All we wanted to do after a whirlwind trip through beautiful Italy, was to lay on a beach our last day and casually make a short trip to the airport the next morning. Mission accomplished! It is about a 7 minute walk to the beach. A 10-15 minute ride to the airport, a 20 euro taxi, 1.5 euro bus ride for 15min.
There is a large free beach and a paid beach with private locker rooms, and cabanas. The water can be foggy or clear the locals say. At the end of September we had crystal clear water that was serene and refreshing to swim in. There is a pretty pier we walked by day and night, and a boardwalk. He recommended an incredible restaurant Antico Triano where we had succulent, tender steaks (tenderloin, and sirloin), that blew every North American steak house or high end restaurant, to pieces. Then he met up with us and took us for gelato that offered the purest, fruitiest sorbet we'd had in the country.
Francesco is a genuine soul and about the most easy going person you'll meet. His apartment is completely renovated. We had our own, clean and modern bathroom and a great guest bedroom that was the most comfortable we'd had in two weeks.
The town has lots of shopping though more generic then the big cities, some decent restaurants, and all necessities. The draw of staying here is airport proximity, the great sleep, beach, new experience, and a great host.
