Beautiful seaside property, house need some updates
We were in Sicily for a short weekend stay and we used our time to relax at the house and to swim in the Mediterranean.
The seaside views are stunning and the walking access to the sea is accurately listed. The waves can be aggressive and we did get knocked around a bit the first day getting in and out of the water, resulting in some hand, knee, and leg scrapes. We wore sandals and shorts which helped with getting in/out of the water. The second day the water was much calmer so we swam on and off all day (bring goggles so you can see the small fish) and it was delightful. The rock area going down to the water is publicly shared so expect some locals to come down the local access pathway from the road to swim and sunbathe in the same area. Everyone was nice and kept to themselves, so it was no problem but good to know up front. About 10 people came throughout the day. It feels mostly private and that was nice.
The house is clean and had most of the listed amenities. It does need some updating, so remember that you’re paying for the seaside access and not cozy furniture or luxury bathrooms. A trip to IKEA for a new couch, two bathroom remodels, mattress toppers, and appropriate bedding/linens and it would increase the guest experience. We did not have pillow covers for all pillows, or 1 bath and 1 beach towels for each guest so please confirm these items upon check. That was a snafu to fix but we got them the second day. John is a bit of a character but mostly professional.
