Alessandra was a great host! She welcomed us with Sicilian sweets, and she was always willing to help with recommendations whenever we asked her anything. Her small house is lovely. It is located at one of the busiest streets in the city centre, so there is car traffic from early to late. The kitchen equipment is very basic but enough to prepare simple dishes. Most of the rooms have a fan which is very much needed during the hot Sicilian summer days. To get to the terrace, you must climb two narrow staircases, but it has a nice view and is perfect to have dinner on. We rented a car and parking was easy as there is a parking site next-door. We had a great time exploring the nice beaches and lovely villages and towns in the region and tasting all the great Sicilian food. We definitely want to come back!
