Description
In the heart of Mondello, in one of its most prestigious areas, just steps from the beach and overlooking Piazza Caboto, stands this extraordinary Art Nouveau villa, an architectural gem with timeless charm. Built in 1920 to a design by the renowned Ernesto Basile, in collaboration with architect Roberti, it represents a rare example of a stately home that combines the refinement of Art Nouveau with the comforts of contemporary living. Basile, the undisputed father of Palermo's Art Nouveau architecture, designed masterpieces such as the Teatro Massimo and the Villino Florio, and here too he left an unmistakable mark, creating a unique, elegant, and harmonious residence. The villa, entirely restored in 2003 with meticulous care while respecting the original lines, extends over two levels with an internal surface area of approximately 270 square meters and is surrounded by a lush Mediterranean garden of approximately 1,000 square meters, dotted with ornamental plants and evocative views that make it a refuge of rare beauty. The ground floor features a formal living room, bathed in light by large windows that lead to an elegant portico, characterized by sober and refined lines. This is followed by a dining room overlooking the rear portico, a functional kitchen, laundry room, two bathrooms, and a bedroom. A dramatic white marble staircase leads to the upper floor, entirely dedicated to the sleeping area: here lies the large master bedroom, embellished with a private bathroom and direct access to a large terrace. Completing the level are two additional bedrooms, also with en suite bathrooms, walk-in closets, and access to a private terrace overlooking the garden. The first-floor terraces, supported by square columns that recall the elegant geometry of Art Nouveau design, give the villa a solid yet harmonious character, creating a refined balance between classic proportions and modernist style. Decorative details, such as the carpet-patterned cement tiles that enrich the living area and the flamed oak parquet, also with carpet-patterned designs, that makes the sleeping area welcoming, testify to the quest for beauty and functionality typical of the era. Equipped with independent heating and every comfort, this residence is not just a home, but a true work of art, a place where history meets elegance and blends with modern livability. A unique home, designed for those who want to experience the exclusivity of Mondello surrounded by the authentic beauty of Palermo's Art Nouveau style.
