It was a bit confusing finding the apartment when we first arrived. The building number was not immediately identifiable, but I eventually recognized the building from a picture Maia sent me. Once we identified the building it took a while for us to get in because the fence around it made the entrance hard to identify.
Once we got in though the apartment was our oasis. Very spacious, beautiful private deck, gorgeous view of the water, and easy access to the beach. We spent our first day in Sicily just around the house :)
There is a grocery store about a kilometer away. It would be a long walk, but was a very easy drive to navigate.
There are restaurants, gelato, snacks within a leisurely walk.
The neighborhood seemed very safe, and the atmosphere festive and beachy when we arrived on the weekend. During the week though the neighborhood quieted down and it was extremely relaxing.
Giulio showed us the apartment and amenities. He spoke English well and was very responsive whenever we needed help or had questions.
We would love to stay here again and highly recommend it.
