Nestled rather picturesquely on the side of a hill which slopes right into the Ionian Sea, this cosy apartment is situated in the ancient town of Riposto. While compact in size, the place benefits from a large private garden where you’ll be able to enjoy alfresco meals and soak up the sun – you’ll also have direct access to the sea. Note that you’ll be sharing the building with the guests of the upstairs apartment – this being said, we think this pad makes for a great base for a couple or a small family on a Sicilian getaway.

Home truths:
*We recommend a car to explore the area – there is free street parking here.
*At full occupancy, two of the guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a baby cot and high chair for free upon request.
*You'll have your own private garden here, but please note that it is not fenced so children will need to be supervised. The entrance to the home is shared with the building's other residents.
