Sicily is a professional renting company. No "private/local spirit" in that meaning. But this doesn't lower the quality of the stay at all because the apartement is very clean, offers, what you need, calm and air-conditioned when needed. The lady from Sicily was faced and very kind. The thing you should know about staying there is the quality of the surrounding housing area. It feels as third world. People don't mind throwing garbage on the street, seem not to care at all about what happens outside of their own living room. The view from the terrace on the bay is beautiful. The view from the terrace onto this dirty battlefield of "housing" really lacks quality. I will and cannot generalise this for Italy. But there is so much "upside potential". For those of you that are from Germany/Berlin: It feels a bit like the premium version of Wedding (just with the view on a perfect ocean instead of U Amrumer Straße).
