Mariella was a great host - recommending a whole range of sights to visit and restaurants to try out. The apartment was perfect - a very central, beautiful location with all the amenities you could hope for. We were two couples so one couple had the main bedroom, and the other the living room with a sofa bed which turned perfectly and comfortably into a double bed. She's also got a great selection of Italian magazines and books to read, plus a range of music. We will definitely stay again if we visit Ortigiya. I would highly recommend this apartment.
