My husband and I had the absolute joy of staying at Maria Teresa’s beautiful Ortigia apartment in early August 2019 for our honeymoon.
The apartment is beautifully appointed with all the homely things (shampoo, hair dryer ect.) you could ask for. There is beautiful main bedroom with a walk in robe and aircon and a second bedroom also with aircon which would be great if you were visiting as a family. There is a large and functional living and dining area with a small terrace and a bathroom with an excellent shower!
The apartment is wonderfully located in the heart of Ortigia. Everything you could want is at most a five minute walk away.
However by far the best part of our stay was our host. The wonderful Maria Teresa. She is so warm and welcoming. Throw away your guide book and just listen to her suggestions of where to go to eat, drink and visit in her beautiful city. She was always on hand with a great suggestion for aperitivo or dinner. Our guidebook said we couldn’t swim on the island but she showed us the local spots. She made it a delight to visit Ortigia and we could thank her more for making our honeymoon so special!
