We were disappointed with the accommodation . The layout , location and accommodation itself are great . The property is in a small side alley and very quiet.
However the neighbours are very noisy . Loud music early Saturday morning /Sunday morning and the evenings ,neighbours sitting directly outside the windows to the kitchen / living space smoking , shouting , listening the music . This made it impossible to settle out 6 month old baby and made us v on edge , not something you want on holiday .
There’s also a lot of “footfall” noise from upstairs , again that interrupts sleep / relaxation
We tried to communicate this via messages to welcome Italy , but they weren’t responded to , and I escalated it to Airbnb for help , I’ve heard nothing from them either . Added to that the property is damp and difficult to ventilate due to the noise (can’t open the windows) and even with them shut can hear the neighbours anyway .
A shame really as we love Ortigia and have stayed at other properties without problems . Sadly this was not the case with this one . Admittedly it’s fairly reasonable price wise , so if you don’t mind terrible loud music and loud neighbours hanging out then it’s fine .
Avoid if you want a stress free and quiet relaxing time .
