The location was really fantastic, only a block from the beach and maybe a 5-10 minute walk from the main area of restaurants and a gourmet grocery store. There's also a really beautiful and scenic nature reserve park with high cliffs along the sea only 15-20 minutes away by foot. Our morning and afternoon walks/runs in the park were one of the highlights of our stay in Mondello. For roughly 3 euros a person, Palermo was about a 45-min bus ride away, so perfect for a day trip. The hotel staff were extremely helpful, kind, and responsive. When we had a small problem the morning after arrival, they resolved it within 10 minutes. The room itself was a normal size in the interior, but we really appreciated having the only room in the hotel with a spacious balcony that had a bit of a sea view. The pictures of the room on Booking.com matched what we saw on arrival. The bed was comfortable, and we slept pretty well. The garden out back was very cute and quiet, and we spent some time there relaxing in the sun while having breakfast or a glass of wine. The building was easily accessible on arrival and the breakfast service was great. Overall, we were really happy with the hotel and would definitely consider going there again for a relaxing vacation!

There is a road with light to moderate traffic not far from the hotel's front, but as it got closer to the Easter holiday weekend, noise from the growing traffic of holiday goers (likely from Palermo) increased. There's also no window screen in the room, so its easy for mosquitos to get in at night if you want to leave the windows open for fresh air, but that's an issue almost everywhere in Italy and there aren't so many mosquitos in April. There wasn't a lot of storage space in the room, but for a stay of just a few days this was fine. We were very happy that the room had a large safe for valuables, but it really should be bolted down to something to prevent it being easily removed from the room.

Excellent location and very helpful staff. Good shower.

Room a little dark but not a huge problem.

Villa was very cute.Pretty garden area with hot tub and tropical plants,including a banana tree.Eating breakfast there is lovely.We had a room with terrace. The location is perfect,a minute from from beautiful beach,restaurants, and 3minutes to the bus to Palermo. The staff are fantastic,so friendly,professional and helpful.

We had a great time at this homely feeling hotel. It’s quite small with only a few rooms. The room we stayed in, however, was quite nicely sized for two adults. We also got to enjoy a big balcony. The whole room was quite modern from the wellness shower we were pleasantly surprised by to the Smart TV and touch control AC Unit. The included breakfast was good, it even had vegan options and I got to enjoy an Oat Milk Cappuccino for breakfast. The best thing, however, is the proximity to the beach. It’s just a few meters away from the property. I also need to tell you, that the staff was incredibly helpful and sweet with anything we needed. I will definitely be back.

There were some constructions while we were there but only during the daytime and it wasn’t really noticeable. The walls are kinda thin so you can hear when someone is talking outside of your room. That wasn’t a problem at all though and you can’t hear them if they are in their rooms.

Lovely clean room comfy bed chunky towels with a small terrace The Garden and Hot Tub a real bonus breakfast good you can enjoy in the Garden.Location really good so close to the beach. Staff nice.

No Private Beach as advertised not open until end of May

We spent one night with our dog in this beautiful villa in Mondello, near the beach. The room was upstairs ( a bit uncomfortable for one night), but bed an bathroom were splendid. In the morning a fantastic breakfast with very tasty Cappucino and local cakes/ sweets/ hearty choices. Very friendly staff, Carla was very helpful as she served breakfast at 7 am as we had to catch the ferry. Absolute recommendation.

Carla was fantastic. She arranged a special Birthday cake for my wife. It was magical. Everything was excellent. Stayed in the James Bond room 007!

Everything was wonderful.

Fantastic facility. Love the location. Walking distance to everything.

Need better directions to get there. GPS address dropped us off a block away so we had to wonder trying to find it. Small sign said AWA not Villa Calipso. Very confusing. But we finally found it!

Everything was very clean. The breakfast was continental and in the very pleasant garden. The stuff was excellent. I have never met such a attentive and helpful stuff. Carla, you are the best!!!! 🥰🥰
