We just arrived from our holidays at Sicily, we stayed at Valentina`s apartment 08.08-17.08.2018 and still are full of emotions.
When we were chasing for the apartment at Airbnb the most important condition was that the apartment should have the terrace and it should be not far away from the beach.
We liked the pictures of the apartment and booked it, but in reality the pictures unable to convey all the beauty and benefits of Valentina`s apartment.
It is located between in a small village Capo-Calava, between two communes Gioiosa-Marea (the nearest 3-4 km to the center) and Patti. Capo-Calava has access to two nice beaches that have both paid zones equipped with umbrellas and
Sunbeds, and free zones. The beaches are not overcrowded, at one of the beach the parking is free.
The apartment is located a little bit on the hill, which is nice because it is blown by the wind and not so hot as near the beach and not so noisy. The apartment is surrounded with extraordinary big terrace that faces both by big part to the sea and by small part to the sea and to the mountain.
On the terrace there is a patio covered with plants, that gives shadow the whole day, where we had Breakfast, lunch, in the evening watched the incredible beauty of the sunsets and the Eolie Islands, the pearl of Sicily. There is also open shower on the terrace, that is very comfortable. The terrace is equipped with sunbeds, tables, chairs everything you need.
The apartment furnished in Italian country style, with great taste, two bedrooms (main with the seaview), and the extraordinary seaview from the leaving room. Kitchen is small, but well equipped, it was comfortable for me to cook.
Valentina was so nice, when we arrived she already prepared for us water packing, coffee, cookies, scones. She even found somewhere and gave us two guides in Sicily in Russian. She and her charming daughters Lucy and Anna have surrounded us with their wham attention and provided with all information we needed about markets, beaches, events in the city, what ever. We felt as home.
We recommend Valentina`s apartment to a family or couple who will appreciate not only a beach holiday, but also the comfort, coziness and beauty of the Sicilian landscapes.
We are grateful to Valentin, Lucy and Anna and miss them.
