Two weeks at the end of may 2017 we stayed in Arturo’s house in the flat facing the sea. We had a wonderful time with great weather allowing us to enjoy beachlife as well as sightseeing. The house offered an excellent basis for all of our trips in the Western part of sicily.
We found the house very charming and as described in the photo galerie and by some of the former visitors. The building is brand new and well done. It is sitting next to Arturo´s own summer house in a very quiet and domestic area of Trappeto.
Trappeto itself offers only rudimentary supply in terms of a gas station, bakeries, post station, bancomat and a small supermercato (absolutely sufficient for all day life). We met several people (now retired) who worked all their lifes in Solingen, Germany. The beach at lido pam pam was a little too „sporco“ for us. We rather went to Alcamo marina or Castellammare del Golfo because they offered „lettine ed ombrelone“.
Arturo and his wife welcomed us and also said goodbye when we left. We had a very friendly relationship with them. Arturo passed by occationally for a chat or giving us help. Here an extra desk for the terrace (as we like outside eating facing the see) or there some equipment for the beach or the kitchen. He was very „attento“.
In summery, we fully recommend this house for short stays (1-2 weeks). It is well suited for visitors who are out all day long and wish to relax on the wonderful terrace in the evening. For longer stays it might be better to watch out for more space and comfort. Of note, the house has several appartments and when fully occupied it is quite noisy.
