A lovely apartment only 10 paces from the main square.
Beautiful original architectural features and air conditioning on every floor which was essential in August!
TV on each floor to keep the kids entertained while we got ready - tip for non Italian speakers - you can set the sound to ‘Inglese’ for most of the programmes that were originally English.
Another tip for drivers - you cannot drive to the apartment so park in one of the public car parks (get there early) or just off the island.
Ortigia was by far the nicest city we stayed in while in Sicily and definitely worth a few days if not more t visit. It is truly ancient and steeped with history has amazing food - traditional in the central area and modern down by the fish market. It also feels quite safe.
