Ortigia is spectacular. We stayed at Tania's place for 10 days. ( We never met Tania but did interact with Emilie, the owner agent, quite a bit. ) We really, really liked Emilie. She was warm, responsive and put our specific requests through to the owner. The space is very comfortable and stylish. Modern Ikea furniture and a lovely bathroom space. The light and windows are the highlight of the space. It is a corner unit which means great light for an Italian apt in a historic city. It was also just around the corner from a great beach. We rented bikes which we were able to park just within the entry which was very convenient and safe. Just up the street is a sweet Pasta take out spot called Cola Pasta and directly below is a great spot to grab a lunch sandwich or tiramasu to go! After the 3nd day of our arrival the Nation went into lock down due to the Caronavirus. I was glad to have the lovely space as a haven during the rest of our tenuous stay.
