Our stay in Ortigia was fantastic! The location of Daniela's apartment is great - just a minute or two from a little pebble beach and a couple more to the swimming platform that was our favourite destination in Syracuse. It is also close to the main piazza and to useful shops and places to eat. Daniela was away but her friend Davide met us on Via Roma and showed us the apartment. He was friendly and showed us the basics of the flat. The best feature of the apartment was the terrace on the roof. The apartment was a good size for our family of four and had most things we needed, though some took some searching for. Our only hassle was a blown fuse on our last night, but we figured out where and how to put that right. All in all, Ortigia was an amazing place to visit and Daniela's apartment was a useful place from which to explore it.
