Silvana’s apartment in Ortigia must rank as one of the best places to stay in Ortigia, Sicily, Italy and beyond. As soon as we walked in we were aware of the thought & care that had gone into providing high quality accommodation services from which we could enjoy our holiday in Ortigia. Both double bedrooms are well spaced and have extremely comfortable mattresses and pillows plus doors that open in different ways for access to the terraces but also as secure windows for fresh air. The bathroom - with walk in shower - is smart & well equipped with towels, shampoo & body wash. The kitchen is similarly well equipped for self catering. Silvana provided a coffee machine plus breakfast items and milk, juice & water so we did not have to rush out to the local supermarket. A washing machine is available with two drying areas. There are a number of excellent good value restaurants very close by - notably Ortigia Fish Bar & La Blu. The upstairs terrace is clean with sun beds, chairs & table, sun umbrella and a drying rack for clothes. The apartment is a short walk to the local sun bathing/swimming platform, which is available from late May/early June. Highly recommended! We will return!
