Cristina's apartment is located 10 minutes walk from the centre of Castellamare and 10 or 20 minutes walk to the beach depending on which one you go to. The beaches are sandy and have crystal clear water. There is free car parking outside the apartment and Cristina recommended lots of great day trips to nearby places, which were a highlight of our holiday. The apartment has air conditioning, which we were grateful for in the 38 degree heat! Cristina went out of her way to welcome us.
