Giusi was a wonderful host. We stayed over Christmas and New Year and Giusi very kindly decorated the sitting room with a Christmas tree and xmas decorations and left us a traditional Sicilian lemon Panforte which was a very nice treat. The apartment was in the seaside town of Golfo di Castellammare in the north-west coast of Trapani Province, fifty minutes from the capital city, Palermo and thirty minutes from Palermo airport. The town has a medieval fortress and a fishing harbour. The apartment is central to the main high street where there are local shops, markets, restaurants and very near to a very nice wine and cheese shop. We hired a car locally and were able to park it just outside the apartment. The town is quiet at Christmas but we were able to visit all the towns and tourist sights in western Sicily from Golfo di Castellammare using the hire car.
