Michele was real professional and a gentleman. He accommodated us with a much later than expected check in just for 2 nights and with all the info he provided us of where to go and the nearby places , it felt like we were staying there a week! My wife and I are 2nd generation Italians from Canada and we both speak the language. It was that much easier for all of us for us to feel even more like family and not just tourists as Michele received us. We were very well received. It was really a nice place and we were really impressed with the work that Michele described for the work he put in that house to make it look like really clean and nice as it was.
The only thing we did not like is that old looking and rusty wall that is blocking the view from the beach. From the previous reviews, looks like this wall was just recently put up for some construction going on. As we we arrived there almost 9pm for our first day and the next day we were practically gone the whole day and the night spent at Palermo, this wall was not much of an issue for us. We really liked the place inside, the neighbors very nice and it was very quiet at night so we really do not have anything much to complain about. We still think it was good value for the money as it was close to where ever we waned to go during our very short stay. We went to Palermo and Cefalu. Lots of other places and nearby views that Michele described to us and had all the maps for them. Unfortunately, it was the tail end of our vacation so we could not take advantage of going to all of hose places that Michele recommended to us which were all nearby by to where we were staying. to see everything. No issues with parking the car as there was plenty of parking in the street when we came back at night even though a parking spot was provided to us by Michele.
Michele is a very proud Sicilian and has reason to be. Lots of pride with the work he put in that beautiful house along with a very beautiful area and country to live in.
