Claudio's apartmant is an amazing one. Full of work of arts from Claudio himself and others. Every day we found something new, some lovely detail in the apartment. It is moreover a very peaceful and silent place in an old and atmospheric building, located close to the city center (appr. 10-15 min walk). Next to the building there's a parking place where we could left our car for the nights as the parking is free between 20 pm till 8 am. In case we arrived earlier back to the house or left later in the morning 1-1.5 euros were sufficient to spend on parking each time. Came very handy, as the parking can be a difficult mission in every city in Sicily. A local market is located 2 min walk from the flat, where you can find all sort of fresh local goods (sea food, vegetables, fruits, meat, cheese, sausages, etc). The people are very friendly and often offer you tasters, or simply teach you a few useful Italian phrases. Best place to embrace the local culture and community.
Claudio welcomed us with a glass of fine Sicilian red wine. I'm from Hungary and used to drink good quality wine, but this was truly amazing and something special. Claudio left a whole bottle for us, as well as some water, provided clean towels and so on. Nonetheless he gave us a booklet of his work of arts and paintings, with a personal message to us. Great people, with a lot of heart, comfortable, peaceful and lovely apartment and a charming city around us. I think we will return one-day. I can only be grateful that we chosed Claudio and his lovely flat. Thank you for the friendly atmosphere!
