This place was value for the area. Limited cooking facilities but has a microwave. Has a washing machine. We were there in Winter and a little cold in the kitchen area despite heating in the living room and bedroom but Andrea was helpful in supplying extra heating and gave a quick response. The spiral stairs would not suit unfit older and/or people with limited physical ability. The accommodation is on the ground level and with the shutters closed was dark but innovative lighting created ambience. Fresh and ample linen. Very quiet area. It is within walking distance to the train station if travelling light and there is a small (one carriage) train to take day trips to Noto and other places. Ortigia, the older area, is a tourist destination with upmarket restaurants and shops on the island. I imagine that summer would be crowded in Ortigia and Andrea’s place would provide a cool and quiet haven away from the crowds.
