Raffaella is a warm and wonderful host with a great little unit in the middle of Ortigia, close to everything. A few minutes to the mercato with the amazing fish and fresh fruit and vegetables, supermarket around the corner, cafes, beautiful piazzas and Baroque buildings.
Raffaella and her family were friendly and so helpful and fun even though we didn't have a common language but we managed. She taught me how to cook octopus and caponata.
To be welcomed at the railway station after a long journey was a bonus.
As a lone female traveller I felt completely safe in Ortigia and can't recommend Raffaella's place more highly.
Grazie mille Mia amica
