The Moro House & Cottage
Address: Via Marina Alliata 19 Mondello, 90149 Palermo, Sicilia (Italy)
Seaside Mondello is lively all year, and this house and cottage sleeps 10 so is perfect for families or friends. Beach and Palermo nearby
Mondello, super-close to Palermo, is where the city dwellers have escaped to for generations. This luxury attractive, contemporary, single-storey holiday villa is on a narrow residential street away from the main centre – a real oasis off the maze of busy streets. Behind the high wall are lush gardens of citrus trees, olive trees and exotic pines, a summer kitchen too. And outside is where you’ll be, on the big wide terrace and shady lawns. Inside all is light, spacious and spotless – the feel is of a relaxed family home, with painted wooden beams and comfortable sofas. The kitchen is white, blue and charming, and all you need for your first breakfast awaits in the fridge. The cottage is on the far side of the garden and is equally delightful; the master bedroom is in a new perfect little separate building. Laze in the beautiful pool or head for popular Mondello – its beach is a broad sweep of soft sand dotted with deckchairs, parasols, ice cream stalls and laid-back bars. In winter art and culture emerge.
Palermo is historic and fascinating town and next year 2018 it will be cultural capital.

Local points of interest from Signoretta Alliata:
Mondello beach is famous for its white sand and always clear sea. Easily accessible from the Moro you can go either in the equipped part (with deck chairs umbrellas etc,) that in the free part.
For those who love the nature there is the famous Capo di Gallo’s reserve with cliffs and coves. It’s possible to rent a dinghy for visiting the coast or diving at the diving center.
Guests of the Moro House can visit our family’s private Palazzo Alliata di Pietratagliata: a historic 15th century palace, decribed in ‘Gattopardo’, for free (see website for details).
The Arab-Norman itinerary (UNESCO World Heritage Site): the Royal Palace with its magnificent chapel, the Martorana and San Cataldo churches and the Duomo of Monreale.
In the centre of Palermo are the Serpotta sculptures in a Baroque style, the typical Capo food market, as well as the magnificent church of Immacolatae.
Just outside the city, the Greek temple of Segesta, only 50km from the Moro house, leaves visitors spellbound.
