We enjoyed our stay. We did not meet Fabio, his father checked us in. We loved the outdoor patio but the heavy smoking by tenants in lower level house was very annoying. Not only on patio but we couldn't even leave our door open. The location is about a 15 minute walk to Ortigia. The highlight for us was dinner at Trattoria la Finanziera which is just two doors away. A wonderful Sicilian experience!
