The part of town was very near to the central Bus station, a part of the seaside ( that it's not recommended for swim ) but gives a nice reason to walk on the alley between big boats that anchored in The Port. The block in wich we were accommodated was clean and quiet. Gabriella's apartment was big and roomy with a very hippy vibe. The room has nice view of the port and the bathroom was clean and big :)
She prepared her place just perfectly to give as much intimacy as posible. I also recommend to rent a car so you could see other areas in Sicily as you can easily enter on highway just from her place.
