Casa Vacanza - Sun of Ortigia

Bellissima Ortigia

Pro: Struttura molto curata in posizione strategica ad Ortigia. Pulitissima. Molto consigliata

Contro: Niente

Pro: Appartamento ristrutturato da poco, pulito e confortevole . Abbiamo prenotato nel primo pomeriggio per la sera ,ero un po' titubante essendo sabato,ma il proprietario e la signora che si occupa dell' accoglienza degli ospiti, pur con zero preavviso sono stati cordiali e gentili. Inoltre abbiamo avuto dei problemi con la caldaia che non voleva saperne di funzionare, ce ne siamo accorti alle 10:00 di sabato sera, ma il proprietario è riuscito a rintracciare un tecnico e risolvere tutto nel giro di un'ora. Complimenti a tutto le staff.

Overall good apartment, with a few tweaks could be perfect :)

Pro: Have completely fallen in love with Ortigia! Brilliant location right in the heart of the old town, a few steps from the sea, duomo and many eateries. Lovely large terrace with sun in the morning and shade later in the afternoon. Shared between 3 apartments but we had it to ourselves. Also an airer for washing (no plug for the kitchen sink though!). Apartment was clean, large fridge freezer, TVs in living area and bedroom, aircon worked really well even in high summer heat. Elena was friendly and efficient. There were coffee pods and sugar sachets, but the kitchen could do with a few of the cheap extras usually found - maybe a welcome bottle of water in the fridge for the weary traveller (especially as tap water not drinking water), salt, pepper, oil, vinegar are usual standards elsewhere.

Contro: Wifi was dreadful and barely worked over the week. The tap water isn’t drinking water in this apartment, which I haven’t come across elsewhere in Italy for many years. No kettle. The bed was not comfortable and had badly fitting sheets that rode up during the night, including a noisy and sweaty plastic one.
