We had a great stay in Italy. We rented a car and used the flat in Castellammare del Golfo as a base for exploring the region. There was plenty to do and see - we absolutely loved it. In the evenings we used the charcoal grill on the roof-terrace and ate while the sun set into the ocean off the coast of Sicily.
Guiseppe was great - he checked in with us once in a while and was responsive to all our questions about the town and local area.
