Antonio's place is fabulous, just perfect. Recently renovated, very stylish, as expected from the pictures. Paulina met us as arranged and she was supersweet! The flat is just perfect, bubble bath, rain shower, air con, kitchen, TV, everything worked a doddle. On top of that, the location couldn't be better, just in the middle of the historic centre, next to the castle. Montalbano is a very picturesque medieval town, off the beaten track and locals were all friendly and happy to help. Of course, it helps if you speak Italian, like we do, but I'm sure you can get by with other languages if make good Italian hand signs LoL. Tips - explore the area, there are Natural Parks, archeological sites and lots of tracks for mountain hiking etc. The views from the top of the mountain are breathtaking. If you drive a big car, be warned that the historical centre has very narrow streets but you can park in the main square and it's only a 5 min walk up the hill from there. Otherwise you can park just outside the flat. Choice of restaurants is limited in winter but you can have a decent meal at the old cinema and you can book at Il Gelso in advance. Enjoy true Sicily.
