If you are looking for a place to base yourself while you explore the southern parts of Sicily, Carmelo’s place is for you. It was very clean and only steps from the water. The pictures made it look a little more decorated and furnished than it actually was. We were also sad to find no coffee maker for the mornings. Carmelo was very polite and responsive sending us everything we need via text message. You are within 15-45 minutes of all the picturesque towns and villages which are great for day trips and for your dinners out. Overall, it was great for what we used it for and we thank Carmelo for being such a gracious host.
