This is a great apartment right by the sea, though there isn't a beach nearby, there is one in the town centre and many super ones in the region. There is a road outside the front, but you are one floor up and you can't see it when you are on the terrace. We had a problem with the shower head and Francesco was very prompt in getting a replacement installed, within a couple of hours. The location is beautiful, though do bring a car to explore.
