We had a wonderful stay at Ivan and Jenny's incredibly stylish apartment. The place is extremely well placed for Ortigia, just a few mins from the plaza de largo and the main shopping street and 10 mins walk from all points on the island.

The apartment itself is beautifully designed by Ivan, an architect, with 2 bathrooms - wonderful showers, and a fully equipped kitchen.

Jenny and Ivan were perfect hosts - they drove to meet us and made sure we had everything we needed, and left us some wonderful local produce to sample as well. They also provided us with a map, marking their restaurant recommendations which really helped us to find some great Sicilian food.

If you're looking for a stylish place to stay in beautiful Ortega, I can thoroughly recommend Ivan and Jenny's place - the only tiny caveat would be for those with mobility problems as the stairs in the flat are v steep, but for everyone else, it's a perfect base.
