When rating a property, I like to highlight whether the listing sets an accurate representation for it, and whether the manager is responsive and helpful. In both cases the answer is "yes"! In communicating with the property manager, we received fast and helpful responses. This is a waterfront apartment that is very spacious and comfortable, with a phenomenal view from its private balcony. The views out of the windows are not trick photography - the water is truly that beautiful and close. We spent a lot of time on the balcony enjoying the light breeze and the view, and perhaps a glass or two of local wine. The location is perfectly situated, being close to Piazzo Duomo and Castello Maniace, and only a few minutes walk from everything on the island of Ortigia.
