Consiglierei con piacere questo appartamento ai miei parenti o amici.

We stayed a week in March, and this apartment suited our family of six for that time.

The apartment is really a 2-bedroom with beds put into the living room to make it a third bedroom. As such, there is no living room. The only places designed for people to sit are the kitchen and balconies. There is a sofa-bed in the kitchen, but there is just barely enough space to open it and it is unsuitable for sleeping, so everyone really needs to fit into the 7 single beds -- six of them being strapped together to appear as a queen-sized bed but with a crack in the middle.

Balcony furniture is plastic. The kitchen is nice, but lacks shelves and counter space. If you eat out, no problem. If you want to cook there, it's a bit difficult.

There are two bathrooms, which is great for a lot of people, although one had a poor and tiny shower so we just used the larger shower that worked better. The water is solar heated so you need to wait until 11am or so to take a warm shower. The laundry machine looks new, a very nice unit. We rented three houses during our time in Sicilia and this had the best laundry machine.

The one negative was that I had to spend ~40 euros the first day on hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap, garbage bags, toilet paper, etc. as these essentials were not provided as they were in another house we rented. Some rentals are like hotels that give you everything you need, but this one is not quite so. Fortunately, there are three big grocery stores (5 minutes by car, 20 minutes walking) that are open 8am-9pm every day so it is easy to get what you need.

The landlord was a very kind family man who lives downstairs. Any problems he quickly took care of while we were out (with permission) and he answered all our questions. He spoke some English, which was helpful. You should speak some Italian to really enjoy Sicilia (and Italia in general).

Plenty of restaurants and gelaterias are in walking distance, as well as a couple of parks for small children. There are two panini wagons on the way towards the town centre that make great sandwiches until midnight. The beach is very close, but in March it was a bit cold even for Canadians (but we went swimming anyway).

People in this part of Sicilia are so friendly. We had no idea how much we would enjoy our time there. We highly recommend this area as well as this apartment for a very enjoyable holiday.
