The only negative in this apartment is that there is a small water pump noise, 24 hours a day. It's not super loud, but it's there. This is unfortunately common in many buildings in Sicily. Also, if there is people staying in the apartment above you, you will hear them. Again, common in most apartments in Sicily, so if you are a sensitive sleeper, bring ear plugs. Other than that, a very pleasant apartment with great amenities: night shades, air conditioning in living room and main bedroom. There is no air conditioning in the children's room. Internet works very well. Property manager was very kind and is always available for help. He also shared great Sicilian pastries, which were very tasty. Great customer service (above usual one gets in Sicily). Great value for the money. Close to supermarkets, piazza, and the beach. Great restaurants nearby. Note that there is no beach towels, so bring your own.
