Salvo was very welcoming and accommodating. We arrived even later at night than anticipated after having problems with car rental pick up and still got a smiling welcome when we arrived. There was a really useful welcome pack which meant we had the basics and didn't have to go out early the next morning to search for breakfast or even lunch.

It is a ground floor flat with the kitchen/living area opening to the terrace, and there are also 2 large bedrooms which could also be living areas - 1 bedroom opens to the terrace and the other opens to the steps/passage which take you up to a little park or down to the town centre/promenade. There is 1 bathroom.

Castellammare is a nice little town and all the best parts are close to the flat within 5 minutes walk: the promenade/historic centre, the beach, the fishmonger, greengrocers with fresh seasonal produce, the bakery.

Parking is very easy right in front of the flat. The street is quiet and there is a nice view from the terrace - just like the picture. It was a good base for day tripping around the area - we did a day around Scopello, a day to Trapani, a day to the ancient temple at Segesta followed by the natural hot spring.

There is a washing machine, a kitchen with everything you need including an oven.

There is a barbeque on the terrace so every morning we would buy fresh fish or meat and veggies and then every evening we grilled them for dinner. We prefer this to restaurants/cafes/pizzerias but there are also those options close by.

We are a family - 2 adults and 2 kids and there was plenty of space for us. We were mostly on the terrace. We were there in spring and the temperature was perfect but I imagine in summer the flat stays cool - there is air conditioning and the terrace is shaded. We had a great stay.
