We had a great stay at Francesco's place - the apartment is beautiful with amazing views of Sicily that can be enjoyed from a private balcony. The apartment was spacious and we were grateful for this as we had to spend a couple of days indoors because of the rainy weather. The location was great for the view, however takes about 30/40 minutes to reach the beach and a lot of steps so be prepared! But this seemed typical for all accommodation in this area
