Casa Paolino - Mondello

If you want a city beach in Sicily, Mondello is your number one option by far. On the outskirts of Palermo it's an instantly recognisable array of colour and activity, all year round. Casa Paolino is a two-bedroom apartment just a stone's throw from the seafront. AN ICONIC SICILIAN SEAFRONT For hundreds of years, Mondello's deep crescent of golden sand has been a magnet for Palermo's sun-lovers in the summer months. From Liberty villas to modern developments, you can see the changes in taste and design that the city's lucky elite have brought to this fashionable spot. The Art Deco pier is an unmissable highlight, now home to some of the region's best dining. Casa Paolino is just 700m away from the beach, walkable in under ten minutes even on the hottest of days. In a quiet residential street it's untroubled by traffic or excessive noise. With a mix of holidaymakers and residents, it's just a great base for lovers of the sea who don't want to stray too far from the amenities of Sicily's largest city. Central Palermo is just fifteen minutes away by car. FRESHLY RENOVATED A recent renovation has transformed this 1950s villa into a number of smaller apartments, with Casa Paolino in the middle of the development. The work has created a thoroughly modern, fluid living space with the stylings of a big-city loft. You'll love the partially exposed brickwork, the metal spiral staircase that stands out against the clean interiors in stark black, and of course the natural light. Full-length windows to both the front and back allow for light and air to pass right through the home, and the impressive four metre ceilings really help to maximise the space. CHIC DESIGN AND WELL-CHOSEN MATERIALS An open-plan living space occupies the whole of the 35m2 ground floor, with areas for relaxation, dining and food preparation. A small WC has been added just before you come to the French windows that lead out to the garden. Upstairs are two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom with a shower. The kitchen and bathrooms are newly installed, with quality ceramics and tiling. Underfoot, modern tiles have been used throughout the home, and outdoors the large paving stones compliment the smooth fascias and light wooden fencing.
