Staying in Antonella's apartment is like staying in a palace that is featured in Architectural Digest magazine. Antonella is an interior designer and appointed the apartment with modern decor that is mixed with old world charm. Our favorite area to relax was on the open air balcony overlooking the courtyard. The beds were extremely comfortable, kitchen stocked with all the necessities, and the bathroom even had a washer in it. Antonella made sure we had a wonderful stay in Ortigia by walking us around the neighborhood, providing maps of the city, and even calling to make us dinner reservations at a terrific restaurant. Can't recommend this apartment and host enough, we look forward to returning in the future!
