We stayed as a couple and definitely recommend this place. This roof top apartment was right in the heart of Ortigia and had a lovely sunny terrace; with great weather we could watch the city's swifts dance around the rooftops as the sun came up, and went down. The kitchen was small but we managed to cook a full meal and we enjoyed breakfasts and one dinner on the terrace. Comfortable sofa and lounging spaces; TV; the shower was brilliant - much appreciated after a hot day out and about! The bed was very comfortable (beds in Sicily are all firm) - and beautiful! We loved our stay here; it was memorable. While Erica was away, Simone met us, (we had lost our way arriving quite late and he helped us by phone and text) and helped with our bags, and gave us some local tips - he was very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. There is a useful supermarket round the corner, where we could get water, bread, cheese, and other provisions. The wonderful street food market is 10 mins walk and you have to go - buy the ricotta plus sandwiches the stall holders will make up for you on the spot. Ortigia is a very special place; beautiful, atmospheric. However, we found it a challenge to work out the city's rules about cars coming in and out the city - while we were offered space in the garage - in the end we left the car overnight in the Talete parking close to the bridge coming in to the city. You don't need a car for Ortigia. A small thing to note is that the bedroom space in the apartment shares the bathroom - and that there are narrow steps to climb - (bags only go up once!) but of course, this is because the apartment is at the top of the building and boasts the beautiful roof top terrace! There were plenty of good eating places close by the apartment, and we walked around the whole island from here easily.
