Bruna’s home is a true gem - it’s nestled in a quiet courtyard a minute from Piazza del Duomo where the main sites are; it is opposite to Gusto (gelateria in Ortigia with a long queue but oh-so-worth-the-wait), round the corner from Monzù (for its granita al caffe with chocolate drizzled on top and brioche in the morning) and Artale (for an afternoon pick me up granita and almond cookies). Bruna’s home is sparkling clean with proper ventilation and a cool air-con running at all times, even during the heat waves - Amazing! Perfect shower, WiFi facilities as well as a massive walk-in wardrobe to hang your belongings as well store(or hide) ur luggages so one will not see luggages in the hallway. I don’t remember when was the last time I slept so well and woke up feeling energised and happy!
Bruna is always gracious and willingly answer any questions I might have and very promptly too!
I was a single traveller in Sicily with a one way ticket, Bruna provided me a very safe and happy space to start and plan my holiday, she took the time to shower me with recommendations/tips sharing her Bella Sicilia. Thank you for your smiles Bruna. Unsurprisingly, I can’t wait to come back and stay at your dreamy home.
P.S. A must in Ortigia - Caseificio Borderi on via De Benedictis 6 (the “Mercato Storico” market which opens daily) for a highly addictive platter of cheese and salame and don’t forget the Cannolo caramellato destrutturato as well as the panini. I bought cheese, salame and oil from Caseificio Borderi took multiple flights to London and onto HK. The products are so utterly fresh and when I opened the package in HK, everything was intact! All you have to do is to ask the very kind and honest duo, Gaetano and Nazarena to pack them for your travels! Highly recommend the mozzarella as well as the carpaccio and cannolo is an absolute must. Everything is fresh, delicious and very fair priced! If you have a villa in Ortigia, Gaetano and Nazarena can offer you Michelin-starred level catering service too.
