An ideal location in the heart of Ortigia. Metres away from the sea, a short walk from the markets, bars, cafe's and restaurants. It was hard to find a property which offered 2 separate bedrooms, of which these were both good sizes, one almost too big, however both with plenty of storage, and original features, including traditional tiles, window shutters and doors. There are great panoramic views from the roof terraces.
There were a few negatives to the property, mainly some general maintenance, as some things seem to have been overlooked for some time.
The two main roof terraces have been fitted with decking, which is in need of repair, with lots of loose and broken deck boards, potential for a fall/splinters.
The bathroom would benefit from a day of deep cleaning. The waterfall showerhead has suffered. We tried to clean this during our stay but ultimately this needs replacing due to a build up of grime in the water outlets.
The shower curtain also needs replacing, we had to put it through the washing machine during our stay. The shower bottom is also made up of loosely fitted deck boards, which are also unlevel, and a slip hazard.
It says in the hand book that this place is a ‘Self Clean’ apartment but I don't know to what extent they want this to be? I assume cleaning up after yourself is pretty standard, washing up etc, but having to wash the towels, shower curtain, clean the shower head and walls, all seem a bit excessive!
