Stefano's villa is exactly what we were looking for. The villa has really close beach access via a locked gate (the beaches are public though) and you can walk to Torre a Mare in under 30 mins. the hot tub was a great bonus.
There is plenty of outdoor space, covered and uncovered, and it's pretty private. There's a small number of similar properties near by, it's a very quiet neighbourhood.
Torre a Mare itself is a bustling little town with plenty of options for food and drink. Foreign tourists are not common but a good effort is made to help out with the langauge! We highly recommend Osteria del Porto for Italian fast seafood!
Stefano speaks good English and communication was friendly and easy. We would certainly consider hiring here again!
