Gianfranco’s apartment is just off the Via Roma, really convenient for wandering round the historic centre of Marsala (and also for shops). Having your own secure, locked private parking space is amazing, and Gianfranco was incredibly helpful, leading us in his car around the one way system to help us find it. The spacious flat has clearly been in the family some time with beautiful furnishings in the two bedrooms, interesting bookcases, lots of personal touches in every room, and wonderfully efficient and quiet air conditioning in the main bedroom - we slept beautifully. We loved the little balcony and ate most of our meals out there - it’s shady most of the day, and provides a bright but airier place to enjoy a drink outside. Some of the units in the kitchen and bathroom are a little tired, but this pales into insignificance alongside the overall ambience of the place and Gianfranco’s kindness and hospitality - he welcomed us with a gift of several bottles of wine and we were even lucky enough to visit his family’s farm, and winery. This hosting is also incredibly good value for a city centre apartment. If we ever visit Marsala in the future, we would like to come and stay here again.
