We had the BEST stay with Lidia. Ortigia was a fantastic location. We wish we could spend a month there! It was authentic beautiful Sicily with no touristy glitter, no beggars and none of the tourist rip-offs that are so common elsewhere. Lidia was a super friendly and helpful host. She made us feel at home and we didn't want to leave. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The train station is a comfortable 15 to 20 minute walk, so save the cab fare to spend on more gelato. Yum!
We have no hesitation in recommending Lidia's place.
