We never met the hosts at this place but they were very good with communitcation before arrival but also when someone went and unplug the wi fi router downstairs and the internet suddenly stopped working.
The place is well equipped with everything you need for a short stay. There even is a washing machine (although we didn't see any detergent and if you are on holiday like us you be unlikely to bring/buy a box so maybe this is something they could consider. Other than that we found the flat well equipped, there was even a European to Italian adapter! We also liked the little balcony although it unfortunately rained a lot while we there. It might be worth providing an additional towel to wipe the furniture outside down after the rain.
The wi fi does not work very well in the flat, only in the kitchenette which may be relevant if you need to work on your computer and like to watch streaming services. The doctor's office downstairs can also get busy during the day although it didn't bother us, just something people mighzzt want to keep in mind.
The reason we decided to deduct some stars from this review is that the cleaning was unfortunately done only very superficially. For example, they clearly don't check the bedside drawes - we found a watch and also some used tissues. There was also some sort of brown liquid in the kettle (may have been coffee but we werent so sure and didn't use the kettle). There were also some unidentifiable.... pieces in the shower and behind the tap of the sink.This could all have done with a little care and it looked like the cleaning was done very superficially. Generally, the flat could use a little TLC but it was mostlly the cleanliness that we felt was a bit of an issue.
The small town where the flat is located could be cute and charming, a little away from the hustle and bustle of Palermo but it's mostly frequented by locals, not necessarily by tourists. This could be a good thing but, unfortunately, it also means that the coast is quite littered with rubbish. The sea access in town is very rocky, there are some lovely sandy beaches only a 10-minute-drive away. We also loved the nearby church Santuario die Santa Rosalia, a little church built into the mountainside. There is public transport in the area but it does not seem to be the most realiable at all times so renting a car would be beneficial. Finding roadside parking in one of the quieter streets near the flat was never an issue during our stay.
Overall, this is a good place to stay although we had wished there had been a little more attention ti the detail when cleaning.
