Simona and Silverio are great hosts. We didn't meet Simona, unfortunately, but her communication was very prompt and thoughtful, even messaging after a week to make sure everything was okay and wondering if there was anything we needed. Silverio was lovely, and genuinely wanted to make sure I was comfortable. The day after a bad storm he kindly messaged to make sure I was okay. Silverio came to sort out the gas for the hob very promptly. They couldn't have been better, even leaving a beautifully moist cake and a bottle of wine. How welcoming. The flat is very light and stylish. It's location is perfect, being in the bustling Borgata area. We used the local shops for our groceries. The locals were very friendly and their produce delicious. Ortigia is a 15-minute walk away, perfect to explore the sights and beauty as well as enjoy the great restaurants and bars. I would highly recommend Simona and Silverio's flat.
