The highlight of the stay in Pablo's home is his caring mother Marisa. Marisa would make you feel like home when you stay at her home. She prepared her homemade mandorla (almond) cookie and coffee as breakfast for us every morning. She always carried her big smile on her face and cared about if everything is ok. We were more than happy to talk to her everyday even she only knows very little English. If you are interested, she is happy to share with you everything about Siracusa, such as sightseeing points, landscape, community, etc. On the day of check out, she packed some her homemade cookies for us and let us leave our luggages at her home until we left Siracusa. She even want to pack some water for us. We are spoiled by her hospitality during the stay.
The location of Pablo's home is very central in the heart of Ortiga. It's very convenient to access anywhere by foot in Ortiga. Some of sightseeing spots are only 5 minutes walking distance. The building has elevator which is good for us who carried big luggages. The private room is much bigger than most of private rooms or studio in south Italy. It's value for money. The room is very clean and has a very good sea view from the in-room balcony. The air conditioner works well. The bathroom is not in the room but at the end of the apartment. The bathroom is clean all the time. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay in Pablo and Marisa's home. And we highly recommend it and hope we can return again very soon.
