We loved staying in this historic structure in Ortigia. Every morning we took our coffee and stepped outside to enjoy the sunrise over the ocean. We could hear the waves all night when we left our windows open. The apartment is a little quirky but that just added to its charm. We would stay here again if we return to Ortigia.

Loved this property! Perfect location and cool/interesting architectural structure. Thoroughly enjoyed Ortiga and Syracuse. Many Electrical outlets did not work. There was no light in the kitchen. Signing in was difficult due to the internet links
Sehr gut
