I have used Home Away/VRBO to book many properties in the USA and Europe. This apartment in Trapani we booked for 5 nights exceeded any expectation one could possibly have. We were greeted by the hosts a very short distance from the apartment as it is located in a pedestrian area. They helped us with our luggage and opened the door to an incredible view of the sea and Trapani. In the kitchen we found fruit from their garden and a bottle of sparkling wine to welcome us. The kitchen has every amenity you could need for cooking and a coffee bar that was fantastic. There is a wonderful balcony off the kitchen to enjoy your coffee while overlooking the ocean. Off the kitchen there is a main living area with a large table for multiple guests to dine and a TV. Further back there is a room with twin beds, a double room and a large master bedroom with a nice bathroom. Storage in each room is excellent. Closer to the kitchen there is a extra large bathroom that my wife took due to all the space. The apartment is huge and has recently been remodeled with everything you could possibly need. My wife lost a button and even found a sewing kit in her bathroom. Wifi is excellent and cleaning can be done as you prefer. After we viewed the apartment, we were taken in their car for a quick orientation of the city and a really good gelato shop. What a thoughtful touch! The location is in the heart of old town with many shops and restaurants right out the door. There is no way I could give a higher recommendation to our hosts and the property. Their genuine warmth to us as guests is unsurpassed in our travels. They even met us upon departure just to say goodbye We are definitely coming back for another visit. As an aside, we were able to fly direct to Trapani from Gatwick on British Air. The area, which we knew nothing about, was incredible. From the wine tasting in Marsala, to salt flats, the cable car to Erice, great beaches and numerous excellent restaurants, there certainly isn't a shortage of things to do and see.
