Patrizia's apartment looks great on the site and it exceeds expectations! We stayed as a family of 6 grown-ups between Christmas and New Year's and everything was perfect! Patrizia's family greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed. I was worried about heat as it was Christmas and it was perfectly warm in the evening. The kitchen is gourmet equipped and we had a wonderful time cooking after a mouthwatering trip to the market! We loved Ortigia and all of its history and charm and after long days of exploring and walking we loved returning home and spreading out in the spacious living room to watch TV (we hooked a computer up to the television to watch films) and play games and share our love of Ortigia. Great neighborhood with too many cafe's to choose from and within walking distance of all the highlights. We loved getting a coffee to go and meeting up on the rooftop for a sunny morning with pastries, too! Patrizia's family history is very interesting and on display in the apartment...I will let you discover it! Again, GRAZIE and Auguri to Patrizia and her family!
