Villa Losanna

Lovely villa with a beautiful garden and wonderful pool. We particularly liked the outdoor kitchen as it was very hot. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and well presented. Patricia was a delightful host, discreet but replied promptly to my queries.

We had problems finding the villa as the Satnav does not take you to an accessible entrance to the gated estate. It would have been helpful to have full directions the previous day before we left home. Patricia did contact me in the morning but my phone did not have reception upon arriving in Sicily.

Helpful owner, good kitchen facilities indoor and out. Good sized rooms. Pool good with plenty of seating around. Good garden.

Some maintenance issues, e.g. showers, kitchen kickboard. Streets in much of Mondello not very clean and pavements poorly maintained.

The woman who owns the property was lovely and very helpful, the facilities were also great, lovely pool and outdoor kitchen made for nice evening meals with a great Mountain View, 20 minute walk from Mondello beach or a fairly cheap uber into Palermo main city, also close to a supermarket

Nothing to do with the property itself but the specific trash days and no main bin for the street made it hard to control the amount of rubbish we had left behind by the 5 of us, also Uber drivers would go to a street over from the front door even when street and house number specified.

Nice garden and modern design

Description of the property did not match the reality. Location was further from the beach and the cafes than advertised. The closest market was not located in a walking distance, so we had to order taxis to move around. Air conditioner in the living room did not work at all and the air conditioner on the second floor was leaking from time to time. Towels were shabby, old and unpleasantly smelly. Shower on the second floor was leaking. The most frustrating part was the washing machine. We filled the machine upon our arrival and realized that it did not work. The host checked the machine and said she will take care. The next morning she came presumably with het husband to try to unsuccessfully fix it. Finally, a day later our host brought a professional to fix the machine who mentioned it was an electrical issue. Until that, our clothes remained stuck for two days. During our stay, the host never mentioned anything about charging us for fixing the machine, however, after leaving the villa we received a notification for damage compensation for the washing machine. So, basically, the host used us to repair the machine which was out order before us from our pocket.
