Great location close to the beach, Isola Bella, restaurants and some small convenient stores. The driveway is steep and uneven to access with luggage, but we knew that from previous reviews. (And, as a big fit American guy pointed out to us at the top of the stairs from the beach, 'every day is leg day in Sicily.')
The room is simple but spacious and prettier than depicted (I especially liked the ceiling lamps :)). It's not completely private - other guests walk past the windows to get to their rooms above - but it rarely happened and did not bother us. The view is great. The sunrise magnificent. The large terrace is in full sun until late afternoon and so it was too hot to sit outside during the day. A table umbrella would be good. Note that there is no wifi. Phone reception was good though.
Merilu was a very helpful host.
I recommend this accomodation, and would definitely return.
