We loved Ortigia, the room was wonderful (what a great view of the sunrise over the sea!) and, Pablo's mother looked after us very well- she is so sweet.
We had excellent directions from Pablo, the apartment is excellently located in the centre of beautiful, historic Ortigia. Pablo's mother was very kind and obliging- she made us a delicious and generous breakfast and chatted to us and we got the impression she liked having us around- we really enjoyed chatting to her. She sliced up a melon for us and put in a Tupperware when we left for our journey- so nice of her! She also gave us excellent restaurant and panini recommendations. The room was large, clean, well decorated with a balcony with wonderful views. Also aircon, It was a pleasure to stay. We can't recommend this place enough. Also excellent value. Thank you so much Marisa and Pablo!
