The roof terrace is set up so there is a shady place at any time of day. We had to work on this vacation and it was great to be up there while we dealt with emails. The apartment is really well designed (both aesthetically and functionally) but has very little natural light so isn’t great for working, but I hope most people are here to enjoy all that Ortigia has to offer. Parking was crazy- avoid bringing a car here if you can. There is a really nice run around the perimeter of the island if you like to do that, and great swimming just a few blocks away in the sea. Fantastic bodegas and fried fish at the restaurants around the markets nearby - just really well situated in every way.
