Unfortunately i understood from the description in the ad that the apartment was a lot closer to the historical centre of Trapani that it actually is (the ad has since been changed to minimise confusion). To give you an estimate - it took me about 50mins to walk to the historical centre (which is quite far in the peak of summer!), about 20mins to bike ride, or about 5-10mins to drive. Parking is quite easy though so i'd recommend driving down from the apartment if it's summer and you have a car. On the upside in terms of location - one of the nicer beaches in Trapani is across the road, and Fabio recommended a fun beach club that's worth checking out.

I didn't get a chance to meet Noemi, however we were greeted by the very friendly and talkative Fabio. Fabio showed us the apartment, made sure we knew where everything was located and then took us through the local sights and recommendations for where to enjoy dinner and an apertif. They have a website that also details this out which is useful in case you forget or don't write down the tips.

The apartment is high spec and spacious, and they obviously care a lot about the environment which is nice to see!

I'd recommend staying here if you have a car, as it's a bit easier to get around, and you dont mind not being in the 'heart of the action'. (I was expecting that i wouldnt be in the heart - but I didnt realise that it was as far out as it was - check google maps so you know what you're in for). Nevertheless, I found it a good base to check out Favingnana (i'd suggest staying out there!), Erice, San Vito Lo Capo, and also Zingaro national park. There are many more places in the region, but unfortunately i only had 4 days so didnt get to them all!
