Blue Marine Apartments

On Sicily’s southeastern coast in Ispica, a family-friendly apartment complex just a 1-minute drive from Santa Maria di Focallo Beach and 7 minutes from Marza. Close to Cabrera Tower, Buonivini Winery, Castello Maniace, Fonte Aretusa and the Museo Regionale di Arte Medioevale e Moderna — great for short excursions.

Just four individually decorated apartments with full kitchens, private balconies and 32-inch flat-screen TVs. Expect simple comforts like microwaves, coffee/tea makers and housekeeping once per stay — and wake up to sea-breeze mornings on your balcony.

Private beach access, an outdoor pool and a 24-hour health club keep the days active and chill. Onsite concierge, complimentary babysitting/childcare, a beach shuttle, poolside and beach bars, 2 restaurants and 2 cafés round out the offerings; free self-parking and 24-hour front desk included.

High-speed wireless internet is available for a surcharge, plus a tour assistance desk and concierge to help plan transfers or excursions.

Two restaurants and two coffee shops serve breakfast and light bites, with buffet breakfasts available for a fee. Sip espresso by day and cocktails by the pool or beach bar at sunset.
