Michele and Lucia's apartment is just as it looks on the photo's - a great place to stay in fantastic Ortigia. And Lucia was very accommodating, welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful during our stay.
It really felt as if we were staying in a well loved home - kitchen very well equipped, hi-tech music system, with funky furniture and interior decor. The views from all the rooms are lovely, but particularly stunning from the roof terrace.
The apartment is located about 200m from the main square in Ortigia, but really nothing is very far on this island. We walked to the market to buy fresh fish and veg, but we also enjoyed local bars and restaurants - which are plentiful and very good value.

We were there during a bit of a heatwave - we like to think even the locals found it hot, thus the air con in the apartment was very welcome. We spent time on the 2 town beaches, and ventured a bit further afield to Aranella beach (at Lucia's recommendation). The little electric bus which runs regularly around the island (50c per person) is useful if you want to go into Siracusa or link up with other busses / trains.
