Charlotte is a delightful host and responds speedily to communications, provides appropriate support [in our case the bus times] and offers a lovely place to stay. The pool is great and the whole stay feels like you are at home, with help at hand should you need it. Everything you might need is provided. The praise from many others is fully justified and we add our thanks to it.
We thought we would reassure anyone thinking of booking who does not have a car that this is entirely feasible from this property - there are three weekdaybus routes [one on Sunday] close by [to Ortigia, the train and bus stations], a supermarket open every day and it is easy walking distance into town - we walked in most days and came back on the bus - to Ortigia it is about 45 minutes walk and the Archelogical park 25 minutes walk. We also went to Noto by bus.
However the property is lovely and it is tempting just to enjoy the sun, the calm and the pool. Thank you Charlotte!
