We arrived at Castellamare without any problems, it is ca 40 min by bus from the airport. Castellamare is a very cute small city. It's underneath a hill and the appartment is in a tippicall sicilian street in the old town. Maria was waiting for us. She was a very kind host and showed us the appartment. She welcomed us with a plate of fruits and let us then settle in. She was always approchable and answered all our questions very quickly. The appartment is new, and the whole house is very nice and renovated. The appartment is perfect for a couple or a small young family. We cooked whole meals in the kitchen and enjoyed the sea view from the balcony while eating .
It is 3-4 minutes walking distance from the corso, where you can enjoy the atmosphere of the city with all the bars and restaurants.
The beach in Castellamare is a bit tricky, i advise everyone to rent a scooter or car and visit Scopello and Zingaro. We would come any time again cause we felt like home in the appartment :)
