A very well maintained set up with modern amenities right at the heart of Ortigia. Walking around, coffee shops, shops and restaurants are all within minutes from the Maeco. The breakfast served is hearty and of high quality. We were in Ortigia for four nights and Martina and her crew made it even more special.

Lovely, well located and spacious accommodations. Spotless, right in the heart of Ortigia but not noisy - easy access to all sights. Most helpful staff and owner! Alessia is a gem and so helpful, Barbara is a joy at breakfast and Martina is lovely and gracious. Breakfast was incredibly delicious each morning with many wonderful choices and local, family specialties.

Lovely B&B in the heart of Ortigia. Our room was spacious and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was simple but fresh and plentiful. It was also quiet even if facing the street with restaurants and stores. The owner and other ladies working and running the place were very nice and helpful. I would not hesitate to go back to this B&B if returning to Ortigia.

Excellent location in centre of Ortigia surrounded by beautiful architecture. Wide range of restaurants just outside and right next to Duomo Piazza. Despite this, no noise disturbance. Very well appointed and spotlessly clean room. The B&B staff were fantastic - so friendly and helpful and accommodating. Excellent breakfast. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
