A nice place to stay for a short visit to exlore the east coast, because it is well situated. This is not a place to relax and just stay in and read as the neighbourhood is quite loud. There is a small market and 2 restaurants in walking distance. Everything else (beach, promenade, super market) can only be reached by car. Giulia was a very nice host and quick to help if there were any problems! Sicily is a beautiful place to stay and eat. Learn Italian before you come, most people don't speak english!
