Pippo (Giuseppe) is really the most amazing host. My husband booked this through *********** but I feel compelled to write a review rather than wait for him to do so. I am overwhelmed at the hospitality of this lovely man- this would definitely rate 10/10 for a stay in Italy ( I had written a scathing review about apartment 16 Via Salomone in Ortigia managed by “Wonderful Italy “ which gets 2/10 in comparison) Pippo kindly picked us up from the bus station as he had a family commitment and he realized we might turn up late, then he proceeded to carry my hugely heavy luggage up 4 flights of stairs. We met up with our daughter and her partner as their itinerary coincided with ours for Ortigia and Catania and went to Sicilia in Bocca for lunch, a recommendation from Peppe. Fabulous bread as I love bread and great pasta, another of my favorite meals. Breakfast is simple but filling, I really enjoyed my panino with mozzarella and tomatoes and ham. As we leave early to Catania airport to rent a car, Pippo kindly offered to bring our breakfast the night before but generously added a sweet wine and biscotti for an after dinner drink. Our room overlooks a piazza that leads to Teatro Bellini so you can people watch from our balcony, we even went down and had drinks with our daughter and her partner at Comis, a lovely place for drinks. Although there is much activity and noise, on shutting the windows, the room is very quiet and peaceful. The air conditioning and Wi-Fi work well ( unlike our apartment in Ortigia) so our comfortable stay as well as Pippo our incredible host has placed this in the top 5 % of places we have stayed at in all the accommodation my husband and I have had over the past 35 years of travel
