A Turnkey Designer Beach Apartment in Mondello, Sold Fully Furnished with Private Parking and Proven Rental Income
Famous for its crescent of white sand, its Liberty architecture and its position between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the green peak of Monte Pellegrino, Mondello has always been the most popular seaside district for residents of Palermo, and so in many ways the island of Sicily. In summer the seafront hums with restaurants, lidos and locals taking the evening passeggiata; in winter the fresh sea air and quiet streets move to a gentler rhythm. This little beach district is a true Sicilian institution.
On the ground of a centrally located apartment building on via Stesicoro, just a few hundred metres from the sand, White Loft is a designer beach apartment in Mondello. Having been completely renovated in the recent past, it is presented in immaculate condition, finished to an exacting standard of contemporary design.
This is a compact, open-plan living space built around a Modulnova kitchen, a comfortable bedroom behind an elegant glass partition and a south-west-facing terrace with views towards Capo Gallo. It comes with a private parking space and basement storage, both of which are extremely precious assets to find so close to the seafront.
The property is already an established holiday rental flat, with strong guest ratings and a net annual income of €15-20,000 from the April-to-October season alone. For a buyer looking for an investment, a holiday base or a combination of the two, this is a ready-made opportunity with a proven track record. Even better, it's sold fully furnished and equipped with all contents, right down to the crockery. From the moment you complete the purchase, it will be ready to welcome you or your first guests.
The Property
From the main entrance of the building, a corridor leads to the apartment door. Inside, a small hallway serves as a welcome area, and straight ahead of you is an ante-bathroom leading to the bathroom proper. These have been finished entirely in high-quality resin, with a walk-in shower behind a full-height glass panel and a laundry area which has been strategically hidden inside a cupboard, keeping the clean lines intact. The ante-room includes some custom made furniture, including a secure cupboard which can be closed by key.
The open-plan living space is dominated by the Modulnova kitchen mentioned above, a sculptural installation worth over €15,000 that sets the tone for the entire apartment. It is fitted with a modern electric oven and hob. Beyond this, a large smart TV overlooks a lounge area backed by a bespoke masonry wall unit designed to make the most of every centimetre. The comfortable sofa bed here can stretch the sleeping capacity of the home to four, if needed.
Another elegant feature of the unit is the large Rimadesio-style wall of frosted glass that separates the living area from the bedroom without closing it off, allowing natural light to flow through the full depth of the apartment. Beyond the partition, the double bedroom includes a deep wardrobe with ample storage space.
At the far end of the living room, glazed doors open onto the terrace, which is fully private and faces south-west. Deep and wide, it is comfortably big enough for the outdoor dining table and matching stools. Half is permanently covered and the other half can be shaded with a retractable Arquati awning. The outlook is towards the rocky hillside of Capo Gallo, and the side-street position means it stays quiet and private.
Air conditioning in both the bedroom and living room provides heating as well as cooling. Temperatures are maintained by the latest-generation double-glazed windows with mosquito screens. Thoughtfully positioned designer lighting throughout rounds out a truly chic apartment in which every detail has been meticulously considered.
Surroundings
White Loft’s position allows you to enjoy Mondello entirely on foot. The beach is around 300 metres from the front door, and the heart of the old fishing village, with its celebrated seafood restaurants, elegant cafes and daily shops, is within a similar radius. An organic supermarket is less than 500 metres away, and you will find everything you need for day-to-day life without ever reaching for the car keys.
The bay is framed by two dramatic natural landmarks. To the north, the Capo Gallo nature reserve offers rocky coastline, hiking trails and panoramic sea views. To the south, Monte Pellegrino, the peak that Goethe called the most beautiful promontory in the world, separates Mondello from the centre of Palermo. Between the two, the famous Liberty-era bathing pavilion juts out over the water from its pier, one of the most photographed structures in Sicily. The backstreets behind the beach are lined with Art Nouveau villas and shaded gardens, a legacy of the early twentieth century when the Palermitan elite first developed Mondello as their exclusive summer retreat.
Despite the village atmosphere, connectivity is a real strength. Sicily’s capital and largest city is a fifteen-minute drive to the south, with regular bus connections, offering theatres, markets, street food and centuries of layered history. Falcone-Borsellino international airport is around 25 minutes away, with direct flights to London, across northern Europe and to the United States in the summer months. For a designer beach apartment in Mondello, these transport links are a major practical advantage, particularly for an owner who plans to welcome guests arriving from abroad.
Potential
The apartment is currently managed by Solemar Sicilia, our sister company, and has built a strong reputation on the major booking portals, with scores of 8.4 on Booking.com and 4.6 on Airbnb. The private parking space adds significant value to the property’s market appeal, and the basement storage is an invaluable practicality for the owners.
With the current €25,000 rental income derived from the peak season alone, there is clear scope to extend bookings into the milder winter months, when Mondello is increasingly popular with off-season visitors. Running a short-term let in Sicily involves some bureaucratic setup, but Solemar Sicilia have handled this on behalf of their property owners as a matter of course. You would obviously be under no obligation to continue the arrangement, but if you chose to it would make for a totally frictionless transition.
Whether you plan to use White Loft for part of the year and let it earn in between, or treat it purely as an investment, this perfect little designer beach apartment in Mondello promises significant returns on your outlay from the word go.
