    The bathroom drain channel was stuck.

    Cosy apartment with hotel room service. Great self service breakfast. Daily room service. If you don't want them to clean the room you need to tell them. Excellent location, 10 min from the train station and 5 min from Ortigia neighborhood.

    Everything was great

    The location is perfect — just a short walk from the heart of the old town, yet peaceful enough to relax after exploring. The room was spotless, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, with thoughtful touches that make you feel instantly at home.

    Nothing really — everything was great!

    The location was absolutely amazing — right before the bridge to Ortigia, which made it super convenient to explore. Anna was a fantastic host who went out of her way to make us feel welcome and cared for. We really appreciated her warmth and attention. The breakfast was generous and delicious, and the room was very clean.

    We were unlucky to not be able to find parking spot right outside of the apartment building. The host directed us to streets that we may find a space, and if not to a parking lot. We ended up in the parking lot which was a 5 minute walk from the building. We were able to park right outside to unload luggage and check in with no problems. No elevator. The stairs to the room were a bit tough with luggage and for my 86 year old father :(

    Great location just outside of Island of Ortigia. Off of the main road that goes into the island. Very friendly host with helpful information. Small balcony with a nice view of the area. Comfortable beds and very clean apartment. A delicious breakfast with local treats of good quality. We were lucky enough to have a polish couple in the other room which were very friendly during breakfast.

    The parking can be a bit tricky. Have to hang around for people to vacate a spot. We had to pay 2 taxes. Didn't quite understand why as only paid one tax everywhere else in Sicily

    Excellent breakfast with choice of meats, fruit and breads. The owner even bought in some decaff coffee for us. Excellent location near to restaurants on Ortyga

    The down side of being located so close to the Ortigia bridge is that there is a bit of traffic noise from the main road so I would recommend ear plugs for sleeping if you are bothered by noise

    Absolutely spotlessly clean, with a tasty and varied breakfast. Our host, Anna, did everything she could to make our stay comfortable and easy, including helping us find a parking space and recommending places to eat. The bed was very comfortable and the room very stylish. We loved the little balcony too.

    The room smelt damp but it is an old building and perhaps we were one of the first guests of the holiday season. This would not stop me staying here again but just something to be aware of.

    The B&B is in a great location. Our host, Anna was amazing - she sent us messages prior to arrival to let us know about parking and made several recommendations for food. There is free parking but it can get busy. The breakfast was tasty with fresh fruit, yoghurt, pastries, cereal, bread, cheese and meat.

    We did not receive the directions sheet so had a hard time finding the facility -- if it wasn't for the tourist shop close by, I don't think we would have found it.

    The breakfast was good -- Anna the hostess served prickly pears -- our only experience with this local treat.

    Nothing, everything was perfect.

    This whole property is absolutely stunning on the inside, occupying one floor of Anna's family home. We had an absolutely lovely room, stylish and spotless with a nice balcony overlooking a wide street. Anna, the owner, is lovely and really made an effort to make our stay a good one. She advised us on parking and we were able to find a free space yards away from the entrance. We had our best breakfast here in 3 weeks of travelling Sicily in the cute little breakfast area. Location is great, just over the bridge from the atmospheric old town of Ortigia Not the cheapest B&B but very 'boutique' and in our opinion, worth that bit extra.
