The location is wonderful, right off the main square. The house is well equipped and has a relaxed feel. It was clean and we were welcomed nicely by the manager.
We had a couple of minor issues, one was no hot water on two of the three levels of the house but apparently that’s quite common on the island. The kids bathroom on the top floor had luke warm water so we showered there.
The wifi didn’t work for the first 24 hours but the manager arranged to get that fixed, which we really appreciated.
It is about 1km to the Talete parking lot so that’s quite a long, hot walk in August with children and luggage - be sure to just have hand luggage preferably on wheels.
Beautiful Ortigia is our favourite place in Sicily. Wonderful restaurants and fascinating history. The food market was a real treat, don’t miss it.
