This elegant and comfortable home has meticulous attention to detail and has just been refinished. Spacious — particularly since only my wife and I stayed here, it could easily accommodate a family. The upstairs terrace is private , secure and serene, and the upstairs bedroom has a wooden floor that we used for yoga stretches in the mornings. Each room has hangers, towels , great pillows, and lovely window/doors that open on to a balcony . Full kitchen, washing machine and more. The bed in the master bedroom is quite comfortable and the neighborhood —though it is central to everything is quiet and restful. We were able to see the sights, , we each wrote a paper and read a few books. It is a block to the ocean and the ocean walk that connects to every major street in town. About eight minutes walking to the spectacular main square housing the cathedral that started out as a temple to Athena. Three blocks away is Osteria Mariano which has some of the best food in Sicily. The people of Ortigia are welcoming, helpful and friendly and our hostess and her friend,
Bianca and Alberto are fabulous— met us when we arrived in a POURING rainstorm at night and made sure we had everything. THANK YOU !!!! Actually …. We don’t really want to leave…
