"The apartment and the surroundings are very nice and we will recommend it to anyone. The owners are very hospitables. Castellamare is a quiet and charming town. The beach is very nice."

"we are a family of two persons from Russia, St.Petersburg stayed at Villa Gelvi from 04.06 to 20.06.2009 At was a beautiful time at a very nice place with a very hospital owners Ugo and Deborah! The Villa appeared better then we forecasted and we lived at Scopello apartment. The apartment is well equipped and furnished. Hints: - you have to use a barbecue at the big terrace, grilled fresh meat (from Sisa shop nearby), fresh fish, prawns! calmars! WOW. - you can buy a fresh seafood at the city harbor and at several of pesheria shops (sea food shops) only in the mornings. - you can buy seafood, vegetables and etc at a market place in the morning with a very reasonable price on Saturdays only just about 50 meters from a Villa. (down to the sea by Viale Leonardo da Vinci) - there are a lot of beaches nearby, sandy, rocky and etc. we are strongly recommend a small beach close to Villa which situated near by the hotel you can find this beach picture on the top of the hotels web-site here http://www.puntanordest.com/uk/position.htm ask Ugo how to get there as the hotel has a private access to the beach but there is a path for non hotel guests. - definitely you have to rent a boat!!! you don’t need a license if you drive a boat with 40 horse power 4-stroke motor. You can find a several rental companies at harbor. Be aware that at weekdays the rental price for the whole day can cost only 50 euro (for a whole day! 09am -07 pm). You have to negotiate if you hear a higher price! The fuel cost is always on top. The price I’ve been told is in force in June (I think) Renting price may be up to twice higher at Sat and Sun! You can reach by boat a lot of marvelous places, small beaches which accessible only by boat, Zingaro Reserve and even San Vito lo Capo. - definitely you would need to rent a car if you want to travel around, but we have spent the first week without a car and didn’t have a problems with getting around by foot. I would like to post a links to some images and etc. later. (if this site support the external links) Many thanks to Ugo and Deborah for unforgettable holidays in Sicily, hospitality, help and advices provided. We are HIGHLY recommend to stay here."
