Booking a Mondello villa allows you to immerse yourself in an idyllic, vibrant Sicilian seaside resort whilst enjoying all the comforts of home.
Mondello has an air of exclusivity, thanks in part to several yacht clubs grouped around the picturesque marina. With its abundance of elegant restaurants and bars as well as its tropical bay, it's no wonder this stylish town has become one of the shining jewels in Sicily's crown.
The emphasis on the elegant seaside resort of Mondello is, without a doubt, on the beautiful beach-front, one of the most coveted bays in Sicily. Silky, white sands are lapped by vivid, aquamarine waters that look more Caribbean than Mediterranean. Water-sports and beach games are popular in this area and the lively beach-front hosts the annual Windsurf World Festival with a vibrant atmosphere that's hard to beat.
The bay is suitable for all ages, from families with young children to those seeking excellent swimming opportunities. You can enjoy the hubbub of Sicilian life with large groups of Italians socialising in the sun and pedlars calling their wares, selling jewellery, drinks and snacks on the sand. The row of picturesque, lockable beach cabins provide a welcome convenience for keeping your valuables safe.
Foodies will rejoice and the wide range of cafes and restaurants in Mondello – from traditional trattorias and pizzerias to elegant establishments where you can enjoy a spot of sophisticated dining. However, the streets of Mondello are also lined with tantalising street food options, from open kitchens to roadside vendors.
Pick up a delicious aranicini, a fried rice ball cooked with melting mozzarella and coated in breadcrumbs, or choose crispy panella, chickpea flour fritters, often consumed between two slices of bread.
If you are looking to satisfy a sweet tooth then the local granite is a must try. This flavoured iced dessert is a speciality of the region, with the mulberry flavour being a particular favourite.
Alternatively, with a self-catered Mondello apartment or villa, you can bring home fresh fish and local produce from the markets and put on your own Sicilian feast.
For a break from the breath-taking vistas of the bay, take a stroll around Mondello and marvel at the Liberty style villas that pepper the shoreline. The grand buildings conjure an image of a time of luxury, when the aristocracy flocked to experience this charming seaside town. A restaurant now inhabits the town's old bathhouse, a whimsical architectural creation decorated with mythical creatures.
