The setting of the appartment is very nice at the sea/pebble beach. It's just a few steps down to the sea where you can do some snorkeling. However the beach was a bit dirty when we were there (beginning of october), but not crowded at all. The close proximity to Palermo is great. (5min car ride to the train station - 20 min from there - or great coastal road to Palermo). The view from the terrace is very nice, however the garden was not as neat as the pictures might indicate. The flat itself is more "used" than the pictures might show. Also much darker as it is partly souterrain. Watch out - the tiles in the bathrooms and corridor get very slippery after having a shower. There are - I believe - three other appartments in the same housing block, not just one, as we thought.
