Where to begin? There are so many wonderful things to mention about this apartment, it's location and it's amazing host. First, the apartment has been beautifully renovated to have all of the modern comforts (including AC) while maintaining its authentic old world charm. The finishes are elegant and the entire apartment is complimented with gorgeous antique wood furnishings. With high ceilings and 3 bedrooms, there is plenty of space to enjoy. Both bathrooms feature full size showers and the front bathroom even has a gorgeous view of the ocean. The host clearly takes great pride in maintaining the apartment and everything looks and feels super clean. There is a wonderful deck off the kitchen where you can enjoy coffee, wine or even a meal while gazing out over the sparkling water and beach below.
The host goes above and beyond to ensure that the check in process is not only easy but that you feel welcome and relaxed as soon as you enter. Vincenzo is so friendly and welcoming. He and his family are so genuine and authentic in their desire to make their guests happy and comfortable. They have clearly spent a great deal of time thinking of every single thing that their guests could want or need during their visit. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to find the kitchen stocked with sliced bread, milk, butter, juices, beer etc. The table in the kitchen had two bowls full of fresh fruit and local Fig cookies to enjoy. The kitchen even has a fully stocked coffee station that enabled us to make multiple kinds of espresso, coffee and tea. Plus, honey, sugar, jams, toast and other breakfast snacks. And if that were not enough, they even provided us with tons of drinking water (still and sparkling) which was amazing given the hot summer weather. They even thought of items you might need to enjoy the beach, including beach towels, chairs and umbrella.
Trapani is simply beautiful and the location of this apartment is fantastic. You are right in the heart of the city and can walk all over. Plus, Vincenzo and his family have plenty of info prepared to help their guests enjoy the area, history and food. This apartment and host deserve the highest possible recommendation! This was the place that we didn't want to leave. We can't imagine a better place to stay while in Trapani and hope to return in the future. A huge thank you to Vincenzo and his family. Until next time!
