Casa Cristina

Sergio and Rita are delightful hosts and very accommodating. My wife cannot eat gluten. We had gluten-free pastries for breakfast. The view is amazing, right across the street from the Temple of Apollo.

We had an uncomfortable bed our first night. Sergio switched rooms for us, and the room was great.

Casa Cristina has an amazing location - I loved that our one balcony (there were two) overlooked the Greek temple. It was a lovely spot to have coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. Everything in Ortygia is easily accessible from there. The room was dated but very clean and comfortable - everything one needs - and I actually liked the fact that it felt authentic. We really appreciated the freshly baked cake or croissant (was different on the two days we were there) for breakfast. There were also a number of grocery stores nearby - the one (I think it was the Supermecato Incoop 3 minutes walk) had a wonderful deli where we bought caponata, grilled fish etc. We enjoyed our stay here and I must say that this accommodation is very good value for money.

Nothing

Great location for walking around Ortigia. All the shops, restaurants and historic sites were within walking distance of distance.

Parking was not close so had to pay 25 euros a day to pay near the water.
