Communication from our host was timely and very informative right from the moment we made an inquiry. Salvatore went out of his way to help with booking on site parking and to recommend and make a restaurant reservation for us. In Sicilia not everyone speaks English, so it really helps to have assistance with these little things. Salvatore intuitively knew when to contact us so that we were never wondering what the next step was. We thought he was the best host ever!
The apartment is absolutely stunning, spacious and well designed. Very well maintained and ultra clean. Interior decoration is high end and beautifully finished. Lovely touches like Nespresso pods, wine, beer, water and fruit juice in the fridge + those gorgeous Sicilian almond biscuits. Very comfortable bed with quality linen and towels. Beautiful shower room and a very good hair drier! Very efficient, modern air conditioning units which were essential as temperatures were around 36 degrees C.
The setting in Ortigia is perfect. On the Via Roma, but at the quieter end. About 50m from the water's edge and by the little beach with the clearest water. Very safe environment with families promenading. Loads of excellent restaurants, ice cream shops and coffee shops within 5-10 min walking distance. The main Duomo square is just around the corner.
Next time we'll stay here again.
