The property is absolutely fantastic, located in a beautiful area. We made the most of the space by going to the local food market and cooking for ourselves a couple evenings and eating on the wonderful terrace - something I would absolutely recommend if you are wanting to stay here.

We didn't meet Francesco or Mafalda but were let in by Alberto, Francesco's brother. Unfortunately Alberto was a little late meeting us, but this was not an issue at all and we should have just called him when we landed in Catania! - The property is easily accessed from Catania and we got a bus to Ortigia, which was no trouble at all.

We had a great stay and Alberto made a great effort to make sure everything was ok - we couldn't find a corkscrew one night and by the next day he had replaced one.

Overall a wonderful space to stay and relax and enjoy a few days in a lovely location, we couldn't recommend it more. Thank you very much for letting us stay at your appartment.
