We had a wonderful stay at Emanuela and Peppe’s place. It is in a great location within the historic and beautiful Ortigia with everything you want within walking distance. Self check-in was very easy. It is very tastefully furnished and well equipped. It’s even better than the photos with huge high ceilings and stunning views. We had our 10 month old baby with us and they were able to provide a high chair and cot. Communication was excellent with very fast response times and lots of really great recommendations. They even made lunch reservations for us, as well as arranging parking very close by. Things were still fairly quiet so noise didn’t bother us - there was some loud live music outside the bar across the piazza from us on our last night but it didn’t go on too long and we found it nice to sit on the balcony and soak it all in. Quite early in our stay we had an accident where our daughter pulled over a small table and the glass tabletop smashed. Emanuela and Peppe were very understanding and more concerned about our daughter’s welfare than the table. They sent somebody to fix it within a couple of days. The apartment is on the second floor so you need to be comfortable with climbing stairs in the heat but you are rewarded with the incredible views and the very effective air conditioning means you can soon cool down! If we return to Ortigia we would stay here again without hesitation. Thanks to Emanuela and Peppe for being such great hosts.
