We had a very nice stay at the appartment of Laura and Carlo. Themselves were not there but we weten warmly welcomed nu their parents and brother. Communication was a little bit more difficult but soon we find out we could also talk and onderstand a little bit in french, and by translation apps by phone we managed quite well to onderstand one another. We got a lot of tips for activities to do and see in the neighbourhood. Also the father of Laura je brought us several times some nice delicious things to taste , out of his own garden/kitchen. We felt very welcome. The family is very hospatible. The appartment itself was alsof great. Very spacious and clean, and there is everything you need. Also a washing machine. And airco in the bedroom. It was also very nice that there were window meshes against musquito's. The view of the appartment was really beautiful. And we were also allowed to use the spacious roof terrace with sunbeds. The surrounding of the appartment was very peacefull, only the sound of the the cicades or birds around you. When you want to see some things of the environment, at longer distance than by foot, a car is needed. Driving in Sicilië was not that difficult (some people told me that). I only would advise: do not go by car 'in' Palermo, because that's quite difficult I think. (I only saw the traffic there, we parked the car by Bagheria trainstation and went to the central station of Palermo by train). Also to do groceries it is handy tot have a car, because there's no supermarkt very close to the appartment.
