The kitchen that disappears
It's the first thing you notice, and only when it's open: the kitchen sits inside a recess closed by folding doors that slide away. Open, everything is there — oven, hob, fridge, sink, shelves with plates, glasses, pans and the coffee machine. Closed, the wall goes flat again and the room stops looking like a kitchen. For a week's stay that's the difference between a studio and a home.
The floor, and why it isn't a rug
The floor is taupe resin, continuous and without joints, and set flush into it are panels of Sicilian majolica: one under the bed, one under the sofa. They look like rugs and aren't — they don't shift, they don't roll up, and they are the only decorative element in an otherwise white flat. It's a nod to the cement tiles of the old buildings on the corso, redone in a new apartment.
How you sleep, and how many
The double bed has a spindled walnut headboard and sits in the area screened by the wardrobe wall. In the living room the sofa bed opens for two more: four people, sharing one bathroom. There's air conditioning, a television and a rocking chair that somebody always ends up in.
The bathroom
Modern and dry: a walk-in shower lined in marble behind fixed glass, wall-mounted matt black taps, a vessel basin on an open oak vanity with the towels in view, bidet and wall-hung fittings. A full-width mirror in a wooden frame.
Where it is
On the same floor as B&B del Corso, on Via Francesco Crispi, on the corso: the sea two minutes on foot, the station one. The 140 m² rooftop upstairs is open to guests here too. The terrace → · Casa del Corso, both holiday homes →

FAQ about The Arancio apartment
Does the Arancio apartment have a kitchen?
Yes, fully equipped: oven, hob, fridge, sink, crockery and a coffee machine. It sits inside a recess closed by folding doors, so when you don't need it the wall goes flat again. There is a washing machine too. That's the main difference from the B&B rooms, where the kitchen is shared.
How many people sleep in the Arancio apartment?
Up to four: a double bed in the sleeping area and a sofa bed in the living room, with one bathroom. For four people who want two real rooms and breakfast included, the alternative is the B&B's Green Room, the quad.
What is the minimum stay?
Two nights. For a week or a month the rate is agreed on length and season: the longer you stay, the less the night costs. Bed linen and towels are included, extra changes are charged separately, and we are afraid we cannot accept pets.
Is breakfast included in the apartments?
Not in the rate, but it can be delivered: you choose from a café menu in town — granita and brioche col tuppo, pastries, savoury toasts, fresh juices, coffee — delivery is free and you pay only for what you order, ordering by 9 pm the evening before. Otherwise the kitchen is fully equipped and it is yours. Breakfast included in the price applies to the B&B del Corso rooms, on the same floor. For longer stays, write to us on WhatsApp.
Booking here
What changes if you book directly.
This isn't a polite formula. Book here and you're talking to the people who will welcome you — and we can decide things without asking anyone's permission.
- The best rate we can do
- With no intermediation the margin stays in the house, and we can use it for you. If you've seen better elsewhere, write to us before booking: we almost always find a way.
- You talk to us
- No call centre: we answer on WhatsApp ourselves, before, during and after. Real opening times, real advice, and where the parking actually is.
- Priority on services
- The boat and the e-bikes have limited places: guests who book directly choose their dates first.
- Flexibility
- A late arrival, a later check-out, an extra cot: if we can, we will. You just ask us, directly.
- The third night
- Two days cover the town, but leave out the Nebrodi — the half nobody expects. If you're staying an extra night, ask us when you book: we do a different price for guests who book here.
The reason is simple: when you book here there is nobody in between. What we save on intermediation comes back to you as rate and as freedom to move — a late arrival, an extra night, a last-minute request.
