We spent a very pleasant week at Bartolo and Lina's apartment. The mattresses were the best we've ever had on any holiday in the last 20 years!! The kitchen was well equipped with a brand new toaster, a good sized fridge plus pots and pans of better quality than we have at home :-)
The very wide balcony is protected by 3 big sun blinds that we lowered and raised daily, We were therefore able to have any meal we wanted in relative shade. There are no restaurants within walking distance, so from day one we cooked fresh fish on the supplied BBQ each evening. The nearby Conad (800m) supermarket has an excellent fish counter where we bought all sorts of fish and scampi. Bartolo and Lina gave us lettuce and tomatoes direct from their garden which helped with one of our salads.
The apartment overlooks and is about 150m away from a busy road but the blue sea is visible beyond and the view of multiple greenhouses was not unpleasing. Yes, the kitchen being south facing reached nearly 40°c during the afternoons but the air conditioning inside was efficient enough to keep us cool at night.
All in all a very good base for a small family or couple. Our favourite places were Donnalucata just 2 km away and the pine forest behind the beach at Sanpieri. Fully recommended!
