The apartment is a 10min walk from Aspra, a small fishing town, and about 25min walk from Bagheria, if you'd prefer exploring beyond Aspra, would suggest traveling by car. But we found everything we wanted was in Aspra. There are plenty of bars, bakeries, mini markets and even a large Conad supermarket. There are restaurants and pizzerias, many specializing in seafood. Giacomo recommended Colapisci and it was our absolute fave, the Risotto con Frutti de Mare and Toritino e Gelato had me hooked! Giacomo was a great host and had really good suggestions. The apartment was fully equipped with everything we needed. We found that the people of Aspra are very friendly and helpful, the town isn't full of tourists so the locals mainly speak Sicilian and not many speak much English. The scenic views of the sea from the apartment and the private steps down to sea are what made this apartment sensational. The beach is a couple mins walk away, it is both sandy and rocky and if you go for a swim with snorkels, the water is so clear you can see the local fish under sea. The weather in beginning of September is perfect, sea is still warm from the summer. We had such a relaxing time here, would definitely recommend to anyone after a quiet Sicilian getaway.
