The apartment is spacious, very clean and comfortable and has a great furnished balcony with a sea view. The bed is very comfortable and the apartment has all the facilities anyone would require. It is situated very close to the sea and to the centre of Ortigia with the Duomo, Castle Maniace, shops, restaurants etc all close by. Francesco is an excellent host, communications were great, he carried my very heavy suitcase up the steps to the apartment for me and arranged a taxi for us to travel on to Noto. When we return to Ortigia we'll be contacting Francesco to make a booking. Try the apartment, you'll have a great time.
