We had a fantastic stay at Valeria’s place despite arriving with bad colds that were getting worse. Max checked us in and explained how the place worked. He also welcomed us with a huge plate of mandarins from his own tree, which probably helped with our colds. The location is extremely convenient, just outside Ortigia where all the main sights are. The fish restaurant next door, Onda Blu, is excellent. We never met Valeria but she was in regular contact to help us with everything we needed. Would love to come back in warmer weather.
