Lovely Property
This is a very nice home. Antonio was available and very prompt to return text messages. He and his family went out of their way to help us in any way they could. We were very disappointed to be unable to stay but as the large kitchen window could not be locked other arrangements had to be made. I’m sure this will be fixed and would happily stay there in the future.

Lovely place right on the edge of Sicily.
Warmly recommended. The house is in a quiet street close to the beaches, tennis courts, cafes and shops, very spacious, well equipped, AC in all rooms and kitchen (four of these altogether), IKEA furniture (in good condition), all as in photos. The kitchen (when we arrived) had bottled water, coffee, tea, oils etc, all bathroom supplies, so we also left a lot of our unused stuff there. The enclosed garden/terrace is very nice, with a high degree of privacy (partly exposed to the neighbouring building, but rarely someone is there). Special treat is the open air shower hidden by the shed (I only used that one). If I try hard to recall something which was not ideal, then I'd say that occasionally we could hear some domestic animals around, but that was all good fun. Torre Faro is a lovely village, bit basic (this is not Tuscany) but very charming. The beaches and the sea are perfectly clean (water may move veeeery fast, watch out if you have children). We were there for two weeks in September, out of main season, hence very few tourists around at that time, must be busier in August. Restaurants are all with brilliant food and very sensible prices, 99% attended by locals. We arrived very late (after 1 am), the property manager waited for us and was pleasant and helpful. She speaks zero English, but we managed to communicate key things. You will not make a mistake if you stay in this property. I can't judge value for money because I did not stay in other places in NE Sicily, but if I visit it again, I will look for this house. Pistachio ice-cream on the square by the church not to be missed. Best granita combinations are coffee/cream and pistachio/strawberry. Messina is half an hour by bus, the University (where I was going every day) is 10min away. Etna is two hours by car, if you can't make that, then at least go to Vulcano island by the speedboat, interesting stuff these vulcanos. Sicily is also a cyclists' paradise (can be bit dangerous, but fantastic scenery).

Confortevole, moderna e strategica.
La casa è esattamente come nelle foto, spaziosa e moderna, dotata di tutti gli elettrodomestici del caso, nonché di impianto di climatizzazione i tutte le stanze da letto, nella soggiorno e nella cucina; il giardino esterno è ampio e confortevole e consente di mangiare comodamente fuori anche in 8 persone. La posizione è strategica, poiché la via non è molto trafficata, ma in 10 minuti a piedi sia arriva comodamente alla spiaggia di Capo Peloro. Il proprietario si è dimostrato cortese, efficiente e disponibile alla risoluzione di un piccolo problema alla lavastoviglie avuto durante il soggiorno. Eccellente.

Sono veramente felice di scrivere una recensione sul l'appartamento della Signora Ana Forastier ( la proprietaria). L'appartamento è perfetto, credetemi non sto esagerando, grande abbastanza per 6/7 persone. La pulizia come il rapporto qualità prezzo è importante per me e in questo caso va segnalato come eccellente. Il bagno è bellissimo , con doppi lavandini, una doccia con box a vetri molto grande. Ci sono asciugamani in enorme quantità. lo stesso vale per la cucina, grande e super accessoriata. Ci sono 2 televisori HD uno in cucina , l'altro in una delle due camere da letto. Fuori dalla cucina c'è un piccolo giardino con un grande tavolo, fornito di un barbecue praticamente nuovo. le foto rendono perfettamente la realtà. E' vicino al mare (stupendo) non proprio 50 mt. ma meno di 5 minuti a piedi. Eccezionale l'idea di avere anche una doccia con acqua calda nel giardino. Non manca nulla, portatevi solo gli oggetti personali per trascorrere una bella vacanza.
