Gisella'a home is the perfect place for exploring beautiful Ortigia and the surrounding area. It is located in the charming and historic Giudecca (Jewish quarter). Within a stone's throw, you will find a bakery, a small grocery store, a puppet maker, fabulous restaurants and maze-like narrow streets that open onto majestic piazzas. The home is on the top two floors of a historic building and is filled with interesting vintage furniture, a fireplace for cooler evenings (which we experienced in March) and a fabulous roof deck that overlooks the rooftops of Ortigia. The house was very clean with comfortable beds and lovely linens. The kitchen has top notch appliances and kitchen items. Although we never met Gisela in person, she was very quick to respond to any of our needs and went out of her way to help us. We have been travelling as a family of five for ten months and this is one of the best stays we have had with Airbnb!
