My wife and I spent a month in this apartment, and it was all great. Fausta and Elio are lovely and attentive hosts. The apartment is updated, super well maintained, bright, and it gets an amazing breeze making the Sicilian summer cooler and relaxed (but the ACs are a blessing too). Location is 10 out of 10, close to charming cafes, delicious restaurants, and the seaside (although, in all fairness, Ortigia is a small island, so you’re never far from the water) and two steps away from the Duomo. But really, Fausta and Elio were always very responsive, friendly, and helpful. They gave us valuable tips on where to go, where to eat, and what to see, besides having a charming publishing house and including their cute creations all over the place (which makes the decor so unique and special without being overwhelming). We have nothing bad to say, the staying here was a dream, and we would highly recommend it.
