This was my second stay here. It really is one of the most beautiful places in Ortigia. The beds and bedding, the furnishings and the kitchen were first class. Wi-Fi and air conditioning were powerful. The view from the rooftop terrace is incredible. Fabio was always helpful and responsive to our requests.

Alfeo Bellevue

A fantastic location! Right by the water and restaurants offering cuisine to satisfy most visitors right outside the front door. The terrace allows you to enjoy a good glass of wine while enjoying the breathtaking view. Moreover, one is right there in the historic Ortiega. Would definitely stay here again.

Giudecca Courtyard

This small house is very beautiful and reflects the traditional architectural style of the region.
The location is 10/10, very central and close to the sea and restaurants and shops. The street is very quiet. The bed is comfortable, as are the sheets and towels. The patio itself is a delight, with natural plants as in the photos. The staff is very friendly and always super-responsive for any needs.
