We stayed with Caroline for two nights and we can't praise her accommodation highly enough. It is in a delightful house with beautiful, quirky decoration. Caroline is an artist and it shows. She is also a wonderful host and her breakfasts were memorable events in a wonderful fifteen day holiday on Sicily - delicious fresh food prepared each morning by Caroline and served on her terrace surrounded by exotic plants. The house itself is in a quiet residential part of Ortigia - next to the sea but within easy reach of the duomo and tourist centre.
Caroline also gave us great restaurant recommendations and helpful advice for our stay in Ortigia. We wouldn't have swapped our stay with Caroline for the best hotel in town.
A few practical points:
1. If travelling by car you need to park in a public car park on the lungomare about 8-10 mins walk away. Cost for us was 10 euros per day.
2. The bathroom is not ensuite but right next to the bedroom and was for our exclusive use.
3. There is a fridge in the room.
4. There was no TV which pleased us greatly as we dislike TVs on holiday.
