The location of this apartment is quite spectacular, as it affords a view of the strait from either the lower or upper apartment. The lower apartment has the advantage of having an extra dining room, but the upper apartment is by far the more stunning one, as it has a large balcony facing the sea, allowing for al fresco dining. Cooking amenities are available but limited by lack of space and lack of a microwave oven, so plan accordingly. Also plan for a steep hike up the hillside (using stairs of course), to access the apartment - this is likely to be fairly typical for all homes in this area. Also note that the tap water is not potable, and bottled water is not provided, so make sure to bring some. There is a grocery store close by, but it is only open until 8 p.m. Restaurants and other facilities are fairly limited in the vicinity. The host, Giuseppe, is very accommodating and went out of his way to make our stay pleasing and comfortable.
