"We can hardly wait to return to Sicily and stay in Ortigia again. We thought it was the best of all our accomodations during our 4 weeks away. It was nice to get a bunch of maps and information on the area upon our arrival. It assisted us in deciding what to do. The Pupi Theater was wonderful."
"Giorgio''s spacious and airy apartment provides an ideal base for exploring Ortygia, Siracusa and the region. The apartment has a view over the channel between Ortygia and the mainland, with a constant coming and going of fishing boats and pleasure boats. We were traveling without a car, but found it easy to get around -- next to the sites of Ortygia, within walking distance of the historical areas of Siracusa, and convenient for regional buses,for example to Noto. While most of Ortygia is medieval with narrow streets and limited light, this area is more open. It is an early 20th century building, with generous proportions and lovely spaces. The apartment was well supplied, very clean, and remained cool in an unseasonable heat wave. It is close to the market which has wonderful local produce, preserves and fish. Giorgio was a gracious, well-informed and helpful host and his recommendations were good."
"Dans un ancien palais, appartement très spacieux, propre, agréable et très bien placé sur l''île d''Ortiggia, devant la mer, parking gratuit juste devant, centre ville historique à 10-15'' à pied. Les chambres sont spacieuses, l''ensemble de l''appartement a conservé son style ancien qui lui donne beaucoup de charme. Accueil très sympathique et chaleureux de Giorgio et de ses adorables parents, nous sommes arrivés après Noël et ils avaient mis une décoration de Noël et des friandises pour nos (cinq) enfants...ainsi qu''une caisse de jouets pour notre petite dernière. Nous serions ravis d''y revenir et le conseillerions à nos amis. Une famille nombreuse parisienne"
"Très bon accueil et environnement. Appartement idéal et confortable, tout proche de toutes les commodités."
"Eravamo con degli amici e abbiamo avuto un soggiorno molto buono. L''appartamento é ben situato, grande e bello."
