We stayed at Residence Valentina for 2 weeks at the end of June. 3 bed apartment. Apartment was very clean when we arrived. Both bath and beach towels were provided and the kitchen was well appointed. The balcony had a lovely view of the sea and a good sized eating area. The pool was very clean and there were plenty of loungers and umbrellas. From the pictures we were expecting a bar where we could maybe buy drinks but it was never manned or stocked but there is a vending machine you can buy drinks from. The gardens were immaculate and the flowers and trees beautiful. The beach is fairly close. It is uphill on the way back. Personally better if you have older children. The beaches had loungers you can rent 30 euros for 4 with 2 umbrellas. They also serve basic food. If you are planning on going on a Sunday arrive very early or pre-book. The residence is a good base to go and visit other areas of Sicily. We went went the temp was very high. Be aware that aircon is extra. For 2 weeks we spent 200 euros. This is worth baring in mind if you have a budget. Also taxis will charge you randomly for taking your cases in the car. Make sure you get a firm price for everything as prices seem to be a bit sketchy. Eating out and drinks is very reasonable.
