This is an excellent apartment to use as a base for exploring beautiful Oritigia, and the proximity to the bridge onto the island means it also puts Syracuse within easy walking distance.
The apartment is compact, split over two levels, but clever use has been made of the space. There is one sleeping area that joins on to the living room with a curtain, and then another larger room with separate bathroom that is accessible via an outside staircase. I found this completely fine, and used the downstairs bed for the occasional siesta then slept upstairs at night, but if there are multiple people staying here who need absolute privacy then this should be considered.
The kitchen is functional if you wish to have meals here, and the rooftop terrace makes for an excellent place to eat, and has a good view of the surrounding skyline. The provision of a washing machine is great. Water pressure in the shower is good, although be careful because the water can get very hot, and taking a moderately long shower will use up all the hot water.
Overall I was very happy with this apartment. The value for money is excellent, given the superb location, the comfort, and the facilities it offers. Lorena was quick to respond to any messages, and the check-in procedure was effortless. If I returned to Ortigia I would try to stay here again.
