After traveling through Italy for almost 3 weeks, staying at various apartments, our arrival at Matthew’s place in Ortigia was an absolute treat. This apartment has spectacular design details, for example, the art is perfect for the location and expertly hung. We visited the Ortigia market daily for fresh food and cooking at the apartment was a delight. Every tool I looked for was available and it was an absolute pleasure to cook in such a lovely space. The high quality washing machine was much appreciated for our laundry. Our favourite was the sitting room - we opened the doors and windows in the evening and enjoyed a glass of wine while reading the Sicilian cookbooks we found in the apartment, all the while listening to the lively noises of the town. Across the street we got to know the wine merchant who educated us on Sicilian wines, and welcomed us back as we came time and time again! Below the apartment our children got to know the couple running the shop selling crepes and gelato as they visited time and time again!
I cannot recommend this apartment highly enough - if yo have the opportunity to stay here, lucky you!
