A Four-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool and Gardens in Mondello

Mondello Villa with Pool is a renovation project with the space and setting of a substantial family home. This detached villa stands on a plot of around 850 m², surrounded by private gardens in a quiet, leafy residential district. Its approximately 445 m² extend across three levels, with a large roof terrace above.

Via delle Nereidi is a peaceful residential street, away from the bustle of the seafront, where street parking is generally easier to find. The beach is around five minutes away by car, while Palermo Airport can be reached in approximately twenty minutes, depending on traffic.

Inside, the villa retains the elegant feel of a 1970s family home, with solid hardwood parquet, a broad wooden staircase and handcrafted details throughout. Its reception rooms, master suite and roof terrace are particularly generous, while the pool and gardens create a sense of privacy and calm.

It could suit a family planning a permanent move to Sicily or an international buyer looking for a spacious second home near the sea, with access to Palermo’s cultural life and everyday services.

The villa is currently lived in, but renovation is needed to bring its finishes and some of its facilities up to contemporary standards. It is sold unfurnished.

The Property

Passing through the pedestrian gate, you are immediately surrounded by greenery. Gardens, flowerbeds and planting wrap around the villa, while terracotta paving gives the outdoor spaces a Mediterranean character. A second entrance provides vehicle access down to the semi-basement level.

To the left of the main entrance is a large relaxation area around the private pool. The pool measures just over 12 × 4.4 m, with a deep end of more than 2.5 m.

Inside, a spacious reception room has an open fireplace, gas heating and air conditioning. Wallpapered walls, fine woodwork and craftsman-made details recall the style of a substantial residence from another era. Next door, a smaller sitting room currently serves as a TV room.

The kitchen retains its steel units and period tiling, offering a glimpse of Sicilian domestic interiors of the 1970s. A door leads out to a small service yard. A separate WC with distinctive red tiles completes the ground floor.

The broad wooden staircase leads up to the bedrooms. The master suite has a balcony-terrace, a large built-in wardrobe and a spacious en-suite bathroom. From the balcony, the view extends over the greenery of Mondello towards Monte Pellegrino.

Further along the corridor are a second bathroom and two more large, bright double bedrooms. Built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms and corridors provide considerable storage space.

A further flight of stairs leads to the large roof terrace, with views over the garden, the pool and Monte Pellegrino.

The semi-basement receives natural light through numerous windows and glazed doors and has ceilings approximately 2.8 m high. It currently contains a laundry, a bedroom, a bathroom and a large living room. This layout offers potential for guest accommodation, subject to verification of the authorised use of the spaces and any requirements for creating an independent unit.

This level also has its own flowerbeds and green spaces, a masonry barbecue on a terracotta patio, the pool’s plant room and a separate storage room.

The house is equipped with independent mains gas heating and air conditioning on every level. A recent 6 kW photovoltaic system supplies solar electricity. According to the information provided, the electrical installation was renewed after the photovoltaic system was installed. Its compliance and the relevant certification should be checked as part of the technical documentation review.

Surroundings

This residential corner of Mondello has shops and everyday services close at hand. Via Partanna Mondello, including the parish church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, is approximately 300 m away. Supermarkets are a few minutes’ drive from the house, and a larger shopping centre is also nearby. For sport and leisure, a riding club is approximately 200 m away and tennis courts around 500 m away.

Mondello’s sandy bay, its Liberty-style bathing pavilion and its seafront restaurants are a short drive from the villa. Framed by the Capo Gallo nature reserve to the north and Monte Pellegrino to the south, the bay has long been a favourite seaside destination for Palermo residents.

The Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia on Monte Pellegrino and the nine-hole golf course at Villa Airoldi are further options for outings nearby. Palermo’s historic centre, with its opera house, street markets and Arab-Norman monuments, is approximately twenty minutes away by car, depending on traffic.

Cardillo railway station is around five minutes away by car and offers direct connections towards Palermo Centrale and Palermo Airport. Current train times and tickets can be checked on the official Trenitalia website. Falcone-Borsellino Airport is approximately twenty minutes away by car, depending on traffic, while Trapani Airport is a little over an hour’s drive away.

Renovation and Potential

With the space, gardens and setting already in place, the villa’s potential lies in its renovation. The bathrooms need renewing, while the layout and finishes could be adapted through a contemporary design. The wooden windows retain their character; a specialist can assess whether restoration and the addition of double glazing are feasible. The parquet and wooden staircase provide features worth retaining.

As a preliminary starting point, the agency suggests a renovation budget from approximately €400 per m². Applied to the stated area of 445 m², this corresponds to around €178,000.

This is an indicative initial estimate, not a binding quotation for a complete renovation. The final budget will depend on the agreed scope, technical findings, materials, finishes, layout changes and contractors’ quotations.

Our guide to renovating a house in Sicily explains the practical steps involved in planning works, choosing professionals and obtaining any necessary approvals.

A considered renovation could create a contemporary villa with a private pool, while retaining the character of its original woodwork. The roof terrace could also be furnished as a panoramic outdoor lounge and solarium.

The semi-basement offers potential for guest accommodation. Establishing it as an independent apartment would require confirmation of its authorised use and the necessary technical and administrative checks. Alternatively, part of the level could potentially be returned to garage use by reopening the former vehicle access, subject to verification. The access ramp is steep, and suitability should be checked for the intended vehicle, particularly if it has low ground clearance.

Before developing plans, the technical and planning documents should be reviewed. We can introduce buyers to trusted surveyors and legal professionals familiar with the area.

Our project management service can coordinate architects, builders and craftspeople on your behalf, helping you oversee the work while you are abroad.

Once renovated, the villa could serve as a permanent family home or a spacious second residence. For buyers moving to Sicily, our Welcome to Sicily service can assist with the paperwork and practical arrangements involved in settling in.
