This apartment was really great - just as described - we couldn't believe it was so close to the beach - could just wander across the road that runs along the seafront in swimsuit and jump into the sea! It is in a small development of very attractive apartments, all with large terraces. Despite being so close to the beach, it was actually very quiet, even on Saturday night, when Marina di Ragusa is packed with locals. What you hear is the sound of the sea - pleasant music to lull one to sleep!
The apartment itself is fairly small - ideal for 2 people - but might not suit a family with young children, though there is a sofa-bed in living room. It is well furnished with comfortable seating both inside and out and very airy, as there are windows with balconies on both sides to allow a breeze through. It came with the basics - coffee, sugar, salt and water in the fridge as well as plenty of towels and shampoo etc.
Our only problem was actually finding it when we arrived in Marina di Ragusa on a Saturday evening. Although I had printed out directions from Google maps, they didn't work as seafront road was closed to traffic for an event. When we eventually found the street, the house number given by Airbnb was wrong - 9 instead of 5. After wandering along the road, I recognised the apartment complex from the photos and then saw a man approaching the gate, who was Fabio's father. He immediately made us very welcome and showed us around. Our host had supplied a folder of useful information, including map, wifi password and contact numbers.
Marina di Ragusa is a very pleasant small resort which is now more accessible as Ryanair has started flights from a number of places to Comiso, a small airport nearby (only found our that when there, having driven from Palermo). Apart from the beach, there is plenty to do in the locality - easier if you have a car as we did.
I would highly recommend "10 steps from the Sicilian sea".
