Stunningly beautiful locale, the landscape of the coast is so stark a wild, but the house is quite comfortable. Note - there is a sandy beach in short driving distance, and a more touristy (but still beautiful) beach in San Vito, but it is also possible to swim directly in front of the property. You definitely need sandals or water shoes since the shore is very jagged volcanic rock, but just past that there is a smooth shelf of rock and and abrupt drop off so you can dive safely. Highly recommended for a morning dip. The pescheria in town is great quality, as are the butcher and salumeria, and although the grocery store is terrible for produce, there are fruit / veg vendors on the street in the daytime who have good fresh selection.
