Benedetto was a fantastic host, very responsive and gave us lots of useful tips on everything, nothing was too much trouble. Giusi and Michele were kind and incredibly helpful too. The apartment is lovely, simple, very stylish and properly equipped if one wished to cook. There was coffee, water, fruit, Benedetto’s own olive oil (delicious) and wine to greet us; nice bed linen and proper bath towels. Beds were very comfortable, things worked, very calm relaxing atmosphere in the apartment and the first time a 2 bedroom apartment on Airbnb really was 2 bedrooms. Sciacca is not a typical tourist town, it felt very local and Sicilian. People are very warm and friendly. The seafood and food in general, and wines, were fantastic and reasonable.
We unknowingly chose the weekend of the Festa Di San Pietro ( end June) in the harbour attracting a huge crowd from all over so it got very noisy and crowded in the evenings, not necessarily a bad thing, but once that was over it returned to what we had expected a pretty coastal village with a working trawling fleet - the seafood was fresh off the boats.
Sciacca is within easy driving distance of beautiful beaches and the ruins at Agrigento and Selinunte.
We would go back.
