We love our stay at Appoline. The place is very close to the beach and you feel like having your own private beach. There is another little beach further on where the closest beach is but you can get there on foot for 5-10 mins. We love the garden, the roof top specially the outdoor kitchen and the BBQ area. It is big enough for the children to explore. The pool was too cold for children to get in towards the end of October. . It would be nice if it is a heated pool. The hosts Mariana and Francesco were very kind and attentive to our needs. We forgot to buy certain essentials on a Sunday after the shops were close and couldn t get them elsewhere. Marina very kindly brought them to Appoline when I desperately needed them life saver! We asked for photographer recommendation as we were keen to have some family photos taken on holiday. Milo the photographer recommended by Mariana and Francesco was amazing! Highly recommended if you need some wedding or family photos taken. Francesco recommended some good wine for us to try which we really appreciated. The welcome pack full of essentials like milk and pasta on our arrival was always appreciated after a long journey. There were sufficient stocks for washing up liquids, dishwasher tablets. It is not like some of the places that we stayed that virtually you have to buy everything like salt and sugar. The area is remoted than I thought. It is very rural and very quiet. In comparison I probably prefer Cefalu. But it is different and worth exploring. Appoline is close to various towns around. We went to Noto, Mordica, and Ispica. We particularly enjoyed Noto and Mordica.

This is our second booking with SoloSicilly and we love their service. They are always very responsive on emails and texts and tried to offer help and advice as much as they can. I wish they don t just offer service in Sicily. They are very pleasant to deal with from enquiry to booking to giving feedback. Thanks again and I wish you could you find more nicer properties for us holiday makers.
