Review Score:   6
Summary: The hosts were cordial and very attentive. The unit is lacking. It is old and charming but not at all as described. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 of the three had air conditioning- with some manipulation and a fan, the third bedroom cooled down. There is no air conditioning in the main area of the unit, living room and kitchen. Could not leave ac on to coolUnit completely bc there is a weekly limit of 100kw and a charge for more usage. The shower has barely any water pressure- very difficult to rinse hair. The area is not one I would choose to vacation in again. We used it as a central hub to then visit other areas of eastern Sicily. It would be more of an area I chose to stay if I had relatives near by and wanted to live with the locals. I grew up in a well kept Italian neighborhood in the Bronx.This was more like the areas I was told to stay away from, lots of graffiti, and trash on the streets.I guess it all depends on what you are looking for… this was not as described.
