A Renovated Villa with Private Pool Just 160 m from Mondello Beach

Villa Paolino is a detached home on Via Mondello, just 160 m from the beach and a few steps from the village centre. It has been completely renovated and furnished with carefully selected designer pieces. A private pool, a garden and two en-suite bedrooms complete the property in one of Mondello’s most sought-after locations.

Since the early twentieth century, Mondello has been where the families of Sicily’s capital come to swim, stroll and spend time by the sea. Its seafront has become an icon of Sicilian seaside life. Its appeal extends beyond the summer season, with quieter autumn days offering another way to enjoy the bay.

As a luxury home within walking distance of the sea, Villa Paolino combines personal use with holiday rental potential. It already operates as a holiday let with professional management in place.

The villa is sold fully furnished and is presented in excellent condition. Once the purchase is completed, the new owner can enjoy the house without organising a refurbishment or furnishing it from scratch. It could suit a couple or small family looking for a seaside holiday base, with the option of renting it out during periods of absence.

The Property

A gate from Via Mondello opens onto the property beside the pool. Raised above ground level and framed by wood-effect decking, the pool provides a place to cool off a few steps from the front door. The small garden wraps around the house, while terraces and other outdoor areas provide space to enjoy the sunshine.

A large, lockable glazed door leads into a bright lounge. A sofa bed and an armchair bed provide additional sleeping options for visiting friends or family. The ground floor also has a spacious modern kitchen with a breakfast bar, a dining table seating eight and a guest WC with toilet and basin.

A distinctive designer staircase leads to the first floor, where both bedrooms have their own en-suite bathroom. This arrangement provides privacy when two couples share the house. One bedroom also enjoys a pleasant outlook.

The designer furnishings were selected from Longho, a retailer specialising in high-end furniture, and are included in the sale. For buyers purchasing a second home, this avoids the need to arrange furniture deliveries before using the property.

The villa has an energy performance rating of class A and operates entirely on electricity, without a gas supply. A photovoltaic installation and solar panels contribute to its energy systems. Underfloor heating provides warmth during the cooler months, while hydronic cooling serves the house in summer. Double-glazed windows complete the specification.

Surroundings

Mondello’s crescent of pale sand is framed by Monte Pellegrino to the south and the Capo Gallo nature reserve to the north. On the Capo Gallo side, coastal paths lead towards rocky coves. The bay’s gently shelving shoreline makes it particularly popular with families.

At the centre of the bay, the historic Liberty-style bathing pavilion stands over the water. Built shortly before the First World War, it recalls the period when Palermo’s families began transforming the fishing village into a seaside retreat. Villas from the same era still characterise the surrounding streets.

Mondello is also enjoyable outside the busiest summer months. September and October bring a quieter atmosphere, while restaurants and bars provide options for meals and drinks throughout the year.

Street parking is available nearby, although spaces are more difficult to find in July and August. Much of Mondello can be explored on foot. An organic supermarket is approximately 200 m from the villa, and cafés, ice cream shops, other shops and everyday services are close by. Larger supermarkets and the Conca d’Oro shopping centre are a short drive away.

Central Palermo is approximately twenty minutes away by car, depending on traffic. The 806 bus also provides a connection towards the city, with journey times varying according to traffic and the destination.

Falcone-Borsellino Airport is around twenty-five minutes away by car. Tommaso Natale station is on the railway line connecting the airport with Palermo Centrale. For travel through western Sicily, Trapani’s Birgi Airport provides another option, approximately an hour and a quarter away by car.

Holiday Rental Potential and Personal Use

With the renovation complete and the house furnished throughout, Villa Paolino offers the possibility of combining personal holidays with rental use. The villa is currently managed as a holiday let by our sister company Solemar Sicilia.

With suitable management, the projected gross annual rental revenue is approximately €70,000–80,000, before operating costs, management fees, commissions and taxes.

These figures are indicative projections, not confirmed historical earnings or a guarantee of future income. Actual revenue depends on occupancy, nightly rates, seasonality, management and the periods reserved for the owner’s use.

An owner living abroad could use the villa for personal holidays and make it available to guests at other times. If you wish to continue letting the property through Solemar Sicilia, our team can help coordinate the management arrangements and any procedures required for the new ownership.

The location gives access to Mondello’s beach and village life without the price level of some larger villas directly on the seafront. Its combination of a private pool, completed renovation and included furnishings may appeal to buyers seeking a property that is already set up for use.

If you would like to introduce personal touches over time, our project management service can coordinate local tradespeople and oversee the work while you are abroad.

The villa could also serve as a permanent home, with efficient heating and cooling systems and convenient access to Palermo and the airport. Our Welcome to Sicily service can assist with the practical arrangements involved in relocating.

The seller is a private individual, and the sale is stated as not subject to VAT. The seller has also indicated that there may be some flexibility on the asking price. Our team can provide further information.
