This apartment is just a few steps away from the sandy San Lorenzo beach near Marzamemi town The highlights of Eastern Sicily – Noto, Modica and Syracuse – are all an easy drive away. The decor in the open living, kitchen and dining room is simple and functional because days here were meant to be spent outside in the Sicilian sun. Soak up the rays on a lounger on deck, sip chilled Grillo on the shaded terrace and embrace the island’s rustic cooking style at the wood-fired barbecue.

Home truths:
*At capacity, one guest will be on a single sofa bed in the living room.
*This home is entirely on the ground floor, so may be suitable for those with limited mobility.
*Bath towels, beach towels and bed linen are changed weekly during your stay.
*We think some areas of this home could do with a refresh. In particular, the main bathroom is a little dated.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.
*There is a beach and deli shop within walking distance, but you'll need a car to reach the nearest supermarket 3km away. There is private parking.
