Great apartment for exploring a beautiful, fascinating, unique city. Pietro is terrific. He is very warm and extremely enthusiastic about his city. He communicated with us clearly and came to meet us when we arrived in town to get us situated. The apartment is right in the center of everything (though it is a quiet city, so it is very peaceful, too). Pietro did a great job of designing the place, so that it is quite comfortable and attractive. We had everything we could have needed. He made some great recommendations about places to see, swim and eat, and they were spot on. Mazara del Vallo is really a must-see part of Sicily. The art (both ancient and brand new) is terrific and everywhere. Just walking through the streets is a huge pleasure. The beaches are great and easily accessible. The restaurants are wonderful.
