If you want an awesome experience. in the heart of a truly stunning and historic town, do not hesitate in booking this property!!!!! Do it now!
Right from initial communications Francesca was approachable and responsive.
I am a single female traveller and it is important for me to have someone who takes a bit of an interest in my welfare…. Francesca is so kind and thoughtful. She offered to pick me up from the bus station when I first arrived. Although it is an easy 25 min walk to the property.
The fridge was stocked with some treats and she had bought some delicious pastries thinking I might be hungry.
The property is perfectly located in Ortigia. Infact it doesn’t get any better. The beach is a 2 minute walk. Calla Rossa beach itself is nothing to look at but the water is AMAZING and clean… definitely get there early as after about midday a shadow will be cast.
Francesca has thought of everything for a day at the beach - towels/ umbrella/ sunscreen.
The apartment has everything you need. I didn’t cook but all the utensils/ stove/ coffee maker are there if you need them. The restaurants are really too good to stay at home cooking on holiday.
The bed is super comfortable and linen high quality.
Air con is a god send although the position of the apartment means you can get a nice breeze through with the door open and setting up the little portable chair and table in the lane is a fantastic option for enjoying a quiet bit of people watching.
The lane is not a high traffic area and really quiet at night.
The area is super safe- including the beach. Left all my stuff unattended everyday when I went for a swim and never worried about it.
The layout of the apartment was very efficient for a small space, but the configuration of stairs will not be user friendly for those with mobility issues.
Great shower pressure, all the toiletries you might need and a decent hairdryer- bliss!
I can not give higher praise for this option of accomodation. If you are after a vanilla hotel room experience this is not for you. If you want unforgettable location, amazing host and incredible value for money look no further. It is AWESOME!!
