A CASA DEL CONSOLE

Staying in this place it is an experience itself. The traditional house is charming, decorated in a vintage style, with decorations from different parts of the world, including in the stairs area. The high ceiling allows for good ventilation in the summer, so we barely used the air conditioning. The bathroom is chic and modern, with everything you need. Overall, the vibe is a mixture of artistic and traditional Italian but with modern facilities ... We felt it was a house that calls for respect. *** We were offered coffee, tea and almond biscuits for coffee/tea breaks that we enjoyed in the outdoor space (tables and seats, shadow and with partial view towards the natural surroundings). *** The neighborhood is green and quiet, and we were able to get by foot to both Mondello beach (on our way we always stopped to some of the most recommended places on Tripadviser for gelato and arancini), and Addaura beach; also, 2-3 minutes away was the bus station to/from Palermo (bus 806). *** Silvia, was always smiling and very kind, proving us assistance even related to our flight (1 day before Etna erupted :) ) or traveling from Catania airport to Mondello. To understand the level of involvement - we booked the place just few days before going to Sicily and it was a case of double booking (which can happen when listing the place on several platforms). This also happened for our Catania place, but they just sent us a message to cancel, without any other details. However, with Silvia was different. I have never seen somebody putting so much effort (on a Sunday) to find a solution for us, not to cancel our holiday ... Also, we locked ourselves outside the room, but she came quickly from the beach (on Sunday), to help us, smiling and ensuring us that it was ok. Thank you, Silvia. It was a pleasure meeting you.
