Ignazia was waiting for us when we arrived and her husband helped my husband carry our heavy suitcases up to the first floor which involved several flights of stairs. i always forget that in Europe the first floor is equivalent to our second floor in NYC. We were shown everything in the apt. & up on the roof terrace. There were other directions in a booklet they made up describing what to do if something stopped working & in the book there was information about the sites in the area & a map. The only thing missing was WIFI and we couldn't find anywhere in town to buy a sim card. We enjoyed going on day trips to Erice & the salt flats of Trapani which are mentioned in the book. We were one street away from the main street which went directly down to the beach. There was a convenient market a block away & great restaurants in town. We ate in Syrah one night at #36 on the main street & the meal was great. Another night we stopped at a tiny restaurant a block before the beach on the left side of the street if you head to the beach. It had a blackboard outside with the specials & a small menu with everything we ate from it was superb. It had moved from a side street & was just open a week but the food was great & a little better than some of the touristy restaurants. All the people eating there were locals, the 27 seven year old owner was also our waiter.
