Guest Reviews
- Tevere (2/5): - Solo xc era bn al centro La pulizia e mancata e niente aria condizionata
- Anna (10/5): - Tutto benissimo
- Eliana (10/5): -
- Mariana (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location , clean , big apartment! Quiet area
- Kraptis (7/5): A convenient ground floor apartment in central Ortigia, that needs some work to become pleasant. - The studio apartment was in central location in Ortigia, next to piazza Archimede. It was rather spacious for a single traveler, or even for a couple.
The bathroom was renovated and the shower had hot water all day long. The bed was comfortable.
The kitchen, even though I did not used it (apart from the fridge) it seemed well equipped. However, a microwave appliance would be more useful than the stoves. The apartment was in the ground floor (just 5 steps above the ground level) in an old, poorly maintained, palazzo. Consequently the humidity level was higher than the usual, that in Ortigia is generally high enough.
The next apartment was under renovation; situation that, even temporary, caused a certain noise during the day.
The apartment was so dark, due to the tiny windows, that it was unable to do anything (reading, working etc.) without the lights on even during the morning hours.
The interior could be rather beautiful and atmospheric with the visible stone arch separating the living room from the bedroom, with better arrangement and decoration.
The décor was rather tacky - frames without pictures!!! and welcome signs everywhere.
The last night I used the air-conditioning for heating and I woke up without electricity power. Thankfully it was the morning before checking out - however my smartphone remained uncharged.
The WiFi was not working throughout my 5 nights stay .The caretaker of the property re-sent me the password upon my request. However neither my smartphone nore my laptop were connected.
Even though the separation of the garbage for recycling is rather appreciated, the four large garbage and recycling bins just next to the dinning table was a miserable and not overwhelming view while eating.
- Ekaterina (1/5): Worst experience ever! - Location - dirty: upon check in we found the property very dirty, hair and dust all over the place, shower is dirty, kitchen sink is full of sand and dirt. There was no hand soap or washing up liquid, no sign of cleaning products at all.
- faulty lock that we were not aware of: we got locked in on our second day, host’s agent called for maintenance that used W40 (not the first time) and that was it.
- blocked shower drains: it eventually got fix half through our stay.
- old, uncomfortable pillows, sofa bed also has old and uncomfortable mattress
- very very noisy: the property is by the entrance to the building and the main door is huge and old and in order to shut it properly it has to be slammed really hard, you get waken up by people getting in and out in the morning with the Big Bang. Outside is an aggregation of young people on motorbikes, due to the windows being old - we had to listed for the engines until very late hours
- unusable kitchen: no space for cooking, there is a sink right next to the cooker, thats it.
- poor internet
- very poor management: property is managed by the agency, I have contacted the manager directly to raise my concerns and he simply ignored me.
We have been staying in Orgitia in dozens of properties over the years and we never ever had such a negative experience. There are so many very nice properties with fantastic hosts, we’ve been very unlucky to go through the nightmare stay this time.
I would recommend to stay elsewhere and avoid this property or any other properties from this host.
- Skordas (7/5): 2 Days in Ortigia - Very central location near to everything you will need. Big apartment and well equipped and comfortable. Communication with the owner of the house was perfect (he was available even after midnight). The lock was old - rusty and not working properly (needed lubricant but even after using some, it didn't work properly). The electrical load is very limited: Usage of air-conditioning and hair dryer at the same time caused electrical black-out at the apartment (owner was active and helped through the process of turning the lights on). Be careful with parking: When Ortigia is overcrowded there is severe problem for non residents to park (there is a parking near the apartment but only works with reservations and costs around 20 € / day).
- Cosmin_ (9/5): Great location - The appartment was wonderful, we particularly liked the way we can see the history and structure of the building inside. The bed was particularly confortable, but this is a very subjective matter in general. We had all we needed at hand in the kitchen. A bonus we don't see often: lots of bins for selective waste collection. There were a few minuses concerning the cleanliness, and the bath tub didn't drain properly: as it was really shallow, there was a perpetual hurry to take the shower or to stop the water to let it drain before continuing.
There may be a problem for people not able to move up and down narrow stairs (although there aren't many steps, they are there, at the entry and in the bathroom).
- Susan (8/5): Spacious & clean place in lovely location - Spacious & clean place in lovely location No kettle (but know they aren’t used in all countries!)
- Bernadeta (10/5): Nice location - Locația situata central.
- Simon (7/5): Good -
