Contact before our trip to Ortygia was clear, friendly and informative.

Chiara was leading us to the apartment 5 minutes after our arrival by taxi from the bus station. She spoke fine english and was happy to offer us maps and useful information about the area.

Ortygia is a beautiful town. Brimming with interesting history, wonderful restaurants and outstanding sights. The apartment was brilliantly located. Central and close to everything we desired to visit such as the beach, syracuse, gorgeous piazzas, the quay where one can take cheap boat trips to the local caves and around the island for a historical education.

The apartment itself was luxurious. Very comfortable, spacious, well cooled by two air conditioning units and equipped with all required amenities.

Everything in Ortygia is within short walking distance. Whilst we took a taxi from and to the bus station, it was only due to the mixture of midday heat and large backpacks. It is perhaps a 15 minute trip by foot.

Chiara was on hand to help us arrange a taxi for the morning we left and overall we had a truly outstanding holiday in her lair.

Highly recommended. Great value, superb comfort in one of the loveliest towns I have visited in Europe.
