This was a great base for visiting the wonderful cities of SE Sicily. Just one road away from a nice little beach - there is even a man who delivers fresh croissants to the door each morning. Alessandro is a very friendly host who took trouble to explain to us where to eat locally and suggest good places to visit. He answered our texts quickly to arrange meeting at the apartment.
When we had a problem opening the washing machine door his mother-in-law downstairs was happy to help (although we did have to speak Italian to her). (NB if you use the washing machine, don't forget to put the outflow into the sink or you'll have a flood)
