We had a great stay in Ortigia The appartment was clean, comfortable and well located. We had a warm welcome by Alice and Giorgio who were also very helpfull. The private terrace was very pleasant to have breakfast in the morning or a drink in the evening. The kitchen was suited to make a nice dinner and basic supplies like salt, pepper and oil were already present. Parking in Ortigia is an absolute no-go. You have to park outside Ortigia and we strongly discourage anyone to travel between 19:00 and 00:00. In short, the appartement is a very decent place to stay with its main benefit of being located in the very centre of Syracuse.

The one thing we disliked was the 2,50 tourist tax we had to pay upon entry. Paying tourist tax is verry common, but Alice and Giorgio asked for 2,50 (the 5 five star hotel rate) rather than the 1,50 B&B rate. This felt like a cheap scam. Apart from this, they were great hosts and we had a great time.
