Perfect in every way! Il Gitano was like being at home. Every amenity that would make for a safe and comfortable stay was here. The apartment appeared to be brand new with modern appliances and decor. As a seasoned traveller I can assure you that Maria's apartment is the most well supplied apartment I've stayed in....ever! The apartment is bright with two terraces. Although I only used one bedroom there are two bedrooms in the apartment. The beds, pillows and other furnishings are comfortable and the decor is a nautical theme and adorable! There are small stores of different types within walking distance and the Piazza Rebulica for buses to Palermo and other nearby cities is close. As a solo traveller I was never concerned for safety at the apartment or in the neighborhood.. Theres plenty of parking if youre travelling with a car. Maria was a wonderful host and even came back to the apartment within a few minutes of checking in when I had a question about an appliance. She was extremely responsive and recommended restaurants which were great. I would love to stay again and if you find yourself in Castellammare del Golfo Il Gitano would be a most comfortable apartment for your stay.
