Five stars all the way! Gabriele was a wonderful host. He did everything he could to make us feel welcome and to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We drove to Ortigia on a rainy Sunday, when the city traffic restrictions were in place. These factors made the check-in process more challenging than it would normally be. However, Gabriele stayed in communication with us during the day of our arrival and actually came out to meet us on his motorcycle in order to guide us to our destination. We liked him immediately and found him to be a wonderful person with whom to interact, at every level. The apartment itself is actually more thoughtfully designed, elegantly furnished and comfortable than it appears to be in the photographs. We did not have the pleasure of meeting Chiara because she was out of town.
