Lovely apartment with full kitchen and comfortable beds and sofa. Central location is great. Be aware there is no elevator in our building, and need to walk into small street with luggage. We were surprised to find that you had to walk through one bedroom to get to the second (with bath between), but it worked out fine. Quick responses to fix broken faucet. We extended twice! Very walkable and close to food and bus stop.

Nice apartment in the historic centre of Ortigia, very close to the cathedral and the buzzing area with lots of cafes and restaurants. The apartment offers a kitchen and two bedrooms with air conditioning and an electric heater. WiFi was good. We didn’t use the kitchen from what I could tell it offered enough utensils for cooking. Bathroom was somewhat small and would probably need an upgrade (shower is very small) but other than that, we’d definitely recommend this to anyone or would love to stay again sometime! Thanks!

Camera molto bella e personale cortese. L'unico appunto che ci sentiamo di fare è che la dotazione della cucina (posate, tovaglioli ecc.) è un po' minimal... se capita, com'è successo a noi, di dover stare forzatamente in camera ed utilizzare la cucina, gli accessori sono pochi... lo abbiamo fatto notare al check-out e ci hanno ringraziato per il consiglio, quindi immagino avranno provveduto.
