Valentina was great to communicate with and our arrival at the cottage couldn't have been more laid back and simple. There is a minibus shuttle that meets most of the boats that arrive into the port so you need to jump on that, pay 2 euros each (or similar) and ask the driver to drop you off at A Alera guesthouse. Which is just next door. The cottage is rustic and charming. The attraction of this B & B is the wonderful, romantic balcony with two hammock chairs where you can sit and lose yourself in the incredible view. We sat there for hours. Inside, it's charming and a little eccentric. Pros - The decor is rustic -Italian -fishermans-cottage-chic and the bed was beautifully made up. There's quite a lot of stuff in the kitchen, but all clean & tactfully covered in newly laundered cotton tea towels. Our one honest criticism is that shower pressure isn't great - so we swam in the sea. (And no seat on the loo, but this is common in Sicily). But it was all very clean and we had a great stay in this rustic getaway. Thanks Valentina!
