We had a very nice time in Michela's apartment. The villa has a beautiful, large garden, with door to the beach. In the morning we went swimming regularly. The water was still quite warm, fine sand, very nice!
Gallina is a good starting point for excursions in the area. There is a lot to see, especially Siracusa.
We would like to come back! Maybe a month earlier, the days in November are getting shorter.
