Casa Aretusa is in a great location right by the water while giving you the real life experience of Ortigia. The service was good, very prompt and easy to communicate with. They even helped us with some laundry. The house itself is gorgeous inside with great finishes. The bathrooms however need a lot of work.
Unfortunately despite the beautiful house there were baby cockroaches which we came across on our first day. When we let them know there were cockroaches they did come and do a full disinfection of the kitchen. Even after the cleaning we found a couple more. Not the best experience!
In addition to this the parking situation is painful. Ortigia is extremely busy and it’s hard to find parking. We had to park on the other side of Ortigia which wasn’t ideal. They really should look to purchase some parking spots to make for an easier experience for their guests.
Although we did love the location we would not stay here again due to the cockroaches.
