If you are looking to stay as close to one of the popular sandy Vieste beaches as possible then this is the place for you. Communication with Carmine was great - he let us store some food in the fridge early and made lots of local recommendations. The apartment comes with free umbrella use at Helios Beach Bar and Restaurant, the food is also pretty good there and you get a 10% discount if you mention where you are staying. One negative point for us is that the apartment is located next to a hotel where they have an animation programme running all day and into the early hours of the morning with loud music blasting out. Apparently this is only an issue in July and August, and if you like to go to bed before midnight or value your peace and quiet :-) Also make sure to bring essentials with you like bed linen, toilet rolls etc.
