One week in the late september in the south-east of Siciliy resting in Davide's clean, cosy, fully equipped appartement with splendid view from terrace and (!) garden with palms, pink flowers and the constant sound of the sea... perfect! The house is standing in a private area (baia arcile), which is in very good "shape", which means it is clean, no garbage, working streetlights... and two possibilities to go to the beach. Beach with black round stones and lots of waves. For our 4-year-old daughter not the best beach, but whithin 15 to 20 minutes ride by car beautyful beaches with sand are reachable.
It's a little hard to find the "baia arcile", but once you know, it's easy. Google knows "baia dei Turchi", our navigation system didn't. But Davide is very friendly and surely would help you. Don't hesitate to let him help you! ;-)
Brucoli besides has some good trattorias and a little supermarket, where you can find everything you need. The next bigger city is Augusta. And Siracusa is absolutley worth visiting twice!
In short: big recommendation! Very italian, and you have the two most important things in the kitchen: an italian coffee pot and a (whine-) bottle opener. and of cours lots of pans, pots, cups, glasses, plates. One thing missing: a sharp knife.
Go for it!
