We had a fantastic time in Roberta's apartment in Ortigia. The apartment has everything you need and the terrace and the view makes the place really special. Roberta's sister hosted us and she was extremely helpful, meeting us at the electric shuttle stop and answering any questions we had. Roberta gave us great advice before our trip, advising us on the best way to travel to Ortigia from the airport.
Ortigia was perfect for our holiday - the piazza and streets were lively every night. We ate out and went for drinks a lot, and Ortigia was particularly fun on the weekends. The beach on Ortigia was pebbled and gorgeous, and we used the bus to get to the amazing sandy beaches locally.
I'd recommend the apartment and the area completely!
