On a trip to Sicily we went to Floridia and decided at the last minute to stay a night. Sweet’s place looked nice in the photos and had an ideal location for us at a reasonable price. There wasn’t a ‘book now’ option, but she responded very quickly and within an hour we had booked and arranged to meet at the spot at 3pm to check in.
Neither of us speaks Italian well, but at check-in she was patient and showed us the place - a sort of oversized studio - cute, clean, perfect for our stay. The coffee pods and assorted oil and salt for cooking were nice touches, and the access to a rooftop area for smokers or just to get a little air is nice.
The layout is a front-to-back apartment style such that the entrance is in the kitchen, with a little futon someone could sleep on, then a door to the large bedroom area, with the bathroom at the back. It’s perfect for a couple or small family, or a group of friends who don’t need separate private rooms.
We were there on a chilly rainy night in November, so we needed the heater which worked but struggled a little to warm the large bedroom area. Plenty of blankets were supplied.
Bed comfort was fine - not super amazing but not bad, shower was nice and hot, no bathtub (I don’t really use them anyway), didn’t test the wash machine or laundry sink or little tv but all looked in order.
Checkout was smooth and quick - Sweet met us at an agreed time for a key exchange.
What a nice stay - thanks Sweet for being kind and making it easy and pleasant for us!
