Comfortable and a great location
The apartment is in a fantastic position close to the main sights and shops. It was also off a courtyard and so was extremely quiet. The apartment is spacious with a comfortable lounge and dining area. We appreciated the kitchen with everything you needed to cook. Having a washing machine provided was great . Lastly the bed was very comfortable. I would highly recommend staying here.

Elegant and spacious apartment
Situated in a quiet but central part of the island, we have had a wonderful stay in this lovely apartment and strongly recommend it to other travellers. Our hosts were extremely kind picking us up at the bus station and making sure we understood all the features of the apartment and nearby services before they left us to settle in. The apartment is very spacious and light with a pleasant balcony and outlook onto a quiet courtyard, a very comfortable couch and bed, and a well equipped kitchen. There is also good air conditioning in both the bedroom and lounge and a fan for the second sleeping area. We would recommend the delicatessen Gusto at the end of the street where you can get groceries and also delicious Sicilian freshly precooked meals every day. One of the swimming platforms is five minutes walk away and we swam there nearly every morning. A very relaxing way to start the day. The owners were also very helpful in planning a driving tour of the Baroque towns and answering other minor questions. Ortigia is an excellent base to do many short day trips and we would happily recommend this apartment and the island to others. We would also like to stay in this apartment again if we were able to return one day.

Tasteful, spacious apartment in great location
Lia and Salvatore were the perfect hosts, meeting us at the train station and giving us a nice overview of the apartment. They have also provided a very useful compendium, with maps and suggestions. The apartment is spacious and very tastefully decorated - the perfect base to explore beautiful Ortigia. There is a small grocery shop at the end of the street that has all the basics as well as a selection of prepared food that you can takeaway. Many bars, cafes and restaurants within strolling distance. Syracuse train station is also within walking distance (about 20 mins) which we used to travel to Noto for a day trip. The apartment is blissfully quiet despite being centrally located.
