The apartment is absolutely beautiful, great taste and design with this magic terrasse from which you can observe the sea in the very front of your eyes. We loved it absolutely. Salvo helped us to get a parking pass for a week and was extremely reactive to our messages and questions. Thank you Salvo. I do highly recommend this place, for all those who are looking for an authentic charm that Ortigia indeed offers and for deseign lovers, because it is a beautiful apartment. It is also well equipped and close to plenty of a good restaurants and nice shops. As for the beach, you have to take a car to go out of the town, they are much better (in our taste) as they are sand beaches.
