We had a really warm welcome , the best was being shown where places in Sicily from the huge map on the wall. We had a list of places we wanted to see and spoke about many more too, we had hired a car which I would advise for anyone wanting to explore.
The apartment was lovely and clean and had all the basics even some toothpaste which came in handy when ours ran out. There is also a supermarket at the end of the road where we stocked up on picnic and snack bits. On the way to the beach there's a great fresh fruit n veg shop which was better than the supermarket, you can find peaches as big as your head!!
If I were to recommend somewhere to stay that was affordable and comfortable this would be the one.
