Right from the start, as soon as we booked the place as early as a week before our trip had even started, Ilaria was available for help. We were in contact regularly, where she gladly gave us information about the room and the area, as well as helped us with anything else we could have needed. On check-in she gave us a warm introduction and showed us everything the apartment had to offer. We must admit, there were many occasions where we noticed just how well equipped the place was. It had everything we could have needed - especially the kitchen, where we enjoyed cooking fresh meals daily. The apartment itself is very easily accessible from the airport, with just a 25 minute train ride to Sferracavallo and a ten minute walk to the apartment. With a thirty minute walk along the coast, you will find yourself at the nature reserve. A perfect area for Snorkeling. We were there many times and loved swimming amongst the small fish in the pristine waters.
The apartment is situated in the heart of a beautiful small town, just a two minute walk from the Harbour. A few steps away from the front door and you will find the best ice cream around. There is also a cosy spot right next door for people to sit and enjoy their food. Palermo central can so be easily accessed via the train service. We can greatly recommend a day trip over to Cefalù, which is also easily reachable by train.
The town gave us a very traditional feel and we very quickly felt part of Sicily. The area around just has so much charm to it. Ilarias home and her family were a pleasure to meet and we can't recommend them enough.
Thank you again, Ilaria and Sferracavallo, for a memorable holiday. We will be back! :-)
