Quiet apartment close to shopping and dining. Safe and secure area.Could use more dishes. Hotpot was unusable due to being heavily calcified. Some dishes were dirty. The only place in Sicily where we had to pay a tourist tax.

Excellent location in the heart of Ortigia

Super accommodation just a few minutes from the Duomo and the thriving heart of Ortigia. 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!

Wonderful Place in Ortigia

We would recommend this place. 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!

Wonderful place in a quiet part of Ortigia

I don’t want to recommend this apartment because I want to keep it for myself. But it was wonderful. Lia and Salvatore are most welcoming hosts who make you feel like you are a part of their family. Any questions or requests we had were answered immediately and graciously. If we return to Ortigia we will definitely hope to stay here. Grazie Mille.

The property was good overall but does have some some maintenance issues. 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.

A great apartment in the center of town

The apartment is conveniently located in the center, but is also on a quiet street. 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. Would definitely stay there again.

Ortigia Apartment in a Perfect Location

The host reserved parking at a garage 2 minutes from the apartment. He met us there and walked us to the apartment which was located steps from everything, including get wine bars, markets, and local's restaurants. The apartment was exactly as described, with creative art decorating the walls. The bed was comfortable and the aparment overall was very spacious, unusually large for Italy. I would stay there again next time we visit Ortigia.

Lia's vacation rental was great. Lia was very accessable and was there to greet us. The apartment was very clean, spacious,and nicely appointed. It is situated in the heart of Ortigia in a very walkable neighborhood. A block from Archimedes Square with many restaurants and shops. A real slice of Sicily.

Wonderful Place Fantastic Apartment

The Apartment was wonderful, we met the owner nearby and he took us to the apartment, he showed us everything we needed to know and made some restaurant recommendations (which turned out to be wonderful. 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.
