The place is excellently located. The bathing area nearby is fabulous. Locals sunning on the rocks and the sea is absolutely heavenly. Even in mid October. Many excellent food and drink options nearby. Parking is expensive. 15 euro per day. Would definitely recommend walking to the Archeological park in Syracuse to see the ruins. Hugely impressive. Syracuse also offers restaurants which are much cheaper than on Ortigia. We often bought a bottle of wine and spent time on the little balcony at the flat. Its a typical loud Italian city feeling - if you’re there on the weekend it’s unlikely you’ll get a good night’s sleep because of the noise. But it was stunning and the facilities offered everything you could need.
