We stayed in the apartment facing the sea. The view from the backyard is exactly what is pictured, and is extremely beautiful! There is no access to the water, but there is a large lawn you could lay in during the summer months. The patio is very large with a lot of seating options. Veronica and Alessio welcomed us with a delicious plate of strawberries, fresh squeezed orange juice, and Sicilian pastries set-up on the table outside.
Everything was extremely clean in the room and all of the essentials were there for a short stay. There was no washing machine for laundry, which makes it hard to clean clothes if you are in Sicily for a while. During our stay, the main negative was that the neighborhood dogs barked all night and the walls were very thin. The owners dog was also participating in the barking, but she was also very friendly and we very much enjoyed playing with her (if you don't like dogs, she may be a little too friendly for you :) ).
We ended up having to leave early for an emergancy, but the hosts were very understanding of the situation and allowed us to easily leave the key for the gate.
