We had a wonderful stay in Ortigia and the apartment is very well situated for touring all of Ortigia, Syracuse and surrounding areas. As others have noted, the stairs to the sleeping loft are steep, so not suitable for those who shouldn't climb. Internet was out during our stay, but in our experience in all of sicily when you are staying in houses made of stone, it is difficult for wireless to work. Apartment was very clean . Loved staying right in the heart of where people live and work. I would recommend this apartment.
