The owner was incredibly nice and accommodating. He allowed us to check in early and even came to the bus stop to pick us up and bring us to the apartment. He definitely did not have to do this, and it was much appreciated. The apartment is clean and comfortable and steps away from all the main attraction and restaurants.

We had to change our transport plans at the last minute and we quickly realised that there was so much to see in the immediate area that we didn't need a car. The apartment is a really good size, especially the living room which is very large. Communication was great and Salvatore was very patient despite our later than expected arrival.

The apartment itself was perfectly located for the whole of Ortiga - restaurants, swimming, and a supermarket nearby. Inside the apartment was perfect, it was spotlessly clean and had all the required equipment we needed including air con. It felt like a real home the kitchen was very traditional with freestanding units. The bed was comfy, the shower great and there was lots of storage so we were not ripping over our luggage. A nice aspect was that the apartment was full of original art, and each piece had a tiny QR code so you could read about the art and artist, which is not something you generally get in a holiday apartment. All in all it really could not have been better, if we visit Orrtiga again I would want to stay here. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angelica R. 2 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely and bright space in the heart of Ortigia My husband and I stayed at this beautiful property for over a week, and it was a great experience. This apartment is very comfortable, filled with light and good energy. The main living area is spacious, and comfortable to relax in. The walls are covered with the artwork of local artists. The bedroom is peaceful and quiet. The a/c in the bedroom and living area works really well, and the internet is strong. We appreciated that there was a small balcony where we could sit and drink wine, and also dry laundry. It was extremely convenient, and if you are a seeker of calm spaces, this is truly it. The hosts were very helpful and gave great local recommendations for restaurants, and even shared the contact info for a great driver to take us to the airport.

Our host could not have been more helpful, meeting us from the bus and taking us to the apartment. The only problem was leaving at the end of a wonderful four weeks! ##### David B.

The location is fantastic -- right near the center / water -- and the hosts are wonderful. Highly recommend! ##### Jared D.

For eg the aircon wasn’t the best - took a while to get going and didn’t coolthe rooms much, the electric kettle didn’t work and we had to request for it to be replaced. This should’ve been checked. The shower tray in the bathroom kept getting clogged. We were expecting a slightly more functional apartment even though the location was great and the hosts were very nice. ##### Adirupa S.

The apartment was well located, clean and very spacious and we really enjoyed the quirky artwork. The apartment was well supplied and Lia quickly responded to our requests. We would happily stay again. ##### Rob L.

It was very comfortable, full of light, lots of storage, quiet and convenient location and the owners were very kind and helpful. Once we figured out the small, cobbled back passageways, we were able to walk anywhere on the island within 8 minutes. We loved our time in Ortigia! ##### Martha K.
