The location of property is superb by the small beach. There were a few people around during off-season. And when we walked to the beach on sunrise or sunset, there were just us alone. The owners are very friendly: they welcomed us with fruits, some food and wine. Be prepared that owners do not speak English, just some words.
Flat itself is small, but ok for two people: neat and clean. Wi-fi connection was the best we ever had in rental properties. There are houses containing 4 flats in two levels, every flat has own terrace. Next house has again 4 flats etc. It was ok during off-season; we got only 3 neighbours on site. Funny enough, one of them – Italian guy - started hammering 7 a clock on Sunday morning.
Outside space has different possibilities to sit down. There are matured trees around, a lot of birds. We enjoyed the star gazing with binoculars (even Andromeda) before other guests arrived and light pollution grew up.
There was one thing we didn’t like about this property: the kitchen. It was almost mission impossible to cook in the dark cramped corner with refrigerator, two sinks and stove in row. There is no worktop, I was using sink as worktop for spices and products. Air cleaner has minimum power, so if I cooked something, flat was full of smells. Other possibility was to open door (to let mosquitoes inside as well).
For keen home cook it was good opportunity to get local products. We visited local farmers & fish market & good stores in Castellammare.
We picked up this flat because of the proximity to Zingaro reserve: our idea was to walk on different trails every day. But it appears that only costal trail is opened and other trails are all closed. There is no information about reclusion of trails on website, the officials do not give you the information as well, no signs on the map (given by officials by gate) that most of trails are closed. You just see the "no enter" signs on site. By chance we met guy who told us that the upper trails are closed more than year because of fires. Coastal trail & small beaches were nice, but there were so many people even during off-season.
There are some interesting places not far away to visit: we visited old town Erice and the ancient temple at Segesta. There is small museum (free) at castle of Castellammare.
