Staying at Catia’s place gives you a very authentic experience of living in an old Sicilian apartment with stone walls. It feels like staying with a good friend, as the space is decorated in a very personal way and because of the warm welcome which Catia gives you including very useful local tips. At the same time the modern bathroom provides convenience and the aircons help diminish the humidity which is unavoidable in such an old house. Nice local market outside the house on Sundays, easy parking on street and 10-15 min walking distance to Ortigia. Highly recommended.
