This is a lovely apartment with a beautiful view of aquamarine waters, the nearby island of Levanzo, and the port of Favignana, where you can watch busy ferry boats coming and going all day--just far enough away to avoid the noise. The immediate area of the apt. is quiet, as it is at the further end of the little La Praia beach. A walk of about 5-10 minutes brings you to shops, restaurants & gelato places. Effeci is a great place for pastry. The apt. itself is comfortable and well equipped, and thought has gone into features that make it adaptable for travelers. Great veranda now updated with a larger table and four chairs. The shower head needs updating as it does not stay in place, but there was plenty of hot water. An electric kettle would be a welcome addition. You do need to understand the schedules for garbage collection and recycling--bravo to Favignana for such an extensive recycling program!
