We have just returned from staying at Elisa’s apartment for ten days. The flat itself is small but spacious and well designed if a little dark due to being on the ground floor. This would be a godsend in the hot summer but we were there in October so a bit more sun inside would have been nice. The shared yard is sweet and has basil plants which you can use and furniture. There is a locked gate and the whole place feels very secure. There were two bikes that we could have used but didn’t get round to it as we spent most of our time driving down to the beautiful beaches to the south. There was quite often parking right outside, and if not, on the next road. The apartment is close to Ortigia where we spent a lot of time, good restaurants and ice cream etc. The local rocky beach was handy to have our first swim and there is excellent snorkelling typical of Italy. Elisa herself was incredibly helpful and always at the end of the phone. The flat was very clean and there were cleaning supplies and basic cooking implements. There is AC and a dehumidifier which helped as it was a bit damp, according to my lungs! In all a pleasant stay in an apartment that felt like a second home by the end of our holiday and thoroughly recommended.
