Emanuele's help and guidance proved invaluable. thank you!. it was the perfect time. the rooms were clean and check-in was quick. Daily fresh breakfast prepared on a regular basis. Nothing was missing, and if something ran out, it was replenished immediately. The omelette was amazing. The excellent location of the facility makes it close to everything - both to the old town and to the train station or bus from where you can reach almost every city in Sicily. The facility is excellent and deserves really high marks! We will certainly return there. See you!.
