We enjoyed our stay at Michele and Filena's Ulisse, Maison de charme. Both hosts are wonderful! Communication was fast and great from the beginning. Before arriving we set the meeting point at the harbour near Bar Charlie, so we meet there Filena and Michele. We left our car there, so during our whole stay in Ulisse we could see the car from our balcony ;) Our hosts helped us with our luggage and drove us to the accommodation which we much appreciated, thanks to that we could avoid carrying heavy bags and a few sets of stairs... To be honest we still have dreams about stairs... bad dreams acctualy ;) about going up and down and up... the whole Sciacca is made of stairs... so be prepared for stairs everywhere... but eventually you'll used to this ;) I'm joking a little bit... Everyone need some exercises!
The apartment is absolutely lovely, beautiful, spacious, clean, freshly refurnished, designed with care and taste in a marine style and gives you exactly all you need. In the bedroom there is a nice comfy bed... just next to the bedroom clean, beautiful bathroom with good shower, nice soft towels and useful cosmetics. In the living room there is sofa and TV and a kitchen area where you will also find what you need. The apartment has to balconies, one, the bigger with two armchairs is overlooking the fishing harbour. Port is busy in the morning and in the evening, sometimes also during the night, you can sit, sipping wine and looking at the people working hard in the harbour. The wievs are amazing, the see is blue and beautiful and the sun is giving wonderful reflexes and lights on the water. So we spent some time in the mornings and in the evenings enjoying the view. The other balcony is overlooking the city and neighboorhood colorful tenement houses. Perfect location to explore and walk all over Sciacca, we loved it. The apartment is located just a few steps to the city center. In the neariest neighbourhood you will find several good restaurants and bars. We recomend after Filena one of them - very nice and with really good food - Trattoria Al Faro.
Filena and Michele are perfect hosts, they are so hospitable and helpful, they gave us lots of great local tips, provided lots of information about the local area and suggested good restaurants. They also provided a Sicily tourist guide, a city map. Would absolutelly recommend everyone to stay in Ulisse, Maison de charme. We had an amazing stay at this lovely apartment! Everything was perfect! I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much Filena and Michele!!!
