Hilde's apartment is strategically located - 30 seconds away are bustling, colourful markets stocking fresh produce.
A highlight was stepping out each morning, grabbing a coffee and then visiting the markets
pondering what to cook for dinner.
Hilde and her son were a pleasure to deal with. Hilde collected us from the train station and let us check in early which was appreciated. It was nice to have been left some small food items too. In addition Hilde and her son took us to the train station when it was time to depart.
We found Ortigia an enchanting place, which grew on us each day. Relaxing swims in the ocean, fresh food that was simply outstanding, some classy shops, loads of art/culture.....e perfetto per una passagiata ogni notte...
We spent 8 glorious relaxing days on Ortigia, we had planned some day trips but just never got around to them!
Did I mention the food?? For example -cannolo, cassata, biscotti, gelato (try ricotta flavour) fruit, vegetables, fish, cheeses, try anything with ricotta.
