We spent a lovely week at Silvy House at the end of June 2014.

Hosts: Our hosts were very pleasant and helpful and a problem we had in one of the bathrooms was fixed very quickly. They also left us some fruit and essentials, which was much appreciated.

Location - the apartment is at the edge of the town, 5 minutes drive
to the centre and the port (15 mins on foot, maybe a little more on the way back up as it is on a hill!). The location is very convenient for getting out onto the motorway in order to visit attractions and for Palermo airport. Some people have left comments about the noise from the road - this is undeniable but not unbearable. Just pack your ear plugs if you are a light sleeper.

Castellammare del Golfo has plenty of shops and cafes and a good selection of restaurants, especially at the port. It is also a very picturesque town! Nearest local beaches are 10 mins drive from the apartment.

There are 2 supermarkets within 2 minutes walk.

Apartment - The apartment is very large (2 large bedrooms and one smaller) and the shared space including the balcony is brilliant for eating at home. The apartment came with all the bits and bobs you need like towels, hand soap, hair dryer and kitchen basics such as salt, olive oil etc. Top marks for cleanliness.

Off street parking (you do need a car to make the most of the area) & wifi were very useful.

All in all a very good booking, thank you Giuseppe and Maria!
