We didn't meet Luigi but he was very helpful and quick answering our questions about directions etc. His friend came to meet us to take us up to the apartment, which was very clean and felt brand new. It's in a beautiful quiet neighbourhood and the view from the balcony is really stunning. We made the rather tourist-orientated walk up the hill to the striking church at Tindari, and drove down to the incredible secluded beach below the cliff at Marinello. We chose a stop here over Cefalu on the way back to Palermo from the Aeolian Islands and are so glad we did - highly recommend!
