We -- a family of three with a 4.5 year old -- had an amazing stay at Maria and Francesco's place. The apartment is easy to find and is strategically located in the middle of the town -- very close to the beach and the promenade yet sufficiently far enough to not be disturbed by those walking along the seaside at night. There is an amazing fish monger to the left of the entrance (oysters at 9 euro / kilo. Hint: bring your own oyster knife!) and a little fruit&veg shop to the right where the kind owner kept giving our daughter sweets each time we came in. The larger supermarket is 100 m down the street on the right. Francesco kindly helped us with parking on the first day but then we had no trouble looking for parking spots along the street (look for the spot across the road from St Pancras's church or along the streets. Most spots are reserved for the residents; hw we had no problem parking there).

As you enter the apartment, there is a choice of beach umbrellas that you can bring with you. The apartment is on the top of the building after a few flights of stairs. There is an amazing large terrace in front of the flat (it is located on the roof of the building) with lounge chairs and a table. Perfect to relax on when the little one is asleep. There is not much of a view as you face another building; however, as mentioned earlier, it is quiet in the evenings.

The apartment is large and very clean, fully equipped for a summer beach holiday, including olive oil to cook with! The aircon works well in the main room, although it can get a little hot in the other bedroom. If you keep the window open, the temperature becomes comfortable. The hot water comes from a tank, however, we never ran out. There is a washing machine. There is also a child's cot.

Maria and Francesco were very kind, helpful and generous, taking time to explain about the area and welcoming us with Italian delicacies. They also run a B&B nearby, which is worth exploring.

We had a perfect holiday and are happy to recommend it.
