Apollo House was an absolutely perfect spot to spend our recent 2 week stay in Ortigia. The apartment was exactly as advertised - fairly newly renovated and spotlessly clean. And the washer/dryer combo was an added bonus. There were half a dozen large bottles of water, coffee, tea and some basic staples provided. And we loved that there were recycling bins! The outdoor market was about a 3 minute walk - a perfect stop every morning to pick up fresh fruit, meat, cheese - pretty much whatever you wanted. There was a small grocery store about a 5 minute walk away. And many, many restaurants close by. We could easily walk everywhere from our location - including into Syracusa.
