We stayed at Francesco's apartment for more than a month because we were conducting research for our master thesis on the island. January might be the least appealing month to go to Lampedusa and still our experience was wonderful. The flat was a good base for our working days as it is right in the town center and yet super quiet. The place have everything one needs but is definitely suited for shorter stays. I bet it works just fine as a vacation house for families willing to spend some days on the island. Whenever I'll manage to go to Lampedusa for vacation and not for work will definitely go back to Francesco's.
