We absolutely loved everything about Ortigia and the flat! Marilena was a wonderful host, and the apartment is beautiful, even more so than on the pictures. It is less than 1 minute away from the sea, the rooms are stunning and the kitchen is well equipped. If you don't have permission to park on the island, you have to leave your car at the local parking, which is about 10-15 minutes stroll from the flat, along the wonderful seaside. Ortigia is full of really nice restaurants and pastry shops, and beautiful to visit.
