Casa della Testazza

Location is good for exploring but far from parking.

We chose the place because parking was included. When we arrived at the parking garage, we met our host, Alessandra, but she quickly disappeared, which we thought was odd, but we quickly realized what was happening. They wanted us to pay 20 euros per day for parking. We showed them our reservation, which clearly stated parking included, but they didn't care and wanted to get paid. After some arguing they called the "owner" who agreed to pay for it. I'm fairly certain our host was in on a quick scheme to make 60 euros. Once we parked the car, they told us the apartment is about 650 meters from there. Not a big deal, but certainly false advertising to say that parking included because most people will assume it's on site or at least close by. After we finally settled in, we had another bad episode. The first morning after I got up, I noticed little red stains on the sheets. My biggest nightmare. I lifted the sheet and discovered the mattress protector was the wrong size and only covered about half the mattress. We contacted the host and told her what happened. She told us that she was sending someone right away to put in a new mattress protector and to change the sheets, which she did. The location is fantastic.

L’appartamento si trova in zona centralissima e super comoda a tutto. Molto comodo anche il fatto di poter prenotare tramite lo staff anche il parcheggio in centro ad Ortigia. Le ragazze che mi hanno seguito per la prenotazione e check in sono state gentilissime!

Great location, friendly and helpful staff
