The Area
Minerva is located in Mondello's premier residential area, just 2km from the town's delightful white sandy beach and a selection of restaurants and bars, including the Michelin-starred Bye Bye Blues. The main square of Mondello, where the little harbour and most of the restaurants are situated is a five-minute drive.
Anyone staying at Minerva should certainly spend some time discovering the architectural, historical and gastronomic wonders of Palermo, which is a 15-minute drive or an easy bus ride away. Palermo is also an excellent day out for those who love to shop. Monreale, with its splendid Norman cathedral, sits above Palermo and is not to be missed.
A few minutes' drive from Minerva will also take you to the A29 motorway, making day trips to western Sicily really easy. The Greek archaeological sites of Segesta and Selinunte are just 45mins and 1h20 drive away respectively, while a similar amount of driving time will get you to Erice, Trapani and Marsala.
Heading east, round Palermo's ring road and along the A19 is equally rewarding: the archaeological site of Solunto, the mediaeval seafront town of Cefalu and the Madonie Mountains are all highly recommended.
