We had a wonderful 11 day stay at Lucas' place in Ortygia. The location is perfect, with lots of activity in the mornings overlooking the market. Fresh veggies, fish and everything at your doorstep. The apartment is everything as pictured and more - 14 foot ceilings, old world charm with modern functionality. And quiet. Parking was easy on the streets nearby - we were in off season, but there is good paid parking minutes away at Talete parking lot. Ortygia is really a gem of a place from which to base a trip to SE Sicily. Highly recommend! Lucas and his team were excellent throughout all our stay.
