We had a delightful week in the apartment which is most conveniently situated in the heart of Ortygia. The rooms are all large and airy and comfortably furnished. We had not realised just how pedestrian friendly the city is and how relaxing and peaceful it is simply to walk around, visit the churches or simply have a meal or a beer in one of the many squares. The apartment itself is spacious and very well equipped – the air conditioning is very effective and the kitchen well supplied for cooking – although we lived mainly on cheese and wine! The apartment is lovely but it is on the top floor and there is no noise from other tenants or traffic – but there are 55 steps! We had a most enjoyable, relaxing and stimulating holiday. Part of the time we hired a car and the private garage- arranged by Patrizia was a very short walk away. Both Patrizia and Gemma were instantaneously available via WhatsApp to answer any queries we had. Would totally recommend.
