 in Palermo and return back here.
In addition to all the amenities and amazing features, the real gem was Robert. Besides being very nice and welcoming, his insider tips on what to do in Mondello and Palermo and where to eat was amazing. He listened and understood exactly what we wanted and what kind of food we liked and gave us the perfect itinerary for both Palermo and Mondello and even suggested the walking route. I had a particular interest in a historical element in Palermo and Robert told me how to find it which I'm sure without him would have been very hard. If you book here, you do not need to worry about planning beforehand what to do and where to eat in Mondello and Palermo - Robert being the local expert that he is will exceed your expectations with his insight.
Adriano the taxi driver sent by Robert was also a highlight of the vacation. An extremely nice gentleman with amazing local tips. I strongly recommend you use his services. Do not rely on taxi from the airport or a bus.
All in all - perfetto! Would definitely...
Read moreWe (a family of four) spent a week at the B&B Mondello Resort in October 2024. The beautiful villa is set in lush gardens and has a lovely pool. However, as we were lucky with the weather, we preferred to spend our time on the beautiful beach of Mondello, which is only a 10-minute walk away. Or you can grab one of the bikes to get there even quicker. One day we took the bus to Palermo, which takes about 20 to 25 minutes and was a straightforward journey.||Mondello is still busy in October, but probably not as busy as in the high season in July or August. It's no problem to find a spot on the beach or to spontaneously grab a table in one of the many excellent restaurants nearby. ||The rooms are spacious, modern and very clean. Breakfast was delicious and is served on a large terrace overlooking the surrounding gardens and countryside.||But the best thing is the hosts: Robert and his family are simply wonderful people who take great care of their guests. You feel welcome from the minute you enter their beautiful home. Robert, Gabriella, Carlotta and Erica did everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible (and beyond). they even arranged a very early breakfast for us on our last day! Thanks again for everything!||All in all: 10 out of 10 stars. We would come back anytime and recommend B&B Mondello Resort to anyone looking for a relaxing stay.||The only downside is that you don't want to leave again to get back...
Read moreB&B Mondello Resort is a comfortable hotel in a residential villa district. Our room had a nice balcony where we stayed at it after dinner in one of the nearby restaurants (15 min walk). In the morning there was a delicious breakfast served.
You are 5 minutes from Mondello beach, but a big plus is the beautiful swimming pool with beach chairs where you can relax under the trees. We used the beach much less than proposed, because we really liked the quiet cousy swimming pool.
Mondello has beautiful beaches, but it has little to offer. However, by bus you can reach Palermo in 45 minutes (expect on an hour as the bus is not on time) and it allow you 2 hours to get to Monreale. Palermo is a beautiful city. To visit everything, you will definitely need 2 to 3 days. Mondello is located in the municipality of Palermo. Palermo is one of the less wealthy cities in Italy, which is certainly noticeable in the maintenance of the streets and the “boulevard”.
Contact with the manager and staff was very pleasant throughout the entire period. We spent 14 days here and enjoyed a great holiday. For us, this stay is...
