3 flats in San Vito Lo Capo, they are supposed to be in the same complex and may even be next to each other. If you're interested look here  There is one double bed and two single beds in each flat. I had to give the agent our names so they knew who was staying in each flat... so Flat 1: Rob, Julie, Tracy, Pete B; Flat 2: Simon, Carmen, Peri, Pete E and last but not least Flat 3: Steve and his wife, Andrew and Cef.  I've sent the deposit and the remainder is due on arrival in CASH with an additional 50 euro damage deposit/flat.

Each flat is 420euros (total 1260euros) I've paid the 30% deposit so we still owe in CASH on arrival 880 euros or 74.34euros each + the 50euro damage deposit/flat.

The flats include all bed linens and towels so no need to carry them along.

Check out the catacombs of the Capuchins. Approximately 8,000 people are buried in the maze of subterranean passages in Palermo. Some of the oldest mummified bodies are as much as 500 years old or more and yet are incredibly well preserved.

Old Palermo

Often overlooked amid the seething metropolis of the capital city, the heart of Palermo lies in this ancient quarter. In just a few hours on foot you can explore some of Sicily’s most famous monuments and charming squares, such as the Piazza Pretoria. In the midst of all the ancient Arabic and Norman architecture, the daily life of local Sicilians carries on, making for excellent people watching.

La Kalsa (Palermo)

This ancient quarter in Palermo was created during the Arab domination of the city and offers a kasbah experience, similar to what you would find in North Africa. The narrow streets and tiny markets are crowded with locals going about their daily lives. Wandering around this neighbourhood gives one a unique perspective on Sicilian life.

Imperial Roman Villa in Casale

This is one of the grandest Roman villas to have survived from the classical era. It is exceptionally well preserved and offers a real glimpse into imperial Roman living. The highlight sare the floors of its 40 rooms, which are tiled with the most magnificent mosaics to be found in Europe, which date from the 4th century. The villa is open year round from 08:30 until 17:30.
