Alessandra's parents, Lucia and Roberto came to meet us at the entrance of Ortigia and drove us to the Casa Marene. They are amazing people, they treated us like family. Right away we felt at home. Casa Marene is a beautiful place, quiet, clean, next to the waterfront, across from a cafe and within walking distance to all the great restaurants and Duomo. My mother, brother and myself are enamored with this place and we plan to come back in the future. This place is as described and I recommend it to anyone looking for a clean and beautiful place to relax.
