Our stay at the Casa Azul was one of the highlights of our visit to Sicily. Our hosts were extremely accommodating. Alessandro took us and other guests (for a reasonable fee) on a very relaxing cruise along the coast near Castellammare, stopping several times for us to swim in the warm clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. I recommend that one pay the small premium price to get a seaview unit with a large balcony to enjoy the evening skies with a glass of Sicilian wine.
