The perfect getaway after three nights in Palermo!
Ljuba's place is amazing. Beautiful views over the sea, a big terrace to sit out on and enjoy the local wine and plenty of space inside.
In no particular order the best bits have to be:
- A short walk down to the coastal path and the sea for snorkelling. Note, make sure to take some swimming shoes, you really cannot go in the sea without them due to the volcanic rock
- Rossella, Ljuba's mum, was so friendly and welcoming. She made us lemon and mint drinks upon arrival, had basil plants growing next to the house for our use and was generally always around if we needed anything
- Easy 15 minute walk into the town centre and harbour with some good bars, shops and restaurants
- 30 minute walk over to the lighthouse with amazing views and later on a bar, restaurant and live music
- 'Taxis' that cost €2 wherever you want to go. They're not always the easiest to get unless you speak Italian but can be waved down
We absolutely loved our stay on Ustica and think this apartment was the ideal place to spend it!
