Federica's house is just heaven: The whitewashed house with azure blue shutters sits very close to a small lovely beach and the caletta. The view is brilliant, the water is clean, the beach is v nice (only there are no shells to collect but there are maaaaany bits of broken glass, so probably wear flipflops at the beach), you can wander around sant'elia and its neighbouring villages. There is a supermarket close by and two bars right outside the window which can get a bit noisy but it is fine, once the windows are closed.
We would definitely recommend a car as it is easier to get to places. There is plenty of space for you to park your car and it is safe.
The apartment is even lovelier than in the pictures and there is literally everything! Everything was spotless and seemed very new! We cooked a lot during our stay and we didnt miss a thing! Federica also supplied us with essentials such as coffee, milk, pasta, herbs, tea, coke... She was also always available through out the entire stay and very friendly and helpful- as well as her dad!
If you are looking for a holiday in a non- touristy area, close to the beach- this is you place to be. We will sure come back! GRAZIE!
