Nicole's place is the BEST location. An easy 5min walk to Marina Corta and 3min walk to grocery store. We loved that we could pop down to the little beach for a swim because it is so close. We'd go for a swim in the morning and then walk home (literally 3mins) and make a nice lunch and sit out on the wonderful shaded patio. In the evenings, we made use of the gorgeous rooftop and brought a bottle of wine and some snacks for aperitivo. The view of the sea and island from there is beautiful.
The apartment had everything we needed. I made Italian coffee in the Moka on the induction hotplates and Nicole had even provided a little jar of coffee, sugar and some teas as well as Sicilian olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and pepperoncino! The kitchen was so functional that I made a nice large pasta with fresh tomatoes, basil (from her garden), capers from Salina and tonno rosso. We had that for lunch on a few days (we were able to use the glass tupperware containers she had there to save the leftovers). On other days we packed sandwiches of prosciutto crudo and cheese on fresh baked foccacia to take on our excursions.
I can't say enough about the location of the apartment. It's absolutely perfect. We walked everywhere.
Couple tips: if you like rose wine, the little supermarket carries a Planeta Rose that is soooo good and costs just 6.90 EUR. We saw it other places for 3 EUR more. Also, if you want a special dinner in a lovely place, we recommend E Pulera restaurant. We were on the island 4 days and went there 2x it was so nice. It is all outside in a beautiful garden. It's not touristy and is about a 10 min walk from Marina Corta.
We will definitely be back to stay again!
