As we arrived at the station from Palermo we waited to get the bus to the apartment. I contacted host to say that we had been waiting for the bus but there was no sign of it. She very kindly arranged for her husband to pick us up and he was there within 10 minutes. She had a good map and information for us. The apartment has a wonderful view over the beach and the sun shines on the enormous balcony all day. The area is reasonably quiet with bakers, cooked fish shop, deli close by
