Mida Lounge Bar In Palermo

Terrace on the Mondello seafront, very nice location but not well maintained, even if the menu had enough choice, only pinza, club sandwich and appetizer tray were available, for dinner, something not specified on the menu, high prices. 2 pinza with 4 slices of mortadella, 2 club sandwiches, 1 diluted spritz, 1 water, 1 beer, 85 euros

Three stars, because the person serving the tables was very rude.

Deckchair rental for the day at €33 for two. Nice and affordable cocktails (€7). The food is simple but not cheap. On the other hand, the beach and swimming are incredible!!! The sand is fine and the water is transparent, you can stand for 50 meters and the water is warm.

one of the best places for an aperitif by the sea.

The Italians have the, to me, the strange system of privatising major parts of their best beaches. These are monopolised by the companies renting out loungers and umbrellas and often have a bar or restaurant at the top of the section of the beach. So it is for the Mida Lounge Bar Valdesi in Palermo's favourite beach in Mondello. The prices and the quality offered often reflect the fact that the facilities have a captive audience and that their customers are paying for the location (and it's rent!). That said, the Mida Lounge Bar Valdesi was a pleasant location, essential for a beer on a hot bank holiday afternoon and with acceptable prices.

We were at the beach connected to it. All was clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful.

We've been here a couple of times, and everything's excellent, from the beach service to the lounge bar... but unfortunately, everything's made frustrating by these unauthorized vendors who shout "cocco," "Aperol," and "beer" all day, leaning against the beach's wooden barriers or standing in front of the red gate leading to the beach for hours on end... so much so that it gives you a headache... They also enter the private beach, wandering among the loungers and offering tattoos, massages, various drinks and alcoholic beverages, making it impossible to relax. Another negative aspect is the guests who smoke without respecting their non-smoking neighbors. I hope the establishment takes action.

The location allows you to both dine and swim by the sea, but unfortunately, the sun lounger area in front is not available to hotel guests. The food menu isn't extensive, but it's adequate for appetizers. The waiters have a unique approach, but we can't say they're particularly good in the service sector in Italy anyway. In terms of value, it's a good venue.

My expectations were not high yet I found this beach club pretty disappointing. Overcrowded and overpriced. Despite the online reservations we had to line up for more than ten minutes just to get the entrance bracelets. The water was pretty clean, but the overall facility has nothing more than sun beds & parasols and six outdoor showers.

It was wonderful coming to Mida.
