Valentina's apartment is an ideal spot for holidaying in Ortigia and getting to know the place. It is only a short walk to the main piazza where there are lots of bars. Also lots of fantastic restaurants nearby down the side streets. At the end of the Via del Croccifiso there is a really great place to get pizza, Castello Fiorentina. There is also a small supermarket and deli right around the corner. It's a short walk to the beach area at Largo Aretusa and the market near the Tempio di Apollo. Location couldn't be better.
The apartment itself is spacious, clean, and tidy. There are kitchen facilities for eating in. One small issue is that there is no actual bed in the apartment, only a (very large) mattress in the small sleeping area at the top of the steps.
