I recommend Mark's flat all of my heart. There was very clean, near the beaches, shop and restaurats. Only 0,5h to Palermo by bus. To shingle beach 2 minutes walk, to sands 15 minuts walk. Theres no Tabacchi (shop where you can by tickets) so you should go to Mondello (sands beach). From airport you can arrive only taxi (40-50e). You can live near Italian and feel like one of them :). We want really tkans Mark's dad. He was very helpfull and kind. Marco we hope we will back soon to you place :)
