What more can I say. This little place is absolutely perfect, only steps away from the seafront and solarium yet within a few metres of many great wine bars and ristoranti. With every amenity and a very comfortable king size bed, plus air conditioning, it's a welcome haven on even the hottest days. Silvana, our hostess (who has to be one of the nicest people your ever likely to meet) gave us tips on eating out and even helped to arrange secure parking for us before we arrived (a must if you want to park close enough to the apartment and essential for driving through the ZTL). As with all historic Italian cities, my advice is to rent as small a car as possible, Ortigia has many quaint, tiny winding streets, often filled with stalls or chairs and tables outside cafés. All in all, I'd recommend a stay at Silvanas 100%, we'll be back soon.
