I have stayed in a fair amount of Airbnb’s and this is by far the most INCREDIBLE! I can’t describe just how special it is, other than to say I felt like I was living out an Italian dream. The photos cannot even show just how amazing this place is.
To start, you open your door onto the most stunning little beach/bay in the Mediterranean where you can leave everything at home and go for a swim. Just up the stairs (literally a few steps up) is a beautiful restaurant with the same view, excellent service and delicious seafood. Across the street there are classic italian beach bars and gelaterias, and everywhere you look there are italian families enjoying their holidays, kids playing football in the streets and Nonno’s playing a game of cards. This might be the sweetest little beach town in Sicily (and only 20 mins on the train from Palermo Centrale).
The apartment itself is so so unique and beautifully decorated. Laura left some pasta, sauce and cookies on the counter as well as cold water, milk, tea and coffee and all the kitchen condiments you could need. As a light traveler, I especially appreciated the bathroom toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc) and the blow dryer. There is so much space for clothes and luggage and just enjoying the apartment. Honestly, I wish I could’ve stayed a couple of weeks. Laura’s communication was perfect and she allowed me a late checkout as I was going scuba diving in the morning.
If I ever have the chance to come back to Sicily, this will be my dream holiday home and I pray it will be available. Laura, thank you for making your home so welcoming and for your kindness, I will never forget this place.
