We really enjoyed our stay here! The apartment is lovely, a good size for 2 with a great view of the marina from the balcony. It is well equipped and comfortable. The town itself is very nice, with lots of great restaurants, & this place is located right in the centre on a nice street. The cafe below the apartment is great. We hired a boat (very reasonable) & toured the coast, where there are beautiful bays & beaches - it was fantastic! We weren't sure what to expect of Castellamare del Gulfo and were very happy with what we found. Recommended!
