The property was tastefully furnished that was the reason I booked this property. But there was no shower in the second bathroom (I had to book another property for my son and his partner), the TV was not working (missed World Cup), the all dishes were kept on the really badly rusted metal rack and no way to recycle/ appropriately discard the domestic rubbish other than to throw all into the public bins in the nearby street (I was told off by a passerby). The worst of all, the owner had no intention of doing anything. When I complained, she got angry with me!!! And the person in charge spoke not quite adequate English, which could sometimes make our understanding of each other difficult (e.g. she mixed up personal pronouns. Was she talking about me or someone else???). All the while I stayed there for a month I felt as if I was inspecting her property for her. What a waste of my time and energy! If the owner had taken a bit of care of her own property, I could have made my stay very pleasant. It was a shame. ##### Yasuko H. Stayed 30 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniele G. 31 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Au cœur d’Ortigia Jolie maison au décor raffiné. Située vraiment au milieu de l’ile D’Ortigia, aux origines de Syracuse. Amoureux des villes anciennes et des beaux marchés, précipitez-vous. ##### Daniele G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Condo Rentals Kissimmee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kissimmee-Condos.d7927-aaCondos.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [A' Coffa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Coast-Hotels-A-Coffa.h37124860.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-Taormina.h2530371.Hotel-Information) > > [Mazzarò Sea Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Mazzaro-Sea-Palace-VRetreats.h983846.Hotel-Information) > > [Relais 147](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Coast-Hotels-Relais-147.h36152489.Hotel-Information) > > [Palazzo del Gattopardo Prince of Lampedusa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Palazzo-Del-Gattopardo-Prince-Of-Lampedusa.h37006476.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantis Bay - VRetreats](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Atlantis-Bay-VRetreats.h985060.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Esperia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Esperia.h1467750.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Sant'Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-SantAndrea.h889626.Hotel-Information) > > [San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-San-Domenico-Palace.h54173.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [La Serenissima Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-La-Serenissima-Hotel.h38267384.Hotel-Information) > > [Dimora Botteghelle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trapani-Hotels-Vrbo-Property.h40000778.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Metropole Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Metropole-Maison-DHotes.h3779098.Hotel-Information) > > [Room of Andrea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trapani-Hotels-Room-Mate-Andrea-Palazzo-Platamone.h35313325.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in São Tomé and Príncipe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Sao-Tome-And-Principe-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d156-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Domìa Boutique Hotel e Cucina ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Domia-Boutique-Hotel-E-Cucina.h99434641.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa San Lorenzo ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Villa-San-Lorenzo-Room-Suite-Restaurant.h25812884.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Bianca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Bianca.h1277578.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Bangor University](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bangor-University-Hotels.0-l6086485-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Domus Sicily - Il Giardino di Michela - Heated Pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palermo-Hotels-Domus-Sicily-Il-Giardino-Di-Michela-Heated-Pool.h35501042.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Timeo.h889634.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Poetto Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Poetto-Beach-Sardinia.d6076214.Attraction) ---
