Livia's apartment is really special. I was confused at first trying to find it because we thought it was directly on the beach - it's actually across the last small road from the beach - but it is still genuinely beachfront, as there is nothing across the road on the beach side. When you walk out of the apartment, you walk across a small road and then onto the beach. It's about the best location in all of Lido di Noto. The only downside is the noisy ice cream truck that drives every half hour down that street (that street dead ends into the beach just by her apartment). I found it charming, but some might be bothered by it. While some reviews pointed out the 'noisy restaurant' being a downside, we found the Alta Marea restaurant just across the street from her on the beach to be a wonderful amenity. Livia's apartment was stunningly clean. Everything works - and a market is just steps away that sells just about everything you'd need. One thing to note - there is only air conditioning in the master bedroom. The rest of the apartment does get beach breezes, but just remember it will be quite hot if you are used to western air conditioning. Anyway, thanks, Livia. It's a wonderful place!
