Casa Cristina

"Very nicely located and equipped apartment. All you need for a short stay. In the heart of Ortigia, therefore stone's throw from everything there, including beach. 1km walk from train and bus station."

"Sometimes noisy evenings, but that's normal there. Still ten stars."

"Perfect location, friendly host, nice view from the window and balcony."

"Aucun."

"Best location to visit Ortigia. As we are in our 70's everything was within walking distance, even the busstop is right across the road. If you are looking for an authentic Sicilian experience Casa Cristina is the place to stay. Its decor is retro Sicilian with some modern amenities like a private bathroom an aircon and a lift to the 2nd floor where the B&B is located. Don't expect a modern touristy establishment, this is the real thing. The breakfast is sweet Italian. The hosts are warm and wellcoming with a smile and a hug. We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 days at Casa Cristina."

"Wish we could stay longer. Ortigia is beautifull and spotlessly clean"

"Super friendly owners, providing nice local sweets with breakfast. Location is also great, next to the nice center of Ortigia."

"The location of Casa Christina on Ortigia was excellent. It was in the heart of the sights, near the market and many restaurant options. Also an easy walk to the bus and train stations. Sergio was a welcoming host and ensured I was comfortable."

"Location front of piazza , I think this town it’s self almost all over is good location already , you can walk all over easily all most everywhere,"

"So poor breakfast , we went out for having coffee and flesh breakfast, We had reservations for two bed already pay for full price before we checkin, they had asked for extra charge for second bed, when we were there no no we had paid enough,"

"The location is amazing although also loud in the evening, but it's double glazed window/ door so if you keep the door closed, you can try to sleep, however no air. Wonderful view over the Apollo temple and close to walk to ortigia or train/ bus station. Continental breakfast is included however it's literally outside your room, so it can be a bit loud in the morning, there's a kitchen adjacent with a fridge you can make use of, which is great."

"The beds are small but comfortable mattresses, we booked a room with a double bed but it wasn't available - the owners were very apologetic and overall accommodating, also with the suitcases we could leave till late afternoon after checkout, but make sure you specify your bed needs when booking."

"The location was amazing. Close to everything. Loved our room 2. The lift worked very well. Cold breakfast provided was completely adequate. We found free parking not too far from the property. Ortigia is beautiful."

"It was all good but I would have liked to see the owners more for information. But the man we met was lovely."

"I had a beautiful room overlooking the Temple of Hercules which is in a lively piazza. Probably the best location in Ortigia. From the balcony you get an 180 degree view of the sea. It’s an old fashioned apartment with antique furniture. My room had old black and white tiles on the floor, like a Vermeer painting. The ceiling was very high with painted decorative garlands of flowers. Tall windows with shutters to keep out the light and noise outside, a lovely old desk to work on, soft double bed. The room was cleaned every day and fresh towels were given. The bathroom is en suite. Guests can also use the kitchen to cook and make their own meals. You are given your own shelf in the fridge to keep food and water. There is a lift the apartment which is on the second floor. It is a safe, central area. A short walk to the sea and bars where you can sit and watch the world go by."

"The breakfast is rather thin and you would have to make your own tea or coffee. I didn’t realise there was cereal. There are often home made cakes in addition to a fruit yoghurt, fruit juice, bread, biscuits, crisp bread, and a chocolate sweet. But it is all very charming."
