We quickly hunted down a new place to stay after the original one we found was unsuitable (be aware, many places in this part of Sicily have inadequate heating, unflushing toilets and other issues) we were thrilled to move into Alice’s place here to stay for four weeks!
Seriously, we stay in a lot of Airbnb’s or house accommodation elsewhere and this place is PERFECT! Here’s why:
Location: right next to the local delis and a (wonderful) walk down to the pier or marina. Honestly could not be better located this!
Cleanliness and facilities: Came in to find a modern kitchen equipped with everything you need (it even has a juicier and such). The oven unit is modern and the fridge too. LOTS of sheets and towels and blankets made it very cosy for our winter stay.
Communication: Alice is a VERY efficient host and being English there were no communication issues for us. She also introduced us to a local guide who we considered going to Marsala with
Bed: super comfy in the main room we stayed in. Imagine the other beds would be as good too
Shower: the one we used in the main bathroom worked great, good pressure
All in all this is a PERFECT apartment stay in Castellammare Del Gulfo - really cannot recommend it any higher!
Note: as a local tip, be sure to stroll down to restaurant La Tonnara which was our favourite restaurant the four weeks we stayed here - wonderful owner too.
