We spent a wonderful week at Orlando's place and were really able to relax in the beautiful garden with a hammock. The apartment is large and simply but nicely furnished. It took us a 10 minute stroll to get to the centre of Marzamemi, which is lovely and offered good dining options as well as nice shops. The beach was also a short walk away; it was quite packed and very hot, which was to be expected, but the water is crystal clear and very refreshing. Marzamemi is a good homebase to explore the wonderful towns, beaches and nature of the southeast of Sicily. Orlando was very nice and let our chaotic family check in earlier, also, we got to help ourselves to home-grown vegetables and herbs from the garden. Orlando's restaurant tips were great! The only negative point was the street in front of the house, which is quite noisy at night (Orlando mentions this in the description and it is only during the summer months), however, being on vacation it was no problem to just take a nap in the hammock in the afternoon to catch up on sleep. We had a great time and would definitely recommend staying here.
