Everything was spotlessly clean in good shape & working great, fridge, washing machine, toaster, micro, stove (we didn’t use the oven) & there’s plenty of dishes/silverware etc. There’s 2 AC's that worked great. My only advice is bring along cooking essentials as there were no spices, salt/pepper, oil, & 1 roll of toilet paper. There’s a lovely view from the garden, on a clear day you can see Corsica. Part of it is covered where you can have your meals outdoors & part of it is in the sun. The garden border needs some tlc but we thoroughly enjoyed having such a large area outdoor to sit in with privacy. Yes, there’s pigs & stray cats passing by daily. The apartment was only one of a handful in Costa Paradiso that wasn't trying to nickel & dime you to death for towels/sheets/wifi/etc & we appreciated that. Beware of some of the VRBO ads that try and sneak in extra costs after the fact, something we encountered before finding this little gem. The apartment is within 25’ of a little market & a really good pizza restaurant. There’s a fish restaurant there too but they didn’t seem interested in being open for meals. There’s also a larger market with better prices & a larger assortment in the main center of costa paradiso, & a gelato store with gelato to die for. The place is a terrific location to stay to explore the N area of Sicily, The only negative was a mildew smell in the bathroom, though there was no sign of that, it was sparkling clean. We'd be happy to rent this again.
