Pietro's place is in a great location and would be nice in the Sicilian hot summer, no doubt. His co-host, Giuseppe, was lovely and a delight to work with. However, as the middle of winter is cold and the apartment gets no sunshine and little light, we were very cold. The reverse cycle aircon did make a difference, but once it was off the place was cold again and took hours of reheating. Probably just the nature of the building.
There were some other issues and we decided not to stay for the full booking. Pietro was very accommodating in our departure and we were grateful for easy dealings.
