The property was placed perfectly for food, swimming, shopping, sightseeing . The renovation downstairs impacted with noise and dust but this was mentioned and was minimised appropriately . Thank you for picking us up at the bus and we have enjoyed our stay .

Excellent location in the heart of Ortigia

Super accommodation just a few minutes from the Duomo and the thriving heart of Ortigia. Our host could not have been more helpful, meeting us from the bus and taking us to the apartment. The only problem was leaving at the end of a wonderful four weeks!

Lia's place Ortigia.

The apartment was well located, clean and very spacious and we really enjoyed the quirky artwork. The apartment was well supplied and Lia quickly responded to our requests. We would happily stay again.

Quiet apartment close to shopping and dining. Safe and secure area.Could use more dishes. Hotpot was unusable due to being heavily calcified. Some dishes were dirty. The only place in Sicily where we had to pay a tourist tax.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Oct 2025
We sent a copy of the mayor's order regarding the tourist tax to reassure Mr. Ditzel, who was concerned about the €2 per day. In Sicily, the tourist tax is paid in 93 municipalities. Mr. Ditzel is the only one who questioned our word. The kettle is 40 days old, and there are a dozen dishes.

Wonderful Place in Ortigia

We would recommend this place. It was very comfortable, full of light, lots of storage, quiet and convenient location and the owners were very kind and helpful. Once we figured out the small, cobbled back passageways, we were able to walk anywhere on the island within 8 minutes. We loved our time in Ortigia!

Our too brief visit to Ortigia

Lia's vacation rental was great. Lia was very accessable and was there to greet us. The apartment was very clean, spacious,and nicely appointed. It is situated in the heart of Ortigia in a very walkable neighborhood. A block from Archimedes Square with many restaurants and shops. A real slice of Sicily.

A great apartment in the center of town

The apartment is conveniently located in the center, but is also on a quiet street. The owner was incredibly nice and accommodating. He allowed us to check in early and even came to the bus stop to pick us up and bring us to the apartment. He definitely did not have to do this, and it was much appreciated. The apartment is clean and comfortable and steps away from all the main attraction and restaurants. Would definitely stay there again.

Ortigia Apartment in a Perfect Location

The host reserved parking at a garage 2 minutes from the apartment. He met us there and walked us to the apartment which was located steps from everything, including get wine bars, markets, and local's restaurants. The apartment was exactly as described, with creative art decorating the walls. The bed was comfortable and the aparment overall was very spacious, unusually large for Italy. I would stay there again next time we visit Ortigia.

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.

Amazing central location

We had a great stay with our boys (3 & 5), the location is so central. We had to change our transport plans at the last minute and we quickly realised that there was so much to see in the immediate area that we didn't need a car. The apartment is a really good size, especially the living room which is very large. Communication was great and Salvatore was very patient despite our later than expected arrival. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
