Situated in the beautiful scenery of the Gulf of Zafferano and Mongerbino, only 10 km. (1 train stop) from Palermo, Aspra is a tranquil, working fishing village where you can experience the traditional Sicilian way of life.
There are numerous seductive bays with excellent swimming, all within walking distance of the apartment and a good choice of quality seafood restaurants and pizzeria to dine out.
Alternatively, if you prefer to cook at home you can buy the 'catch of the day' from the local fishermen on the sea front.
There is a pleasant promenade where you can take an evening stroll and sample some of the best ice cream in the whole area, while watching the sunset over the bay of Palermo.
The apartment is in the heart of the village; just off the piazza and 50 mt. from the beach, with sea views and a balcony all the way round. It has 2 bedrooms (a double and twin), a bathroom, a spacious kitchen with washing machine and comfortable lounge/dining room with a double sofa bed. The apartment can accommodate up to a maximum of 6 people.
There is also air-conditioning/heating, TV and CD player for your use.
In the adjoining town of Bagheria there are marvellous noble palaces to visit including, 'La villa dei mostri' (the palace of the monsters) and 'Villa Cattolica' which permanently houses the Renato Guttuso museum (a very famous Sicilian painter).
Aspra is also conveniently located for exploring the northern Tyrrhenian Coast which encompasses the lovely, picturesque villages of Porticello and Cefalù.
