Mazzarino: Wohnung in einer Wohnanlage

We stayed at Rita's apartment in Mazzarino for five nights in April. It was in a good location within easy walking distance of the towns main streets and sights. It was comfortable and quiet and close to everything we needed. It made a good home base for driving around the area. Rita was a friendly and helpful host, who seemed genuinely interested in ensuring that we enjoyed our stay in the area. She speaks English, and gave us excellent advice on less well known towns to visit within driving distance of Mazzarino. She gave us pasta sauce that she made from fava beans from her garden and her son carried a heavy bag up and down the stairs for us. They were nice people who we enjoyed meeting. They live in the same building as the apartment, which is convenient. If you are looking for a smaller, more authentic, not touristy town to balance out your visits to all of the famous spots of Sicily Mazzarino is a good choice. We enjoyed our stay there.

This apartment is spacious, comfortable and well fitted out - you feel instantly right at home. Rita is generous, warm and friendly, making you feel a welcome guest. The town is lovely with gorgeous buildings, old squares and wonderful views of the beautiful countryside. We had the best meal of our 6 week holiday at Vidi, just around the corner. We wished we could have stayed longer.

This was a terrific place. Rita was extremely friendly and helpful. The apartment is comfortable, and she arranged the bedrooms to suit us, which was very nice. There was lots of hot water, and pantry items, so easy to settle in. The big outside terrace was very nice. The town itself was great, with a wide main street and interesting churches and castle ruins, and not touristy at all so people were friendly and interested in finding out who we were and where we came from. (The people at the grocery store even gave us a gift of a bottle of wine for having shopped there!) A great experience!

We stayed in Rita's apartment in Mazzarino the nights of Apr 20 and 21st and Rita made us very comfortable and very much at home - and we were surprised and pleased at how big the apartment was - it's a whole floor with 2 bedrooms and terrace! A bargain! Bright, spick and span and had all we needed and very convenient too, both for the old centre of town and for major attractions including Agrigento, Turkish steps, Piazza Armerina. Rita is very knowledgeable here. Mazzarino is a genuine old Sicilian town, not packed with tourists at all, and Rita's place was actually our favorite accomodation on our trip to Italy. We hope to be back for a longer stay. It was great!

The apartment is large enough for 4-5 persons. Kitchen well equipped, very nice terrace, quiet surrounding, comfortable main bedroom (we did not use the other one). But the most important aspect is the very warm welcome of Rita and Rino, the owners. They live in the building just on the upper floor. We had good advises from them, Rita spoiled us with fresh fruits, butter, jam, etc. As soon as we needed something, they tried to provide it for us. Mazzarino is a typical rural town on top of a hill among the fields but you have every convenient thing you need next door to the flat. The surroundings are quiet and relaxing.
