The apartment is located directly on the beach far from the crowd. There are only a few apartments there, so it is almost private. The beach is sandy and pebbled, and it is super clean. The apartment is just like in the photos, it has a good atmosphere. In the roof terrace there are well-kept plants. The view to the sea and Taormina is marvellous! The apartment is located in an apartment house behind security gates. You can park your car safely in the yard.
The apartment building is not new, but it is in a good condition. There are trains but the noise was not that annoying. This apartment is located DIRECTLY on the beach, you just open the gate and you are there. Note that very often, rails or roads lead between the apartment and the sea. But not in this case!
Having a car is a must because there is no restaurants and shops in a walking distance. Nearby, in Santa Teresa di Riva you can find everything you need; there are many fish shops there with daily fish and seefood. There are many attractions nearby, we especially liked the small towns in the mountains. After travelling around between Syracuse and Messina I can say that location is perfect, I could not find a better place.
Simona and Alessandro are very good and helpful hosts. Many thanks them for the staying.
