This is a spacious, very clean, bright, and conveniently located apartment, perfect for a couple who need both shared space and their individual spaces for their projects. We were there for a month and felt part of the local community by the time we left - although our willingness to try to function in Italian helped a lot. The apartment is a pleasant 5 minutes walk from the old town, within easy reach of the restaurants around the port. It *did* take us a while to find the apartment when we arrived, but this was in part because of road works that meant we had to find a circuitous route. But once you get used to the street system, Sciacca is an easy place to negotiate. We strongly recommend Riccardo's place - we're planning to go back soon!
