We never met Salvatore but Miss Chiara, who worked at the apartments, was amazingly helpful. She met us late, gave us advice and helped us with everything we needed.
The apartment was lovely and comfortable. It was well equipped with a gas stove, microwave, washing machine great air conditioning in the hot Sicily Summer. The view outside the balcony was not as pristine as the pictures make it appear; I can now see how they were carefully cropped. However it was still a lovely location even if it was more beach town than pristine hideaway. One word of caution...do not trust Google Maps to find the location; get better directions or search for the Alpescatore fish restaurant, which is across the street. Getting lost in Mascali, at night, can be very stressful.
