If you want to truly immerse yourself in Sicilian life then C'era una volta certainly delivers. The apartment is immaculately clean, perfectly proportioned (comfortably housed 2 adults and 2 children) and the roof terrace allowed the 4 of us to embrace the day with breakfast freshly procured from the local market. The immediate neighbors are more than friendly and the... More
