Travelled to Rodia for a beach holiday and was not at all disappointed. Firstly, Mary Is a very hospitable host. She replied to every query leading up to our stay professionally and quickly. We were vacationing with friends, so 2 families of four, and this apartment proved to be the best solution for us all. We rented both apartments and with the unlocking of a central door found ourselves in one huge residence with all the comforts we needed. We've travelled throughout Italy many times in the past and have found the showers, air conditioning, wi-fi and amenities here to be the best by far. The apartment was very clean upon arrival and every detail tended to. The terrace is a dream, and most inspiring is the mosaic artwork throughout the home. The beach is very nice, with the Sahara beach stabilimento directly in front of the residence. The town is quite small so a car is necessary to head out for sightseeing, though a small grocer, fruit store, meat store and a couple of bars are easily reachable within walking distance. The restaurant la Scala, at the entry of the residence, is quite good and the wait staff try very hard to please. Taormina, milazzo, and other charming coastal towns are easily within reach. The pool is nice though deep for little ones, and the hours are limited. But who cares when you have the warm clean waters of the north coast of Sicily across the street. I highly recommend this place and would certainly come again.
