The apartment is a great choice, exactly like the photographs. It’s very elegant, stylish, tasteful and a great place to spend some time in after the sunshine and heat. Brilliantly located, very quiet, extremely clean with everything you need. We stayed here 10 days and it was a great base. One reviewer has commented on the apartment being slightly dark but that’s a feature of most of the apartments on the island so they are cool and a break from the sun. There are lots of lights in the apartment and a sunny courtyard. It was hot while we there but there is excellent air conditioning, easy to use. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had a great shower. The washing machine was a nice bonus. The host Marinella is close by and responds very quickly to any questions or requests. We loved Ortigia, sitting on the steps outside the Duomo, eating an ice cream and watching the world go by was a joy. Sunday night was the liveliest evening of the week with lots of ‘live’ music everywhere which seemed strange to us! There’s a timeless quality to Ortigia, staying in this apartment only added to the experience. ‘All good’ as the Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp would say.
