First of all: Sicily is a great island to visit; the combination of culture and nature is perfect and the Sicilians are very friendly and open.

The appartment of Enzo and Anna is on the second (top) floor of a relatively new house. The appartment is large, clean and has a nice atmosphere (fresh and modern without being too sterile). We were there with a family of 6 (3 adults, 3 children), which easily fits in the appartment. The terrace is large and gives a nice view to the sea. The beds are good, the kitchen well equipped, and it is really handy to have 2 bathrooms.

The area is very quiet with only limited and slow driving traffic in the street (if any...). The car can be parked on the street in front of the house, there is plenty of space.

The sandy beach is 2 minutes by foot and is very wide and very quiet (in May there was hardly anybody on the beach, whereas the weather was great!).

Two large supermarkets are only 5-10 minutes away by car (close to Alcamo).

There are plenty of nice restaurants in Castellammare del Golfo (5-10 minutes by car) as to try out the Sicilian cuisine (which is worth trying).

Alcamo Marina is nicely located, it is only 30 minutes to Palermo airport. Trapani, Marsala, Monreale and Palermo are within 1 hour drive, so the appartment is a good basis for culture sniffing.

All in all, we can only be very positive about our stay. Enzo and Anna are very friendly and helpful, they welcomed us at the appartment in the evening of our arrival as to hand over the keys and explain the necessities. Their spoken and written English is good and their hospitality is even better!

"A place to return to!"
