Flavio is a lighthearted and responsive communicator. If you do not have a car, this is not an easy place to access from Palermo or to get to the airport. It is about a 10-minute walk downhill to the beach in a good residential area. We were given a warm welcome and use of our own refrigerator and a nice bottle of wine. Flavio's wife, Martina, was very kind and ran a load of laundry for us, invited us to join the family for dinner the first night and kindly drove us to the train station to catch a train to the airport. They have 2 children and a dog.
