This was a wonderful stay. We arrived in Ortigia in the middle of a thunderstorm and mild flooding and our wonderful host was there with two umbrellas ready to help us unload and get settled. The apartment has everything you need to explore the island and beyond. Parking on the island is very tricky but Max made a reservation for us (at our request) at a private garage that was 15 euro a day. The apartment is located by some great wine bars and restaurants, but then again the island is tiny and everything is within reach. On a clear day the balcony provides a good view of the sea and waves.
