Staying at Circo Fortuna is a dream! Everything you'd expect when you see the photos and then something else, something that Caroline is uniquely gifted in creating, as the true artist she is.
Our stay with her was truly a feast for ALL the senses. At first, you're struck by her amazing attention to visual composition. You've seen it in the photos, then you see it all around you and it's even better.
Then, as you inhabit this special oasis she's created, you come too see how her passion for beauty in every small detail really infuses the place with character.
Everyday you're there you will discover another wonderful tiny thing she created out of thin air, something so small you'd never notice it, until you do and you realize that's what ties everything together.
Oh, and she does the same thing with her awesome breakfasts - it's not just food, it's the whole thing. First it's that amazing terrace, then it's the way onion jam works with the traditional Italian cheese you're tasting for the first time while looking at the sea through her kitchen window, I mean, come on, sensory overload in the best possible way! :)
And I'm really not overdoing it.
And yeah, it helps that the sea is right outside her door (what a view in the mornings!) and the island of Ortigia is a vision to begin with :)
We visited in early October and it was one of the best summer holidays we ever had. Would gladly stay with Caroline again :)
