This is without doubt one of the best places we have stayed in. We were welcomed like friends.The welcome was outstanding, Alessandra's husband and her son met us at the bridge into Ortigia to direct us to the free parking spot they had kept for us. There was a bottle of wine to welcome us, coffee, milk,water and juice in the fridge and a press full of biscuits for breakfast. Alessandra was like our personal guide answering all my emails very quickly with recommendations of restaurants and places to visit, some of which were highlights of our trip to Sicily. The apartment is really beautiful, quiet and cool, fully equipped and perfectly located in ortigia, within walking distance from everywhere. I would have no hesitation but to recommend this apartment and hopefully will return there myself.
