Beautiful apartment full of character and very spacious... We enjoyed being able to have our breakfast on the balcony! We had a car, which is absolutely essential for this apartment as although it's in a good location it is quite a distance to travel to places of interest - parking isn't a problem near the apartment but is very tricky working out the Sicilly parking rules in towns!!
Mariarosa and her father, Nato, were very friendly and did everything they could to make us feel welcome, despite language barrier.
We had a few minor issues with the apartment but were sorted out very quickly. At night, the barking dogs in the neighbourhood can be heard - it wasn't an issue for us but we were aware of them so may be an annoyance if you are a light sleeper!
