Me and my partner had a last minute getaway to sicily and stayed at Mauro's place as it was close to a beach. Unfortunately we had bad weather but the beach really was 30 seconds away from the apartment and there are lovely restaurants near by. If you want to be close to Palermo but also by the beach this apartment is great! Mauro gave us restaurant ideas on the first day and communicated easily with us throughout our stay. If we were to come again I would stay at Mauro's cosy apartment!
