Description
In a secluded and quiet location in Mondello, this splendid villa is the ideal solution for those seeking privacy, beauty, and an authentically Mediterranean lifestyle.
Set within a generous, lush garden, designed and maintained with the utmost care, the property offers shaded corners ideal for relaxing afternoons outdoors, surrounded by the scent of the Mediterranean scrub. Built in 2000 and impeccably maintained, the villa stands out for its refined architecture, with bright, highly livable interiors. The heart of the home is a spacious living area, enhanced by a large antique fireplace and a bow window, a separate kitchen with island, the dining room, laundry room, and two bathrooms. The layout is designed to offer versatility, privacy, and customization potential, while high ceilings lend the spaces airy elegance and a sense of openness. The verandas and terraces, accessible from both the living area and the bedrooms, create a continuum between indoors and outdoors, turning every moment of the day into an opportunity to enjoy the tranquility—under pergolas or overlooking panoramic views. On the upper floor, a large living area distributes the space to a master bedroom with walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom, and to two spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets and a bathroom. Year-round comfort is ensured by a heating system designed down to every detail and in all areas, a 6 kW photovoltaic system with 12 kWh storage batteries and a solar thermal system, thermal insulation, and a water reserve with an authorized well. Completing the property is a wonderful guesthouse created in the ancient “Scirocco Outbuilding” of Castelforte Castle, about 180 sqm over two levels, set in greenery that ensures maximum privacy. It comprises a large living area with fireplace, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The villa will be sold with the swimming pool built. A corner of Mondello where every detail is designed to offer a high-quality living experience, amid peace, nature, and beauty.
Mondello is undoubtedly famous and renowned for its beach, considered a true jewel both by Sicilians and by the countless tourists who, during the summer season (extended until October/November thanks to the mild climate), crowd its magical sand.
The features that make Mondello’s beach unique and incomparable are undoubtedly the pure white color of the sand, the shallow seabed, the calm waters, and also the fine setting that has developed around these wonders of nature: the nightlife that welcomes a large influx of people, luxury, magical chaos, special fun, and the unique spectacle of the sunset—a sunbath in crystal-clear waters.
But it is not only the beach, which certainly plays the role of the area’s main attraction, that makes Mondello unique; in fact, this locality is characterized by numerous Liberty-style villas, known as the highest expression of Art Nouveau in Italy.
The Liberty-style villas define the area’s architecture, making it an important landmark in the history of international modernism. These buildings (many by the renowned architect Ernesto Basile) are among the finest examples of Art Nouveau architecture in Italy and in Europe.
Mondello offers many accommodation facilities, numerous yacht clubs and exclusive clubs, restaurants, shops, a small harbor, and an old seaside bathing establishment, one of the city’s symbolic monuments. During the summer period, various services are offered, focused, for example, on renting cabins or on season passes to access private sections of the beach.
