Arturo and Tatjana picked us up at the train station which was really nice. They showed us the apartment and after that we didn't have a lot of contact any more. They were really friendly! Tatjana did the talking as she speaks Italian (ofcourse), German and English. They left fresh fruit in the apartment and some drinks, beer! We liked that a lot! Appartment The apartment was really nice! It got everything you need. It was on the top floor (3rd) with a roof terras wich looks out over the see! Ideal for a relaxing breakfast with a great view. Inside it has two couches that can be made into beds. One of them was already made as a bed. The bed was hard but it was no problemen for us at all to sleep on it. The airco worked perfect and was easy in use. The kitchen is on the small side, it has 2 gaspits to cook on, but for me and my girlfriend it was enough. There is enough cuttlery and cooking stuff. The bathroom was nice and clean as well. The warm water comes from a boiler, this means that when you use hot water it can run out and you need to wait half an hour to get hot water again. This doesn't happen fast so don't worry about showers. You have plenty of hot water for a relaxing shower. Towels and toilet paper was arranged. Location The apartment is located next to the beach. It has one street in between, so it is nice to be on the beach and have your food cool inside the fridge just a few minutes away! The supermarket is just 50m further down the road. The train station is 15 min walk and the bus stops almost at the gate of the apartment (search the Fermeta pole). It is an Interbus.it and it goes to Taormina, Messina, and Catania. But it doesn't go till very late. There are a few bakery's nearby if you don't wan't the bread from the supermarket. Roccalumera is a small town, so don't expect lots of activity. At least when we went, beginning of July. There aren't a lot of restaurants and places to go in the evening. This was what we thought was the downside. But if you are looking for a quiter place this is perfect. The beach is not crowded. On a quiet day you feel like having a private beach. We didn't have a car so we had to do everything by foot. Public Transport Like I said, during the day there you can travel to all the big cities and the smaller in between. But if you have to use public transport prepare before you leave! Interbus.it trenitalia.com. it depends on where you go if you should take the train or the bus. They both go to the same places but on different times. So check before you leave the apartment. We want to thank Arturo and Tatjana...
