Om
Raske fakta: Mer enn 20 villaer i Liberty-stil ligger langs strandpromenaden, bygget mellom 1909 og 1920-årene av Palermos elite som sommerresidenser. Arkitekter som Ernesto Basile blandet blomstermotiver, smijerndetaljer og pastellfasader som gløder forskjellig i hver dagslystime.
Høydepunkter: Villa Pojero har fortsatt sin originale keramikkovn inni, dekorert med håndmalte fliser som avbilder sicilianske sitronlunder. Trå inn på den private terrassen ved stranden på Villa Florio, og du står der Palermos rikeste familier en gang holdt champagnefylte fester med utsikt over Mondellobukten.
Insidertips
- Start at Piazza Valdesi and follow the seafront promenade southward to catch every villa in sequence.
- Bring a camera with a good zoom lens to capture the wrought-iron and ceramic details that are hard to see from street level.
- Skip midday in summer when the sun washes out the colors and the beach is packed. Early morning or late afternoon are far better.
- Pair your walk with an aperitivo at one of the wooden kiosks on Mondello beach for a view of the villas across the water.
