This is quite a lovely and private apartment off the beaten path. Luckily, we had the car otherwise there would be much more walking and buses to get down to Taomina or up to Castelmola. The pool is fantastic, the apartment is pretty bare, but very comfortable, and clean. Carlo welcomed us with a beautiful platter of local snacks and and glass of wine and was very communicative and helpful. I didn't realize that this location was quite so remote, but once I got used to it the privacy and quiet were so nice. It was lovely to finish a book and tan by the pool- just takes a bit of planning to be in other areas at meal time, etc. We enjoyed our stay very much
