The apartment was perfect for my one-month stay -- I needed to catch up on work while squeezing in quality beach time in a town where I didn't need a car. Andrea was the perfect host: extremely responsive and very helpful with small requests. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting him but he made sure any minor issues were resolved.
The apartment is located in a quiet town on the beach, with all basic services in walking distance. I went Sept-Oct so I wasn't expecting action but Falcone is very quiet at this time of year -- one pizzeria/restaurant open intermittently, three bars/gelateria (best granita at Jolly Bar), a vegetable truck that parks around the corner every afternoon. The small supermarket, fish vendor, chicken roaster, and the best pasticceria (Saporito) are all 20-30 meters away. A larger supermarket is around 1.5km away.
The apartment is simply and functionally furnished. If you need to use Wifi, it's not the fastest and you need to share it with the clinic downstairs two hours every morning. (Note: the internal staircase connecting the apartment to the unit below has been closed off, but you may hear the Dotoressa's voice a few hours in the morning and afternoon.)
I explored the area on foot (Nordic walking): to Oliveri (a slightly livelier beach town with more restaurants), Marinello, Tindari, etc.
There were zero non-Italian tourists I came across while I was there. It would be helpful if you come with a few Italian phrases since the only English speaker I came across was the young pharmacist.
In short, if you want to stay on the Tyrrhenian coast for beach time (nice public beach in Falcone, serviced beaches in neighboring Oliveri and Saiatine), this is the right place.
