We had the best time of our Sicily trip in Linda's place. The Terrace is huge and the view is astonishing. Mountains to the left and right and the ocean straight ahead. The apartment is neat and modern and offers everything you need. Prepare yourself to encounter mosquitoes though :) Linda and her family are super nice and helpful. There are several dogs and cats that will stop by and say hi to you.
The rocky beach close by offers a nice little café with good and cheap food. Castellamare del Golfo is an authentic little city with a sand beach next to it. In Zingaro you will find a nature reserve with beautiful beaches to walk to. Castellamare and Zingaro are both only 10 minutes by car. It is our favorite area in Sicily by far.
