We were very lucky to have booked this lovely 'casseta' at the last minute when another VRBO property fell through. What a lucky accident! The location in Mondello--suburban Palermo, a straight shot up hill from Mondello Beach--was terrific, and the gated property so quiet and peaceful you feel as if you are far from the city. The cassetta is light, airy, clean, with great AC, good beds, a big well-equipped kitchen, smart-TV, and a beautiful view of the outdoor space--enormous pool, shady patio area, outdoor cabana with shower, all beautifully landscaped and well tended, --is paradise. The owner's house is next door but you will enjoy complete privacy. He was kind, responded quickly to our questions, and we appreciated the breakfast provisions left for us. The only downside was having no washing machine, and we could have used a broom, and some poor bees drown in the pool in the late afternoon. But other than that: perfect. It's a great base from which to explore western Sicily...but you won't want to leave!
