Simona’s home was brilliantly located with the most spectacular views across the marina to Ortigia. You could easily walk into the old town and the hop on hop off bus stop was very close by. Simona provided excellent tourist advice and good recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Although Simona did not speak English, and we did not speak Italian, we managed well with WhatsApp and google translate, and ‘sign language’ 😉
The home itself was very well presented and although compact had everything you could need, perfect for a couple. The air conditioning was quiet and excellent, and having a lift to transport luggage up to the apartment was a great help. Simona travelled from Catania to meet us and welcome us to her apartment, and had left a delicious home made lemon tart - a real treat!! This was the perfect ‘holiday home’ from which to explore Ortigia, Siracusa and southern Sicily. A fabulous apartment in a beautiful area! Thank you Simona :)
