First of all, we spent a beautiful vacation in Sicily. The apartment has a large terrace. The view you can enjoy from there is really marvelous. You overlook Letojanni, the Sea and the coastline as the apartment is located on a hillside. We had high expectations because of the good ratings but the apartment has some disadvantages, which should be mentioned in the description in order to allow anyone who intends to book this apartment to consider these points beforehand:
If you sit on the terrace it is quite noisy. The reason is a highway with heavy traffic which lies on the hill underneath the apartment, right between the apartment and the village of Letojanni, on the side where the terrace is situated. The permanent traffic noise is really disturbing. However, it should be noted that the sleeping room, which is on the opposite side of the apartment, is quiet.
As regards the location of the apartment, it is outside Letojanni village in a residential and hotel area. In the neighborhood, there are no restaurants, shops, cafés, etc. It is recommendable to use a car to go to Letojanni. Another option could be to use the elevator of one of the nearby hotels. Especially when it is hot, walking the whole way to Letojanni downhill and afterwards uphill is not very convenient.
If you intend to cook your own meals in the apartment you should be aware that the kitchen area is very small and not well equipped. It would be nice to have more dishes, cups, pots, glasses, etc. The portable barbecue on the terrace cannot be used. It is completely rusty.
In order to provide a first orientation regarding the area and make it easier for guests who come to this place for the first time to better find their way, it would be helpful to keep an overview of the places of interest in the apartment, for example a folder with information on the supermarkets, how to reach the centre of Letojanni on foot, where to deposit the garbage, etc.
