This property was well-located in the Old Town of Ortigia. Very walkable, including nearby Sircusca. Ortigia is a great location for touring the Southeastern area of Sicily which is easily accessible by train. The unit was as described and a good size. The bed was very comfortable as was the living room area. It had a small, but nice balcony with a view of the water and the old fort. There was a nice eating area with the kitchen which was on the small size and not particularly well equipped in terms of cooking utensils. The host, Francesco, was great to deal with and very responsive. The unit was a little sparten on terms of furnishings and could have used some wall art. The only real downside were the stairs to the unit. One must be mobile and reasonably fit to access the unit. On the positive side, after two weeks of using the stairs, we were much fitter.

We had a wonderful time there! Great communication, very easy check in, beautiful apartment with a nice terrace, comfortable bed, great location! Grazie mille Francesco! )))

Great place to stay, lovely accommodation, good location and Francesco is a star!

When booking, we didn’t realize there were 62 stairs to get to the apartment, nevertheless, we did enjoy our stay, ( clean and large). As always in Italy, very few amenities. We did use the washing machine and coffee machine. The check-in was somewhat unconventional as it was a self check-in. We did not meet the owner until we experienced problems with locking the door. He promptly came with a locksmith to repair but only introduced himself. The online picture of the view is not accurate, there is only a partial view of the sea. I would not recommend this apartment to friends simply because of the tight stairs.
