Lovely house in a nice location. The shaded terrace is great - our favourite place for hanging out. A short walk (750-800 adult steps) to the nearest sandy beach (arrive early on weekend). The walk may not be the most picturesque (addressed by other reviews) but you get a lovely beach for adults and kids and there is free area and a new lido with a bar (and friendly staff), too. The house is equipped with all the essentials and is comfortable. Supermarkets are within 15-20' drive, the village itself has limited shopping. Great base for exploring the east of Sicily or for just chilling out on the beach and in the beautiful garden. Claudio is a great host and offered great advice and suggestions for things to do and places to eat. Some lovely treats were awaiting us - thank you. he was very friendly, welcoming and flexible. We and our primary school age kids loved our stay at Claudio's house.
