We came to Francesco’s place to stay our first two nights in Sicilia, and it was absolutely wonderful! From before our arrival, Francesco kept great communication—always replying quickly to messages and reaching out with helpful tips.
The apartment itself is located at the end of the road directly in front of the beach—can’t beat the views! We loved sitting on the terrace out front as well as the on the rooftop. Out first day was unfortunately cloudy, but the second day we could enjoy the view of Mt Etna from the apartment. Overall the apartment was very clean and met our needs completely. Francesco’s mom met us for check in and she was very kind, friendly, and helpful. We definitely had more than enough space (only three of us stayed), and the accommodations were comfortable.
Excellent hospitality upon arrival and throughout. There is a bar down the road within walking distance (as well as a small snack stand and of course the beach). For other places (super market, restaurants, etc.) you will need to drive, but it’s very easy. We drove into Lentini one day and Catania/Mt Etna the next with no problem.
I would absolutely recommend staying at Francesco’s! If you are looking for a place in Sicilia near the water, you cannot beat this place!
