I stayed at Massimo's place for a week and it was just perfect. The location is great if you don't want to stay in the historic centre. The corner where the flat is located is very friendly and it was a pleasure to come "home" every time. The bus to Mondello beach and also to the Capo di Gallo nature reserve (highly recommended!) is practically on the doorstep and only about 25 minutes' drive away. The historical centre is a nice walk of about 20 minutes. The flat is very nicely furnished, a mix of design objects and vintage furniture. I felt like I was in my own little palazzo ;-) Grazie a Massimo !!
