From the moment we arrived we felt looked after by the family. We are usually quiet guests who try not to bother the owner but unfortunately we locked ourselves out on the first evening and immediate help was at hand. Grazzi mille!
Expect wonderful accommodation in a traditional building - living like a local, but with personal designer touches within the apartment. Everything works well, comfortable beds, plenty of spacious airy rooms and all of the facilities you would need. Very good WiFi and TV. Bathrooms and kitchen immaculately clean.
The accommodation is quirky, homely and is in a neighbourhood which is close to the main centre, yet has a local ambiance all of it's own.
Turn right out of the building and you will find your 'corner shop' for buying water and milk for example and La Brace, a locals restaurant where you can either eat in or take away just about anything you can imagine. Just around the corner from that you have the local bakery. Also you will find a nice bar called Barrel 44 on Via Principe Di Belmonte where we always ended up!
Turn left out of the building and you are at Theatre Massimo within 10 minutes walk. In fact we walked for miles and also jumped on the train and went to Cefalu for a few hours which only cost just over 10 euro return.
A great stay with great people. Never been to Sicily or Italy before - loved it!
