I had high hopes for Ortigia and it didn’t disappoint. The location of the apartment is perfectly placed, with bars, restaurants (not sure I found anywhere bad to eat the whole week - prepare to gain weight) and shops all on the doorstep, with glorious views a few steps away. The apartment is clean and comfortable, making it a great base for exploring at an excellent price. It is about 30 minutes walk from the train station which we did happily on arrival, but we booked airport transfer for the return - about €95, in case that helps anyone. All in all I absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay in this gorgeous location on a budget.
