We did not meet Delia as she was at home with the children but her husband kindly met us and took us to the apartment. The studio had everything we needed, even a kettle, and was ideally situated just around the corner from the wonderful Ortygia Market. The flat is charmingly decorated and we really enjoyed our short stay, our second visit to Ortygia.

Just two points to note: if you are easily disturbed at night, a passageway goes right past and you might want to take ear plugs. Make sure you have a landmark to find your way back, we got lost twice trying to find our way at night, until we had worked out exactly where the flat was. Part of Ortygia's charm is charm is that it is full of narrow little alleys and streets but it is easy to get disorientated. We would happily stay there again on our third visit.
