Giovanni our host was wonderful.
The apartment was small but well thought out and the bed was very comfy. The main winning feature was the terrace! Large, private and very relaxing. Deckchairs very comfy and was lovely sitting there watching the sun going down with a nice glass of wine!
The apartment is really in the main working area of the port, so it can be noisy, but it was interesting watching the men working at their various trades and seeing the fishing boats coming and going.
There are a few restaurants nearby too if you don't want to walk too far.
Best restaurant we visited was La Bottega Fusion Cuisine which was just a minutes walk down the road from us. It was expensive but we had the best meal ever there and it was an exceptional treat of fresh seafood cooked in imaginative and delicious ways. The waiter, Frederico was lovely too.
Mostly we ate up in the town. But be prepared, if walking, that there are a lot of steps to get up there, but they are well laid out and not too exhausting. Sciacca is a really interesting small town to explore. There was also a street art trail that was just off the main piazza and around some of the old streets of Sciacca. Giovanni very kindly took us around it and explained to us the murals we saw on the walls of the houses all painted by independent artists, some local to the area, some from Palermo and beyond. It was really interesting and should not be missed.
You do need a car to explore this area properly as the best beaches are at least a 15 to 20 minute drive, same if you want to visit any of the archeological sites.
All in all, a really enjoyable stay, a friendly town, great beaches, interesting archeological sites to visit, great restaurants and great wine! What more could you wish for!
