My daughter and I stayed at Alessio’s Bortega Suite in Siracusa for the month of September. The suite, which has been recently fully refurbished, was delightful and very comfortable. The beds are comfortable, the furnishings and well equipped kitchen are contemporary and clean and more than met our needs (think Ikea). Alessio was a wonderful host. He met us upon arrival and was always available via WhatsApp to answer any questions or assist us with recommendations or guidance.
We especially enjoyed the neighborhood surrounding the suite, including the local caffè one block away, the bakery with fresh bread and pastry every morning, and the green grocers and fish market just a few short blocks away. We appreciated being away from the noise and bustle of Ortigia, but welcomed being able to walk to the Ortigia restaurants and shops in about 20 minutes.
We highly recommend this wonderful apartment and thank Alessio for being such an accommodating host.
