We loved staying in Francesco’s beautiful home in Ortigia for a month. First, Francesco and Maria, our local contact, made us feel like family. They were warm and welcoming, and their hospitality was fantastic, such as water, coffee, and Sicilian cookies when we arrived. They were both great at communication. Second, the apartment is elegant and very comfortable (and even more spacious than in the photos). It has a great bed, plenty of storage space, powerful Wi-Fi, and beautiful artwork. And it was located in a quiet part of town, so sleeping was easy. We would absolutely love to call this home again someday. Thank you, Francesco and Maria!
