Paolos Appartment is 100% recommendable. I have had the nicest welcome, when Paolo arrived with a traditional Cannolo to show me around his lovely appartment. The appartment is perfect - nothing else to say. I highly suggest you to stay there if you want to experience beautiful Ortigia like the locals do and still be in the heart of everything. All the sights, the beach, the Lungomare and the loveliest restaurants/bars are in walking distance.
The place itself is well equipped, clean and beautifully set up.
Will definitely come back! Thank you, Paolo!
