Francesca is a very organised, generous and friendly host, picking us from the train station, providing many valuable suggestions, and providing lots of items for cooking in the apartment and even a choice of coffee. The accommodation was very comfortable, and so quiet and local that one evening we even cooked dinner and ate outside in the alleyway with soft street lighting using fold-up chairs and table. The various sets of stairs inside the house were no problem for us but may bother some. The location was superb - it is nestled between streets that track the perimeter of the coast, only 100m or so from one of the beaches, and perfectly placed for restaurants, markets, castles, the main archaeological sites and the train station. Our favourite restaurants were Agora La Cantina for lunch near the archaeological museum, and Taverna Guidecca towards the fish market for dinner, both inexpensive and low key, with a genuine homemade touch to the food and service, and Taverna Guidecca even serves a vegetarian 'degustation' platter for two. A slightly more upscale vegan restaurant that truly was superb was Francesca's suggestion of Moon (the name is a very interesting acronym). Also bases Francesca's suggestion, we enjoyed evening cocktails at nearby SunSet quite literally watching the sun set, but be wary the drinks are inexpensive, tasty and strong, so too easy to forget whatever other plans you had for the evening.
