Graziamaria's place is lovely. Spacious, sparkling clean and lovely decorated. I absolutely loved the furniture (renovated original mid-century), the books and lots of lovely touches throughout the apartment. The apartment is very comfortable and interesting. The location is great as it is very central and in walking distance to the beach, the promenade, the port, the castello etc. There are many restaurants and cafes around, as well as shops, pharmacies, greengrocers and fish vendors; everything you need, you can find close by. It can get a little noisy but nothing more than can be expected from such location. Graziamaria and her husband are great hosts and I could not recommend them enough. They really care about their guests and clearly want them to have a great time. I was picked up from the train station by Graziamaria who then showed me the apartment and provided a great overview of Milazzo, she prepared a map and a list of recommendations for places to eat and excursions to make and kept checking on me, if I need anything throughout my stay. She also helped me practice my Italian and provided a very entertaining tips on Italian vocabulary and grammar. My week at Graziamaria's place was wonderful, one of the very best during my three months long journey in Italy.
