The view is beautiful as shown in the pictures. There was plenty of space for 6+ people within the apartment and plenty of off-street parking too. The communication was excellent from beginning to end. Upon arrival, we were greeted with refreshments and cookies along with leftover shampoo and body wash. As we were checking out, we met Rosa Maria who walked us out and helped carry some of our belongings to our car. Anyone we communicated with was very kind and courteous.
Our cons were not being able to use the washing machine because we found it leaking as soon as we got there. GianGabriel’s aunt sent someone to take a look at it but ultimately it wasn’t able to be repaired. This was a bit of an inconvenience as we had to hand wash our clothing throughout our stay. The bathroom had a constant musty smell likely from the washing machine issue. Also, there was absolutely zero water pressure in the bathroom shower and sink if this matters to you.
The apartment is surrounded by other apartments so if you expect constant absolute silence you’ll be disappointed. I was woken up by dogs barking and someone (likely children) running around upstairs a few mornings.
As the listing suggests, you should definitely have a car. Even for someone in shape, in the Sicilian summer heat, the hike back to the apartment from the beach is too much. If you drive down the hill and continue past the bridge, you’ll find a small cobblestone “parking lot” - that’s where we parked and walked down to the beach. You’ll walk past a nice restaurant on the way.
It was a nice stay but we will definitely spend more money next time to be closer to the beach in order to avoid driving at all.
