This a great apartment with good decor and bathroom and a lovely terrace with views across the rooftops. It’s a bit of a hike to the top floor but worth it when you get there! Our host was extremely helpful in responding to our queries and nothing was too much trouble.
We were right in the heart of bustling Ortigia old town with local shops and restaurants very close by. Lots of tourists around but also many Italians going about their lives- we saw two weddings including one at the church opposite our place.
One of our favourite things was being a few minutes away from the town’s swimming platform where people hang out to sunbathe, chat and take a dip. If you’d like a little more comfort, the club a few minutes walk along the prom hires beds and parasols for around 15 euros- good spot for a little light lunch and aperol too.
