Alberto is very friendly and helpful. Mondello is a beautiful village with a two km sandy beach and a nature reserve (Capo Gallo). There is a supermarket in town (and an Auchan hypermarket on the way from the airport). The Palermo bus stops right outside, although we did not find driving into town too daunting.

The apartment has two bedrooms, two balconies, a small galley kitchen and large lounge. There is a huge fridge and the bathroom is well equipped.

I can only give four stars because the apartment is in need of some maintenance. The crockery had been left dirty by a previous owner and we had to wash all the dishes and cutlery before we could use them. Some of the fittings don't work perfectly and the concertina doors are a bit dated. But we enjoyed our stay and our host is very friendly (and very patient when we got lost whilst looking for the apartment in the dark!)
