Denise was the best host we have ever had. She welcomed us with a cold bottle of proseco and sicilian cookies. We had several questions about the town and surrounding countryside which she was more than happy to answer. This apartment was also fantastic. There was plenty of parking and the wifi and air conditioning were very strong. The apartment had comfortable beds and the jacuzzi was sparkling and fully functioning. Bakery, grocery and pescheria are all within walking distance. You could walk to Ortigia from the apartment but I prefer to drive. Don't try to park on Ortigia.
