Check-in went very smoothly, we met Alessandro’s mother in law who showed us around. The flat has a wonderful terrase and is very clean. In the neighbourhood there are a lot of dogs and a rooster that woke us up every morning, but otherwise even though it is over a road, you cannot hear the cars at all. The beach is very close, scala dei turchi is 45 minutes of stroll along the beach away - very romantic, do not go by car. However, it is totally recommended to have a car if you want to go around south of Sicily. Every spot of interest is within 30 minutes drive.
