This apartment is very well appointed and is spacious and clean. The kitchen has everything you need and there are plenty of tables and chairs (inside and on the balcony) to comfortably accommodate a family of 4.
The bathroom is also spacious, light and well aired. The shower is powerful and there is no lack of hot water.
The main bedroom has air conditioning and a mosquito net over the bed. When we stayed, it was very warm and the air conditioning unit was very welcome. The second bedroom had a fan, but could not be kept quite so cool. We did not experience a mosquito problem and had only a few bites at the end of our holidays.
The location of the apartment is beautiful, right opposite the beach of Lido di Noto and you can enjoy views of the sea from the balcony, lounge and main bedroom.
The restaurant opposite sometimes played loud music, which they turned down when we complained. Otherwise the location is perfect for a family holiday. The beach is sandy and the water is shallow and calm (and very warm in June 17). Every morning the beach was cleaned by the council and there was generally sufficient bins around to prevent any littering.
The location is popular with Italian people from nearby areas and the beach gets busy on the weekend - and much quieter during the rest of the week.
Nearby are restaurants, a little shop for everyday food requirements, a pharmacy and a Rosticceria and Gelateria (we bought many ice-creams and tasty ready made meals or snacks from there). It only takes 2 minutes to walk to these shops from the apartment.
In order to visit other places (Noto, Syracuse etc.) it is advisable to hire a car.
We spent 12 days in the apartment and visited quite a few places in and around Noto. Livia has a big folder in the apartments with leaflets of places to visit etc. Please note that most information is in Italian though and Google Translate on a mobile phone comes in very handy!
There are a lot of wonderful places to visit in Sicily and we will be back in the future to explore more. Thoroughly enjoyed our holidays and would recommend Livia's apartment.
