Awesome first time experience in Balestrate
We arrived in Balestrate at 23:30 but that was not a problem for Piero. He met us at the apartment and was very informative, friendly and spoke English very well. He provided some fresh fruit and a bottle of wine for us to enjoy and informed us that if we needed anything don't hesitate to call him. During our three nights we had no major problems with the place. It's a 5 minute walk from a beach covered with interesting rocks and a 15 minute walk from a beach with soft sand and a beautiful view of the mountains. The shower had plenty of hot water although it took a while to warm up. The pull out couch was pretty uncomfortable as well so if you have more than four someone is getting stuck with that. After the three days were up Piero let us check out late because we had a late flight and also organized a transport that exceeded all expectations for cheaper than the cost of a taxi. All in all I would happily come back to Balestrate based on this experience.
Absolutly an Amazing House
It is my second time that i travelled to Sicily and i spent my time in this Faboluous House. The apartment is XVII century, the oldest of Palermo Area. It is very charming and decorated in Klimt Style .100 metres far from sandy beach shop restaurant. SUPER ospitality of Piero and His staff.
I really reccomend it
wonderful sicily
since we landed the scenario from the airplain was amazing as well the overall experience in Balestrate. The house is fully furnished and perfect located, close to the beach and the city center and the train station walking distance too. The owner Piero is always helpful and very kind offered us also a cooking class and giving tips & suggestions about places to visit nearby, higly appreciate.
we hope to visit Sicily again.
A splendid week in Sicily...
A splendid week in Sicily, beetween Palermo and Trapani...near the Sea, Beach, archaeological sites
The town is still a place full of charm, eateries, local customs ... but so close to major cities to visit or very famous beaches (as Scopello, Cinisi, San Vito Lo Capo, etc.).
In minus of one hour, you can go to Trapani and rent a boat to visit Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo or, in circa one hour, you arrive in Agrigento in the famous Valley of Temples.
It is easy to rent a car or a bycicle and there are many facilities to move from the airports to Balestrate.
Surely, we will came back there in the future!
Wonderful sicily
It was my second time in balestrate since i've enjoyed so much My first time. I went there the last week of may with a friend of mine. The house was adorable, clean and situated in a very good position. The house also had 2 small balconies from wich we can appreciate the wonderful beauty of sicilian sea. We found in the house a basket of fresh fruit AND a bottle of red sicilian wine.( we appreciate it so much!) I recommend everyone a stay in this beautiful land full of things to see ( segeste, selinunte, erice, palermo) and of enjojable Beaches and extraordinary restaurants where to eat seafood specialities without spending a fortune! Must have: a car. Possible to rent even on line in li logo( as pietro kindly suggested us) few days before the arrival!
wonderful weekend in may
We were traveling with all family for one week and rent two apparts in the same building in different floorin Balestrate.the mines was absent WiFi and that we have only one key to each appart. But anyway we had super vocation. There were 2 beaches close to the city.it's 5-8 minutes walking to the first (it's like wild beach) and 15-20 minutes walking or 2 minutes driving to second beach.the second one had private beach with bars,umbrellas and deck chairs.in the city were a lot of restaurants and bars, min 5 supermarkets and few stores, few special stores with fresh see food and fish and fresh meat. The weather was very nice, +25-28 degreee and small wind. See was +22 degree ;)
Мы отдыхали всей семьёй неделю в балестрате. Сняли апартаменты в одном доме на разных этажах. Минус отсутствие интернета и наличие только одного ключа на квартиру. Плюс- Были 2 пляжа в 5-8 мин ходьбы до первого (это как дикий пляж) и 15-20 минут пешком или 2 минутах езды до второго пляжа.на втором был частный пляж с барами, зонтами и шезлонгами. в городе много ресторанов и баров, мин 5 супермаркетов и несколько магазинов, несколько специальных магазинов со свежей рыбой и море продуктами.еды и свежем мясом. Погода была очень хорошая, + 25-28 градусов и небольшой ветер. Море +22 градусов;)
