This is an ideally located apartment with rare outside space in the shape of three balconies, giving a 360-degree view of the island and sea beyond. Although it's on the fourth floor with no lift, we didn't find the stairs a problem. Ortigia is a beautiful, historic town within a town. The apartment was clean and the kitchen basic but sufficient to cook meals for four with produce bought from the wonderful food market. Great cafes and restaurants a stone's throw from the apartment, as well as a lovely little pebble beach literally at the end of the street.
