The apartment is spacious enough for a family with children and quite big for Italy in general. There are 2 bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms. The beach is 10 minutes by foot, it's comfortable. There is a free beach near and commercial beach a little more far. Some shops with grocery are just opposite the door and some nice pizzerias are in the same street. All necessary things to prepare food at home are available if needed. There is a nice open-air terrace. Washing machine is working properly. Many thanks for the hosts who were very responsive and helpful. Bus stop to go to Catania, Siracuse, Messina, Taormina is about 10 min by foot (fermata via Dalmazia). Train station for the other cities is 5 min by bus from the same bus stop. Be attentive to the separation of waist in Sicily. Ask the hosts for the proper days to throw out the waist. Neighbours are responsive if not follow the rules. Recommended for holidays! We had a great time and would choose it again if go to Sicily.
