Giuseppe's place was one of our favourite stays during our 17 day vacation in Sicily. We are very happy that we chose this lovely apartment on the beautiful island of Ortigia. The apartment is spotless and in a great, central location, behind an iron gate in a private courtyard. I loved having my breakfast outside the front door in the peaceful courtyard. Giuseppe provided numerous staples and supplies such as coffee, tea, milk, wine, juice, cookies, fruit, etc, as well as an Italian and a North American coffee maker. The washing machine worked well, the plastic scrub board came in handy and our clothes dried in no time on the rack on the bedroom balcony. I slept on the comfortable sofa bed downstairs but I would suggest that light sleepers take the spacious bedroom in the loft as you will hear the iron gate slam everytime someone comes and goes. My friend appreciated the a/c in the upstairs (loft) bedroom.
The apartment is only a 2 minute walk to the sea and a few more minutes to the beach access. The WiFi signal was strong. Giuseppe was a great host and told us if we needed anything at all to call him or his wife Elisa (who speaks fluent English). Giuseppe drove us to the bus station on the morning of our departure and this was very kind and greatly appreciated .
We highly recommend Giuseppe's place and are singing its praises to all of our friends back home in Canada!
