Everything was excellent except for the sound of a band playing near the property. It was so loud I could not sleep until 1am when the band finally stopped playing. However, everything else was excellent, so I would highly recommend this place if you plan to stay outside until late or if you do not mind the sound.

Sergio is a great host, very warm and takes good care of his guests. The room I had was spacious and cheerfully decorated. The window faces the temple of Apollo, which offers a great view and is convenient for sightseeing and restaurants. On the other hand, the noise from the square and the bars can be a problem if one is not used to the city noise. The bed is very soft, which may work for some but not all.

The host is extremely polite and caring, immediately putting me at ease. He described the process to me and, handing me the keys, wished me a good stay. The room is cozy and complete with all comforts. It had just been cleaned, as I also met the assistant who had just finished in the meantime. I felt extremely comfortable and if I were to come back to Ortigia, I would already know which B&B to rely on. Pleasant.

Sergio is a very nice man. The room I stayed in was beautiful with a balcony that was directly across the street from the Temple of Apollo, a magnificent archaeological site. The breakfast was delicious.

Poor breakfast. In my opinion, there is a lack of yogurt, toast, an alternative dessert besides the homemade cake, but above all, the absence of coffee pods.

La ringrazio per le gentili parole e le auguro ogni bene assieme alla sua splendida famiglia. Sergio per Casa Cristina
