Home from home and so many little touches make this place totally stand out from many guesthouses that I have stayed at in my 30 plus years of travelling. The place is so clean and comfortable. The minibar stocked full of complimentary drinks. The little snacks (again free) offered amazing. Tea and coffee machines also in the room. The bed and sofa both totally comfortable. The host is so kind and helpful. Great directions to get to the free and safe parking area, only one minute from the place. Absolutely no issues with the bathroom or WiFi. Balcony a nice touch too. Just don't expect a view of the Greek ruins. They are on the other side. I kept the door to the balcony open all night and wasn't disturbed by any noise, which is remarkable when you consider the density of apartments around. Breakfast downstairs in the cafe works well and is typically Italian, coffee and pastry. Area felt very safe too me.

Okay, it is a hot 20 minutes walk to the Tempio di Apollo in Ortygia. But that's why it's such good value for money and has great parking. Some reasonable places to eat nearby; but not the mass of choice you get nearer to Ortygia. They are certainly cheaper though. View from my room was of the car park rather than ruins; however as the ruins are bordered by a busy, noisy road, my aspect was much quieter.

Claudio is one of the greaties hosts I ever have - he met me on the bus stop with the car to take to the place (and i did not expect it, because it was in 10 mins of walking but it was reeally pleasant thing), took me for a ride to show where to buy things, where to eat etc. On a place everything was clean and the plenty of stuff for eating: fruits, yoghurts, wate, beer, local snacks, coffee, tea. And everyday Claudio was bringing more! I could not even eat all :) Breakfasts are in the small tabaccheria&pasticheria on the ground flour, you may choose what you want of local bakery and coffee. And you have an amazing view to the archeological park from the windows of pasticheria. I felt as i was a dear guest and everybody loved me with all their hearts. So touching. I wish I am back :) Thank you!!!

The room is very close to the archaeological park, but a bit of a walk to Ortigia. Claudio was extremely kind and met us after we parked our car in the free parking available. It is on the 2nd floor and there is a lift available - but you will have to carry bags up or down 1/2 a flight of stairs but it isn't too bad. The room was large and there was cold water, juice, fruit, and some snacks for us. Breakfast is a card to get you a cornetto and a coffee at the cafe just below which suited us fine - it is available from 5am-11am which is very nice.

Perfect place in every way. From the super comfy bed, to the snacks, to the clean rooms, to Claudio who was the perfect host, inviting me to see the view of the ruins on the other side of the street and gave me lots of tips where to go and how to get around. When the one day I was there the sky opened and flooded the street and the rain wouldn't stop, I found a raincape in front of my door. I enjoyed my stay there a lot and wished, I would have stayed longer. Hope to meet again, Claudio :) Thank you!

The apartment is located in a nice area close to the theater. There is a parking and a beautiful view. The host is very welcoming and friendly. The room was clean and we'll equipped.

Nothing

Apartment is perfectly clean, the owner change your towels and swipe the floor every day, everything smells super fresh and nice there. In the room is everything you need and also as a bonus the owner gives you fresh fruit, water, juices and some snacks for free. You will feel there as in the 4’stars hotel. Minute away there’s a big parking place. Location is just 20minutes of walk from the Ortigia island. Owner gives you tips for nice beaches, typical restaurants and more. For those money you will receive much more than you are used to.

Only small minus for me was breakfast. From central europe we really are not used to eat croissants for breakfast every day, so this is little annoying and too sweet for me. But this can be a plus for someone :)

+ Excellent value for money + this is no ordinary booking.com room , more like a room in a boutique hotel, furnished with very much attention to the detail + extremely comfortable, firm bed + 5min walk to the archeological site + breakfast = coffee and croissant next door in cafe. But in the room loads of snacks and fruit were provided + coffee machine (with decent coffee), water, even one beer. + very nice, attentive and helpful host

+ yes, Ortygia is a little bit far to walk to. But you can't have it all.

The room gives you the feeling of a 5-star hotel. Fully equipped, even with swing kit and slippers. The owner Claudio very friendly, greeted us with 1 bottle of wine in addition to all the snacks found in the room. I have never encountered such attention to detail, the room was tastefully and elegantly decorated. Bravo and thanks for the stay.

Very clean room and in suite bathroom. The owner does make you feel home. Fresh fruit, to go snacks, juice, water… daily filled up in a small fridge inside the room. Very good and silent a/c. If you want to go for a concert at the Arena… I highly recommend to book with Claudio. Just 10 min walk from main entrance. Good value for money.I had a great stay. Grazie :-)

The property was good nice sized room and bathroom. The host was great as he let us stay later than the exit time before we caught our train. The room was very clean. Breakfast was taken at a cafe very near the property which was fine.

The room could have used a second arm chair as one of us had to sit on the bed. Also, a sign outside the building would have helped.
