An ideal base for the first three nights of our first holiday in Sicily. Loved Ortigia, wandering it's narrow streets, perusing its many gothic churches, and views of the sea on both sides. The apartment was great, the stairs up were as expected and thankfully no problem; loved the three terraces! The apartment itself was fine and bigger than the photos suggest. We got a taxi in from the bus terminal, but walked back and it only took 25 minutes.
