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! :)
