Positive: A clean, comfortable and pleasantly designed apartment, with a glorious roof terrace commanding a view of the main Corso Giuseppe Garibaldi and glimpses of the surrounding hills and the Strait of Messina. The terrace gets cooling breezes when the air is hot and still in the streets below. The apartment is sensibly furnished and equipped, ideal for a couple on holiday. The location is perfect, at the very centre of the Corso, half way between the Central station and the Lido station, roughly half way between the Museum and the Duomo, almost next door to the Theatre and Civic Art Gallery, surrounded by restaurants for every budget, and a block away from the Lungomare, the famous seaside boulevard, one of the top spots in Calabria. If you like self catering, as I do, there is an enormous choice of fruit and vegetable shops, butchers, fishmongers, bakers and supermarkets of all sizes within a five minute walk in the blocks to the east. But I have to admit you can eat really well and inexpensively here, once you have found the eateries of your choice. The Lido proper is 15 minutes walk, but there are waterside clubs all along the Lungomare. From either of the stations there are cheap and frequent rail connections to the surrounding attractions. This was the perfect find.. Negative: It is really hard to find fault with this apartment: okay, there isn’t a washing machine and I had to be sensitive with one of the shutters..
