very relaxing summer trip for two to Sicily
- easy, smooth and quick contact with Elena
- Elena hands over the keys personally, then a detailed tour is given, so you find your way around quickly.
- A parking possibility for a rental car in front of the apartment is given.
- very clean and very well-equipped apartment (among other things cooking utensils, microwave, coffee machine, washing machine and an iron with ironing board), the Jacuzzi is a highlight, especially in the evening ! But take mosquito spray with you!
- in the vicinity are numerous shopping facilities
@Elena: Thank you very much for the great and relaxing stay! :)
