An interior designed around comfort

The apartment has been carefully planned to ensure that its compact footprint remains comfortable and practical for both private stays and holiday rentals. The open-plan living area brings together the lounge, dining space and a contemporary Modulnova kitchen, giving the interior a distinctive designer character. Bespoke furniture, built-in storage and a custom-made wall unit make intelligent use of every available metre.

The living area includes a large Smart TV and a sofa bed, allowing the apartment to accommodate up to four people. This added flexibility makes it equally suitable for couples, friends or a small family spending time in Sicily.

An elegant frosted-glass partition separates the bedroom from the living area, creating privacy without restricting the flow of natural light. The sleeping area includes a double bed and a generous wardrobe.

The bathroom is finished in high-quality resin and features a walk-in shower. The washing machine and utility area are discreetly concealed within built-in cabinetry, preserving the clean, minimalist appearance of the interior.

A private terrace for Sicilian mornings and evenings

Glazed doors open from the living room onto a private south-west-facing terrace. It is a natural extension of the apartment and a welcoming place for morning coffee, a relaxed breakfast or dinner after a day by the sea.

The terrace comfortably accommodates an outdoor dining table and seating. Part of the space is permanently covered, while the remaining area can be shaded by a retractable Arquati awning. Views towards the rocky slopes of Capo Gallo and the apartment’s position on a quieter side street create a more intimate atmosphere, despite being only a few minutes’ walk from the beach and the centre of Mondello.

Your own place by the sea, ready from day one

The property is sold with all furniture and equipment included, from the main furnishings and appliances to the practical items required for everyday living and welcoming guests. The new owner will not need to renovate, furnish or prepare the apartment for rental use.

This makes it particularly attractive for a single buyer or couple looking for a compact second home in Sicily. It can serve as a base for spontaneous weekends, longer holidays or periods of remote work, while continuing to generate income during the months when the owner is not in residence.

Mondello – the sea, the city and daily life within walking distance

Mondello is Palermo’s best-known seaside district, appreciated for its wide sandy bay, clear water, Liberty-style architecture and relaxed coastal atmosphere. Its restaurants, cafés and proximity to the natural landscapes of Capo Gallo and Monte Pellegrino make it appealing well beyond the peak summer season.

From the apartment, the beach, the historic fishing village, seafood restaurants, cafés, shops and essential services can all be reached on foot. A car is not necessary for everyday life, although the private parking space is an especially valuable advantage in Mondello, both for the owner and future guests.

Central Palermo is approximately 15 minutes away by car, while Falcone-Borsellino International Airport can be reached in around 25 minutes. This accessibility makes the apartment equally practical for shorter stays and for an owner based outside Sicily.

A proven rental model with further potential

The apartment is already established on the short-term rental market, with a proven booking history and strong guest ratings of 8.4 on Booking.com and 4.6 on Airbnb. According to the information provided, it generates approximately €15,000–€20,000 in net income during the April-to-October season.

Its compact size, high-quality finish, private terrace, parking space and location around 300 metres from the beach create a combination particularly attractive to couples and travellers seeking short stays by the sea. There is also potential to extend the booking calendar into the milder off-season months, appealing to remote workers and guests who wish to combine coastal living with easy access to Palermo.

This is a property for a buyer who does not want to choose between owning an apartment in Italy and making an investment. It can be enjoyed privately from the first day and, when the owner is away, continue operating within an established rental model in one of Sicily’s most recognisable seaside locations.
