Lamberto's mother greeted us warmly and showed us the apartment, which is located in an excellent spot in Ortigia, close to everything. We enjoyed our time on the island enormously. While the apartment was somewhat small for two couples and a few items did not work (the washer, some of the burners on the stove), we were able to adapt. The terrace is as beautiful in real life as in the picture and we loved spending time there in the morning or early evening when the sun was not too intense. If you go, take a boat ride around the island and make sure to see the Caravaggio!
