"Tramonto mozzafiato sul mare" is located outside major tourist centers, quiet and peaceful. It is indeed 100m away from long sandy beach. The still of the night is only interrupted by the sound of the sea waves breaking off shore - if the wind is right.

The apartment is spacious, functional and clean. Despite being under the roof it is pleasantly cool without AC. There are two bedrooms (5 beds) and large living room with fully equipped kitchen. Water is not potable (for Americans: in EU water is never dangerous and unfortunately does not contain any bacteria that would *force* one to drink whiskey as a countermeasure; it just tastes funny) but the fridge contained several bottles of water to get started; along with generous welcome offer on the table.

Roberto installs WiFi hotspot (over fast mobile) so all little devices are well provided for.

Besides sea, most infrastructure is at least 5km away (Pachino) - read restaurants and shops- so car is almost obligatory. Or a bike, if you will. Apart from the sea cost, the neighborhood is mostly agricultural. There's a pond nearby, but mosquitoes were few and unnoticeable.

The host, and the neighbours as well, were wonderful and helpful. Roberto was very flexible - we came late due to a long (slow) queue at the airport rent-a-car and we left late in the afternoon to visit Syracuse (1h drive) with empty boot.

No active nightlife is a no-go for some; but to recharge the batteries this is definitely a place.
