Thanks to Andrea, we were able to add two nights to our stay, having left the last place that was unsatisfactory. He welcomed us personally into his flat which was so stylish, sleek and modern with so much attention to detail. The welcome basket was filled with enough goodies to make a dinner and have a few breakfasts. He personally emptied the modern Bosch dishwasher, stating that all dishes and cutlery are cleaned after each guest departs. insuring a high level of cleanliness. He then spent a bit of time with us, going over basics about the apartment and the area, including a book that he made with his favorite restaurants and bars. He even made a reservation for us at a lovely local restaurant known for its octopus.
We found the bed quite comfortable. the storage for clothing more than ample, the laundry and kitchen supplies plentiful, the heating units very good, and the little patio perfect for drying clothes.
The flat is in a great location, only a few minutes walk to an outstanding bike and walking trail with fantastic views of the sea, and, if you are lucky, the crossing of the cattle to graze. It is also a short walk to Ortigia, a major archaeological site, a great museum that is almost overwhelming in its collections. revealing so much of the history of the area.
Andrea stopped by to say good bye the night before we left. He is a super host who truly represents his island, and we will long remember his hospitality. We will recommend any of his 3 properties to friends.
