The location and appeal of the apartment are top notch. We especially enjoyed the gorgeous beach less than a block away, the beach view from a balcony, (and the swallows as they twittered and squealed as they dived within feet of us). Emilia was charming and detailed in her suggestions, so grateful.
For drivers, we did not fully appreciate the difficulty of driving and parking on Ortigia: many one-way and narrow streets, and 20 Euros a day to park near by.
