The Dimora di Alessandro is a clean, well proportioned flat with a good sized bedroom and living areas plus two modern bathrooms as well as a very functional and well-arrayed kitchenette. There is plenty of hot water as well as a robust internet connection.
The apartment is well appointed with a very comfortable bed, good linens and a versatile dressing area in the bedroom that will accommodated anything that one might haul about while on holiday.
The location could not be better. Although it is on the ground floor, (always a positive when traveling with heavy luggage), it is very quiet and secure, located in a small pedestrian only vicolo in the hip former Jewish Quarter, literally a short walk to everything that Ortigia has to offer.
Part of any rental experience is the hospitality of the hosts and Federico and Max were communicative, punctual and readily available to resolve any problems either by phone, text or in person. They gave us a thorough tour of the apartment and provided a detailed information package to ensure that we would get the most out of the apartment and our visit to Siracusa.
The only caveat, which might only apply to those folks like us that travel in the off-season (January), was that the apartment had been shuttered for a while when we arrived and naturally had a bit of a musty smell, which is expected in a marine environment. The weather was favorable enough that we were able to air out the flat but we never totally eliminated the smell during our four-day stay. I haven’t seen anyone else comment on this and I assume it is not an issue in-season.
All and all though we very much enjoyed our stay in The Dimora di Alessandro and would recommend it to anyone visiting the charming island of Ortigia.
