MariaTeresa was so welcoming and helpful. We arrived later than anticipated (another story!), but she waited and patiently guided us through her place.
Her home is very clean, contemporary and well maintained. It had plenty of space for our family, with lots of natural light.
The kitchen is well equipped for cooking, and also stocked with basics, such as sugar, oil, vinegar, etc...
MariaTeresa generously provided provisions for breakfast, such as milk, juice, jams and biscuits, tea, and even yogurt, bacon and sliced meats!
Parking is at the base of the apartment, on the road, which is private and very safe.
WiFi is reliable and consistent. Her son , Andrea, came over at a moment's notice to help us with any issues.
A 3-4 minute walk from the apartment is an excellent butcher, a Conad supermarket, and bakery.
If you have a car, a 3-5 minute drive away (15 min walk), toward the road that takes you to Valley of Temples, is a selection of excellent fruit vendors in shops or on the road, and even better bakeries and hot tables.
5 minute walk directly to the beach and elegant cafe/bars on the main strip/promenade, or a little further to the sand dunes/open sandy beach and other gelaterias.
The best thing, in my opinion of MariaTeresa's home is the central location to very significant sites to visit.
You can see the Valley of Temples from the balcony!! It's only 10 minutes away by car, or you can take transit.
The Turkish steps were only a 15- minute drive away. These are MUST-SEE, attractions, unique to Sicily , with historical and natural beauty significance. Both were some of the highlights of our tour of Sicily.
Grazie mille, MariaTeresa!
