The apartment is located in the heart of old Scicli, and the terrace has a great view of the two of the oldest churches in the town. The interiors have a strong touch of the owner, and give the house a lived-in feeling. As the different spaces (terrace, main kitchen, bedroom) are spread out over three floors, one ends up climbing up and down a lot. Those with bad knees are forewarned.

The first impression of the apartment was not pleasant for me, as it appeared as if the main bathroom had not been cleaned before our arrival nor some while ago: stray hair were lying on the shower floor and in the toilet bowl, and the bathroom fittings had calcium deposits, used shower gel bottles were lying around. This could be because our host had been out of town during our visit.

The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed to prepare meals. However - and that holds true for the whole apartment - things are all cluttered into drawers and one has to have the patience to search and find the right spoon, wine bottle opener etc. We found towels in some shelf which were clean but pretty old. The bed was comfortable with good mattress.

Compared to other AiBnB listings and our experiences we had so far, I find the overall value for money poor.
