Perfecto! This place is so much more beautiful than the pictures can capture. Everything has been considered. Every possible detail. The furnishings and design are high quality, gorgeous and comfortable. We often sat on our classic balcony to have coffee or a late night lemon cello. Perfect location away from the noisey areas of Ortigia and close to the car park (and our favorite bar Mamma’s). We had a car for the 10 days we spent here and understanding where the garage is situated was a bit confusing. You must pay for parking - finding free parking on the streets is a gamble. So we paid around 50€ for 9 days, which was reasonable. If you’re taking the train, the station is not far, maybe less than a kilometre away. There are so many things to see and do in Ortigia and the surrounding area we feel we barely touched the sides! Alessandra is a fabulous host. We got off to a rocky start with text messages that made little sense to either of us, which was mainly my fault. Her English is patchy and my Italian is nonexistent. But we quickly got past this after we met. She met us on site and was warm and apologetic for the communication issues. I decided to translate all of my messages into Italian from then on and this made a world of difference! Alessandra also sent me a lovely birthday message and dropped off a beautiful bottle of local wine. So sweet! I am now motivated to learn Italian to make our next visit even better. You will love this place. I cannot recommend it enough!
