Everything was perfect specially our host Giovanni who was very helpful in assisting us with whatever questions we may have. He also helped us park our car near the property after we checked in. Location is just right. There’s an excellent small coffee shop across the street unmarked with great pastries for breakfast. Balcony was a plus! He’s very compassionate and understands the needs of travelers. Grazie Mille!

Overall - outstanding. The location was ideal. It was a 5 minute walk from the train station and the directions were easy. The location was perfect for us, since we wanted to tour the ancient city of Ortigia. The owners were absolutely wonderful tending to our needs during our stay. Giovanni and Elenora were very kind and gracious. Elenora, who is a tour guide, provided us with a wonderful tour of nearby Ortigia which we loved. The room, bedding and other accomodations were perfect. We highly recommend their B & B. Roy & Linda Cirincione
