Now, we are talking about an apartment on the island of Ortigia, Siracusa. If you make a choice to…read morebe on your own nothing can beat this. Top floor status with a generous terrace and that's not an underestimation. Modern with everything you need and more. Top quality, a couple of minutes from the Piazza Duomo. And this goes also for the host and his son. You are warmly treated with respect and interested openness. I experienced the morning sunrise and the late evening's starry sky sitting on the terrace and in between the wonderful view over the Ionian Sea and the Baroque buildings of Ortigia.

I was ony way to the city center from my AirBnb apartment and needed to use a restroom. I saw a…read moresign related a bar, so I stepped in and ordered a beer before taking advantage of using the bathroom. After coming back to the bar, I stuck up a conversation with Carmelo. I first noticed the high quality Scotch one side of the bar. Then he casually pointed to his shelf on the right side, and my heart melted. Just coming off a trip to Puerto Escondido, I still haven't forgotten the sweet, spicy, and smoking notes of the various brands of mezcal. Carmelo proceeded to give a sampling of his favorites. With each sample, Carmelo have a detailed description in both English and Italian of the various brand. Very knowledgeable man from an who has never been to mezcal country so I very impressed. Further, every client who happened to be Italian specifically came for a taste of tequila or mezcal. I didn't order any food, and didn't care. The area around his bar has several other cool bars, but Oliva is definitely my favorite Ero solo in centro città dal mio appartamento AirBnb e avevo bisogno di usare un bagno. Ho visto un cartello relativo a un bar, quindi sono entrato e ho ordinato una birra prima di approfittare dell'uso del bagno. Dopo essere tornato al bar, ho intavolato una conversazione con Carmelo. Ho notato per la prima volta lo scotch di alta qualità su un lato del bar. Poi ha indicato casualmente il suo scaffale sul lato destro e il mio cuore si è sciolto. Appena uscito da un viaggio a Puerto Escondido, non ho ancora dimenticato le note dolci, speziate e affumicate delle varie marche di mezcal. Carmelo ha proceduto a dare un assaggio dei suoi preferiti. Con ogni campione, Carmelo ha una descrizione dettagliata sia in inglese che in italiano dei vari marchi. Uomo molto esperto di un paese che non è mai stato nel mezcal, quindi sono rimasto molto colpito. Inoltre, ogni cliente italiano veniva appositamente per un assaggio di tequila o mezcal. Non ho ordinato cibo e non mi importava. L'area intorno al suo bar ha molti altri bar alla moda, ma Oliva è sicuramente il mio preferito
