I could not have been happier with my stay in Ortigia. Francesco’s top reviews are well deserved. I had everything I needed in my comfortable apartment in the old Giudecca section, one of the most charming of neighborhoods with the kind of little streets I love to get lost in. May I say location, location, LOCATION. THE apartment was a five minute walk from everything. There were restaurants, cafes, grocery stores immediately adjacent. I kept meeting and making friends with people I met on the surrounding cozy little streets. I immediately found my favorites with helpful tips from Francesco. I felt I was living like a local, which is always my goal when I travel. I have to say that vero, Francesco is one of the kindest and most caring people I met in Sicily. He went above and beyond to ensure that I was comfortable and that I got to experience all that I wanted to do during my stay. I could not imagine a more thoughtful host. I hope you will be as happy as I was during my visit to Ortygia‼️
