We had a fantastic time between walks around Ortigia (10 min by car) discovering the culture, and relaxing on the private beach just 2 minutes walk from the house. The house was perfectly clean and the sheets and towels of top quality, it was nice of Marriuccia to leave all the basics like salt, pepper, olive oil, pasta, etc as it made it much easier. We felt very much at home and the flexibility and reactivity from our host was impressive. We got the best tips for our holidays! We had the whole downstairs part of the house which has a beautiful pine tree garden and a great shower. I recommend this place highly!
