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

Mondello Villa with Pool combines the space of a substantial family residence with private gardens in a quiet residential district. Its approximately 445 m² extend across three levels, with a large roof terrace above. For buyers seeking a luxury home in Sicily to renovate, the property offers generous rooms and established outdoor spaces.

Via delle Nereidi is a leafy residential street away from the bustle of the seafront, where street parking is generally easier to find. Mondello beach is approximately five minutes away by car, while Palermo Airport is around twenty minutes away, depending on traffic. Palermo’s historic centre lies beyond Monte Pellegrino.

Inside, the villa retains the character of an elegant 1970s family home: solid hardwood parquet, a broad wooden staircase, fine woodwork and handcrafted details. The reception rooms, main bedroom suite and roof terrace are particularly spacious, while the pool and gardens provide privacy and room for outdoor living.

The property could suit a family planning a permanent move or an international buyer looking for a substantial second home near the sea. Although currently lived in, it needs renovation to update its finishes and facilities. It is sold unfurnished.

The Property

Beyond the pedestrian gate, gardens, flowerbeds and planting surround the villa. Terracotta paving gives the outdoor areas a Mediterranean character. A separate vehicle entrance leads down towards the semi-basement.

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

The entrance opens into a substantial reception room with an open fireplace, gas heating and air conditioning. Wallpapered walls, detailed woodwork and handcrafted fittings preserve the atmosphere of the original residence. An adjoining, smaller sitting room is currently used as a TV room.

The kitchen retains its steel units and period tiling, reflecting the Sicilian domestic style of the 1970s. A door opens onto a small service yard. A guest WC with distinctive red tiles completes the ground floor.

The wooden staircase leads to the first-floor bedrooms. The main suite has a balcony-terrace, a large built-in wardrobe and a spacious en-suite bathroom. From the balcony, the view extends across Mondello’s greenery towards Monte Pellegrino.

Further along the corridor are two additional large double bedrooms and a second bathroom. Built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms and corridors provide extensive storage.

A further flight of stairs leads to the large roof terrace, overlooking the gardens, pool and Monte Pellegrino.

The semi-basement receives natural light through numerous windows and glazed doors, and its ceilings are approximately 2.8 m high. It currently contains a laundry, a bedroom, a bathroom and a large living room. The layout offers potential for a separate guest area, with any independent residential use subject to confirmation of the authorised use and applicable requirements.

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 has independent mains gas heating and air conditioning on every level. A recent 6 kW photovoltaic installation supplies solar electricity. According to the information provided, the electrical installation was renewed after the photovoltaic system was fitted. The relevant compliance documentation forms part of the technical information to be reviewed; renewal alone does not establish certification.

Surroundings

Local shops and everyday services are close by on Via Partanna Mondello, approximately 300 m away, including the parish church of Santa Maria degli Angeli. Supermarkets are a few minutes away by car, and a larger shopping centre is also nearby. A riding club is approximately 200 m from the house, with tennis courts around 500 m away.

Mondello’s sandy bay, historic Liberty-style bathing pavilion and seafront restaurants are a short drive from the villa. Capo Gallo nature reserve frames the bay to the north and Monte Pellegrino to the south.

The Sanctuary of Santa Rosalia on Monte Pellegrino and the nine-hole golf course at Villa Airoldi provide further destinations in the surrounding area. Central Palermo, with its opera house, street markets and Arab-Norman monuments, is approximately twenty minutes away by car, depending on traffic.

Cardillo station is around five minutes away by car and offers direct rail connections towards Palermo Centrale and the airport. Falcone-Borsellino Airport is approximately twenty minutes away by car, depending on traffic. Trapani Airport in western Sicily provides another option, a little over an hour’s drive away.

Renovation and Potential

The villa’s potential lies in updating the interiors while retaining its original character. The bathrooms need renewing, while the layout and finishes could be adapted through a contemporary design. A specialist can assess the restoration of the wooden windows and whether suitable double glazing could be incorporated. The parquet, staircase and built-in joinery provide features worth preserving.

For a renovation project, the agency’s preliminary starting allowance is approximately €400 per m². This is an initial planning figure rather than a confirmed price for a complete renovation. The final budget will depend on the scope of work, technical findings, materials, finishes and any layout changes.

All renovation figures are indicative estimates, not binding quotations. A detailed specification and contractors’ quotations are needed to establish the budget for the chosen project.

The roof terrace could be furnished as an outdoor lounge and solarium, while the main reception spaces could be redesigned around the way the new owner wishes to use the house.

The semi-basement offers potential for guest accommodation. Creating a legally independent apartment would require confirmation of the authorised use and the necessary technical and administrative requirements. Alternatively, part of the level could potentially return to garage use by reopening the former vehicle access, subject to verification.

The access ramp is steep, so its suitability should be checked for the intended vehicle, particularly where ground clearance is limited.

Our network of local technical and legal professionals can help clarify the documentation and assess the feasibility of the proposed changes.

Our project management service can coordinate architects, builders and craftspeople, with local oversight while you are abroad. You can read about previous projects through our clients’ experiences.

Once renovated, the villa could serve as a permanent family home or a spacious second residence. If you are moving to Sicily, our Welcome to Sicily service can assist with the practical arrangements, with our team available locally.
