Holiday Home Castle Salemi - Casa Vacanze

I went for a 2 week course at the ceramics school in Salemi. It was a perfect central location, and easy to get to everywhere. For the price and value it was an awesome choice.

Proprietario super gentile e disponibile. Appartamento vicinissimo al centro, molto accogliente e ben curato.

The room is very close to the city centre.

The room is a rebuilt garage so you are on the street level and I didn’t feel safe having the wooden inner door open to have some daylight.

Wonderful location right by the central square. Clean and comfy beds.

This is a review for the room on street level, not up the stairs. There are no actual windows, only textured glass to let light through behind big shutters. There is no balcony like described in the info. Quite a strong damp smell. If you stay here, I would advise getting one of the flats up the stairs instead.

The apartment was very close to the centre, at walkable distance from the local bakery, minimarket, butchers, etc. Since it was so close to the centre it allowed us to go on frequent lovely walks during the day and evening. Even though it could be quite busy with cars, the flat was quiet enough and there wasn't a lot of noise. Everything was nice and clean at arrival and the appliances looked brand new. Enough kitchen utensils to prepare food daily. The internet connection was fast enough for my partner to be working remotely while I was also using the wifi. The host was very responsive and eager to help - also made sure we always had a parking spot available right in front of the apartment.

The bathroom setup was a bit odd - the shower was in the middle of the bathroom between the sink and the toilet (with foldable doors to close when having the shower), which meant that to access the toilet you have to go through the shower and everything would be wet very easily. Also I seemed to run out of hot water quite often during my shower (you will probably be just fine if you don't take long, but ladies beware if taking an "everything shower", you might be cut off halfway). During the cold months it takes a lot of time to heat up the apartment due to the high ceiling. Even though everything seemed to have been renovated recently, there were some bits of paint falling off the walls. These cons are just me being picky though - the stay was really good value for the money paid.
