In the elegant coastal resort of Mondello, this family-sized villa puts the sandy beach 600-metre walk away, and the buzzing Sicilian capital – Palermo – is a short drive. The highlight of the home is the sprawling garden, home to an inviting swimming pool and a shaded dining area to make the most of the Sicilian sun. Inside, there’s a traditional feel to the rooms with a working fireplace in the living room for the rare chilly night. The kitchen feels a little outdated, but it has everything you need to rustle up an Italian feast. You may want to spend all your time at the barbecue station anyway.

Home truths
All of the bedrooms are upstairs, so this place may not suit those with limited mobility.
The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
If you are hiring a car there is private parking for up to three vehicles.

About Palermo
Sicily's capital Palermo is a heady mix of ancient cultures with its Roman, Norman, Arab and Phoenician heritage, which has infused into its incredible blend of architecture and cuisine. It really is a feast for the senses, from citrus and myrtle scented squares to vibrant markets, Renaissance palaces and Byzantine mosaics.
