We found this to be a gem of an apartment. The balcony has a sea view and the property is a short walk to the sandy beach. The small town of Balestrate has the perfect balance of Sicilian community life coupled with the odd tourist attraction (Piazza and sea beach). The apartment itself is clean and well equipped with little touches which make it homely for any guest. Our host was attentive throughout our stay, and we are already looking into returning next year.
