We loved our stay at Fabio & Valeria's place. It looks just like the photos. The deck was peacefully silent after dark. The air conditioner was wonderful since it was 100 degrees out when we visited in July. The apartment os on a narrow street where you cannot bring a car, so when you check in, you need to double park in the small piazza by the restaurant Il Blu and walk a few blocks, then carry bags up one story. The apartment is very close to the public swimming platform and rock where people sunbathe, and we enjoyed that activity very much. Ortigia was our favorite place in Sicily.
