The loft was beautiful (clean and a very curated aesthetic) and in a perfect location with nice views from the juliet balcony. Maria Teresa was an amazing host from the moment we booked thru our arrival and stay….she is essentially a virtual tour guide and her knowledge of Syracusa/Ortigia and dedication to providing an enjoyable visit for her guests is impressive. She was very informative: providing a detailed overview of parking options, sharing her picks for food, drinks, not-to-be-missed areas and current shows/exhibits. We appreciated the welcome cookies and well stocked coffee bar as well as the updated bathrooms with great amenities/showers. Would highly recommend and certainly stay here again.
