Valeria and her husband are very friendly and responsive hosts. The apartment is very well located with lots of amenities at hand including a small supermarket and bakery within a few minutes walk. The island is a lovely place to relax and unwind in the evening with lots of restaurants and bars to choose from. We always felt safe and the apartment was relatively quiet for its location. It has everything you need, all the home comforts and is spotlessly clean. We visited Palermo by bus which was easy although took over 3 hours but was worth it. Valeria gave us recommendations for restaurants which were excellent. A wonderful experience for our first visit to Sicily.
