My husband is Sicilian and we visited Ortigia for his cousin’s wedding. We had high expectations for Silvana’s home based on the reviews and the photos, but they were actually far exceeded the moment we walked in! Silvana’s apartment is IMMACULATE — sparkling clean as if it were brand new. The bed was large and extremely comfortable, the kitchen big and well equipped, and the AC worked extremely well (very important respite from the hot Sicilian sun!). The terrace was even more beautiful than the photos and made for a lovely evening where we cooked dinner in the kitchen as relaxed under the stars. The location was perfect — only a two minute walk to the beach, breakfast, lunch and dinner spots. Silvana was also a very gracious host — easy to get in touch with and helpful for any questions we had about the area. I highly recommend her place to anyone traveling to beauty Ortigia!
