This is an absolutely beautiful apartment. The location is in the heart of Ortigia and it is so easy to walk around to many fun shops and restaurants - we loved Cortile Verga for cocktails. Chiara and Gabriele were in constant contact with us and were so helpful! We arrived on a Sunday and because there is no driving in town that day, we parked at P. Talete and walked through the street market just a few short blocks to the taxi stand - had them drive us back to our car/luggage and then on to the apartment. (sounds a LOT more complicated than it was - very easy!) On return, since we knew the town, we simply walked with our luggage back to the car park. It was nice to have a washer/dryer combo in the apartment as well. If you keep the windows closed it is very quiet, but we loved opening them and listening to the neighborhood sounds! We will definitely return!!
