With just a few days to enjoy Sicily, Michele and Lucia's funky apartment was perfect for us. First of all, Lucia was a phenomenal hostess even before we arrived. Her help choosing local restaurants and figuring out the complex parking situation in Ortigia was priceless. She went as far as saving a free parking spot for us on our arrival (quite late at night) where we happily kept our car until we left the island. She was so good humored and patient with our many enquiries throughout our stay and made sure we were well settled before she left us. The apartment was perfect for us - quirky, fun, homey, comfortable and surprisingly peaceful despite its very central location with picture postcard views from virtually every window. We were hoping to use the well-stocked kitchen to do a bit of cooking from the fresh ingredients from the market, but didn't have time for it. The rooftop balcony with its magnificent views would no doubt be the best dining location in Ortigia. Although brief, our stay in Ortigia was made far more memorable and special by Lucia and her lovely apartment. Looking forward to a return visit.
