Francesca’s place is by far my best experience with Airbnb’s stay. Francesca herself is the best host I ever met. Communication with her was perfect. She reserved a free parking spot literally two steps outside the apartment for us with her own car. She patiently noted down on a map of the isola di Ortigia of all the interesting places that she knows and thanks to her, we have tasted the best cannoli, granita and arancini on the island and probably the whole Sicilia. She also pampered us with the cold drinks in the fridge, and snacks in the dispenser. All the cooking utensil in the kitchen is complete and she even provide pasta, spices and basic ingredients for breakfast in case someone prefer to prepare breakfast at home. We didn’t take a swim in the Cala Rossa which is very near to the apartment but all the umbrella, beach mat, beach towel and snorkelling goggles are available! To make the whole experience even more unforgettable, set the alarm at 6.15am (for August) and walk few steps to the lungomare and enjoy the best sunrise in Siracusa!
