We can highly recommend this place! Communication with Jochen/Katia was just perfect - very fast reply before our arrival and also when we had questions during our stay. Check in / out was absolutely smooth. We took a rental car from the airport in Catania to Calabernardo. The apartment is easy to find (with the help of googlemaps / Katias detailed description). Graziella, who lives in the same house, welcomed us and took a lot of time to show us everything in the apartment plus offered several recommendations for local restaurants and places to visit. The apartment was perfectly clean, looks exactly as on the pictures (or better) and they even provide towels! The terrace with sea-view is amazing, especially to enjoy absolute quiet and relaxing evenings (absolute quiet except for some barking dogs...). You can walk to the sand beach (about 10 minutes), which is clean. We did not miss it, however, there was no service (no offerings of umbrellas/sunloungers/beverages/food) at the beach. At that time of the year we had the beach almost completely for ourselves - 10 other persons at the most at the same time at the beach. Just perfect! In general there is very little tourism end of May/beginning of June and Calabernardo is very very quiet (no supermarket, no bakery, two (old) restaurants). However, just few km from Calabernardo in Noto there is plenty of good restaurants and also just about a 10 minutes drive from the apartment you will find a huge supermarket where you can buy everything you will need for breakfast/cooking/etc. Overall, if you are looking for a quiet place to relax and to enjoy sun and beach, this is definitely the right place to stay!
