Gabriele was really flexible during our stay. He informed us about great places in the area upon arrival and gave us his personal number for any further questions. The apartment was actually a renovated attic, which if I recall correctly, was done by him and is father. They did an excellent job doing so, but being an attic the apartment is probably a bit difficult for very tall people or people with reduced mobility. The location, for us personally, was less ideal. It’s close to Bagheria and Palermo and thus it’s quite busy on the streets, in the traffic and in the area. But if you’re planning to go to Palermo the location is probably perfect, and there is a train station nearby which takes you there for only €3. That being said, we do advice you to rent a car, because the nicer beaches are between Termini and Cefalù (25-45 min drive).
Oh and do visit ristorante ‘Baja dei Fenici’. The view is lovely and it’s not far from the apartment. You’ll love the man who helps you out of the parking lot with his whistle.
