I cannot recommend this place enough! It has become for me a home away from home. I have stayed many times and have already planned my next trip !! First off Ortigia is a DREAM, and the location of Pablo's place is PERFECT. It is right in the heart of everything, within walking distance from all the wonderful attractions of this fabled city. The view is sublime, you wake up to the glorious hues of the azure blue sea, the peach and orangeade colored rooftops, swallows doing figure 8's in the sky above and just absolute PEACE of mind and heart. The room has everything you need, most importantly a super comfy bed! And breakfast with Marisa is always my highlight! She epitomizes Sicilian hospitality and has a heart bigger than all of Sicily itself! Everything she provides is full of love and flavor!
Check in was seamless, and as always I appreciate Marisa reaching out to me before my arrival. It's just so nice to feel like someone is waiting for you!! She also has wonderful suggestions for dinner and activities!
If i could make one suggestion it would be to give yourself more time in Ortigia than you anticipate. It truly is magical. Walk the narrow alleyways, frolic at the beach, take a boat tour around the island (oh my gosh that was so lovely!) go see the Ear of Dionysius and the Amphitheater, see the momunents and churches, have some granita and don't forget to say HI to Saint Lucy. :)
