Even though the house is 'off the beaten path', it is an energetic area. A pharmacy is just around the corner, which carries a few basic everyday items. Parking for a car is approximately a city-block away; and a couple of turns gets you back to a main road, where you can find fresh bread, local produce and a few eateries. Tuesday morning's open air market is a 3-minute drive, or an aerobic walk up a few steep streets. Moving through the house requires some mobility, as the kitchen and bathroom are in the bottom floor, with bedrooms on the second and third floor. If you typically get up in the night, especially to use the bathroom, you will find yourself debating whether it is worth it to get up and go down two floors. Plenty of coffee and bottled water were available upon arrival. If you like to cook, you have a few pots and pans, as well as appropriate utensils. The heater is in the third floor bedroom; so, on cold days, be prepared to dress quickly in the bathroom on the first floor. If you need internet to work, I found that it is only reliable in the third floor bedroom, where the router and the flat-screen TV is located. I did not purchase an Italian SIM card for my smartphone and had to leave my phone on the third floor, to receive phone calls, texts and emails, when in the house. It is a charming property in the historic district, and the minimalist decor was calming. The owner was quick to respond, when I could not find an item in the kitchen. The town of Mussomeli is quaint, and the people are welcoming and generous!
