As we drove up the winding streets in the historic centre of Piazza Armerina we had little idea of what to expect. We had been given very good directions to the appartment by Massimo who was there to greet us and showed us round on our arrival. The appartment was small, very clean and just what we wanted. We booked for six nights and used this as a base for our day trips to the surrounding towns. There are a variety of restaurants within walking distance; a very good grocer shop just around the corner and lots of places to explore. Massimo spoke very good English and could not have been more courteous and welcoming. We really felt that we had experienced authentic Sicily and would recommend this flat to anyone keen to have similar experiences.
