Alessandra's welcome couldn't have been more pleasing; she was very accommodating when we were running late, and when we met her and her husband Renato, they were super friendly. They sat us down and gave us all the information about the local area we could ask for. We ate some of the best food we had in Sicily on their recommendation! We felt so looked after that when we couldn't find a driver and guide for a particular day trip we asked Alessandra for help. She went above and beyond and found us a great guy and at a really good price!
The apartment itself was lovely; it has modern touches and personality such as a mezzanine floor, but also lots of character and original features of the historic building it is in. The building also has a communal terrace where you can sit and a lift too (very handy!).
The apartment had everything we needed and we really appreciated the little extras such as information leaflets, extra pillows and plenty of towels. Alessandra and Renato also very kindly included some lemons, tea, coffee and some of Renato's home made Lemoncello, which was really nice!
It was very easy to find and walk to, from the bus station, and is also in a great location to be able to reach the historic area of Ortigia easily - just a few minutes walk.
