We had an extraordinary stay in Ortigia, thanks in no small part to the wonderful Pierpaolo. Though we have had lovely hosts everywhere we've stayed, Pierpaolo really went above and beyond and did everything in his power to make our stay both comfortable and memorable. From picking us up in Taormina and delivering us to the door of his cosy, central apartment to taking us out for Sicilian beers and showing us the best Siracusa had to offer, Pierpaolo was not just our host - he was our friend in a foreign city. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have met such a warm, welcoming person on our travels. As for the apartment, you couldn't ask for a better location - close to everything and yet quiet enough to ensure you a good night's sleep. Beautifully designed by Pierpaolo himself, the space was comfortable, light and well equipped. In short, don't look anywhere else. If you're staying in Ortigia, you must stay with Pierpaolo!
